Your Development Resource

When people ask what I do and I answer “personal + professional development,” I’m not quite sure (even if I elaborate) that I explain it well. ☺️ Soooo....here’s an example.

A few days ago, I hosted the Women in Business Speed Networking Event. In the photos below, you can see that I bring women in business together in a relaxed, fun, but organized environment. The result is that we learn from each other, make connections, and expand our support networks. (Hence the name of my membership group Learn. Connect. Support. Membership Group.)

One of my favorite things at these events is listening to the buzz when the networking rounds begin and seeing the engagement and connecting. Even better is receiving the feedback that a conversation or a connection impacted one of the lady’s lives. 🥰

Thanks to all of the ladies who attended, and of course thank you to the sponsors!!

Special thanks to Sarah Henderson for her professional photography...not to be confused with the less than professional pics I took! 🤣

Big THANKS to for presenting at last night’s Learn. Connect. Support. meeting! Windy supplied us with all the materials to make vision boards and gave us some manifestation consulting. 😬

And thanks to the ladies who attended the “post-meeting meeting” at The Cheesecake Factory. 😋
I ❤️ getting social time with this group!!

Learn. Connect. Support. is the professional development group for women in business. BUT…

it’s also about personal development. This month, we discussed Mel Robbin’s book, The Let Them Theory. Great conversation and, as always, a fun time connecting with the LCS members and guests. 🥰 I ❤️❤️❤️ leading this group!!

Thank you to Tammy Stull and Bethany Recker for providing all the snacks! And special thanks to (Desired Focus Photography) for capturing these photos and sharing! 🤗

Next up: our coffee meeting, LCS “Expresso” on Friday, Sept. 26!

Save the date: Wednesday, October 22 at 6:00pm!

It's our last Women in Business Speed Networking Event for 2025.

Beautiful new venue for our Fall event thanks to our venue sponsor, Branda Allen with TCP Asset Management! And of course there will be wine, courtesy of Windy Steiner with One Hope Wines!

Just the next episode of “get out of my comfort zone.” 🤪

Last night, I got to raise money for the Westerville Symphony in the Stars & Stripes Showdown, which required me to get on stage, chat with the conductor, and get a little conducting lesson. 😊

While I honestly worried about this for the past several weeks, it turned out to be a fun experience. Thank you, Axl Pons, for asking. Glad to help, and I love my parting gifts. 🤗

Thank you to everyone who donated, attended, and/or listened to me stress about getting out of my comfort zone the past few weeks!

You think you can’t (or don’t want to) add another thing to your calendar, but it typically ends up being just the thing you needed. 😊
(And guess what…the things you’re stressing about always work out in the end if you can add some laughter and friends.)

Take the time to socialize, to reflect, to connect, to talk about goals and what you’re excited about. 🤩

It’s new episode day! 🎉

Thank you SO much my petite powerhouse friend, Lisa Federico of Northwest Columbus City Lifestyle, for taking time out of your busy week to chat with me! 🤗

We covered so much…leaving corporate, getting back to who you really are, marketing, community…we could have kept going!

Peaceful. Beautiful. Simple.

Thank you 🤗
