About this Event
After the Stage | An Off-Stage Conversation on Visibility, Influence & What
An intimate, off-stage conversation for women leaders ready to expand their visibility, influence, and strategic opportunities.
Following a season of speaking engagements—including TEDx—this evening creates space for the conversations that rarely happen on stage: the REAL strategy behind visibility, authority, and what comes next when you begin stepping into bigger rooms.
Join a curated group of women founders, consultants, and leaders for an evening of thoughtful conversation, connection, and insight.
Together we’ll explore:
• How women leaders are expanding their visibility strategically
• The influence and opportunities that follow when you step into bigger rooms
• What’s next for leaders ready to move from expertise to authority
Light bites. Wine. Real Conversation
It’s a room for honest conversation, shared insight, and the kind of connections that move ideas—and opportunities—forward.
Seats are intentionally limited to maintain an intimate experience.
Who This Event Is For
This conversation is designed for women leaders who are ready to be intentional about how they show up and where they’re going next.
You’ll feel at home in this room if you are:
• A founder, consultant, or service-based leader growing your influence
• Ready to expand your visibility in more strategic ways
• Curious about how other women leaders are navigating authority, partnerships, and opportunity
• Looking for meaningful conversation—not just another networking event
• Interested in building authentic relationships with women who are also stepping into bigger rooms
Whether you’re speaking, scaling your business, or exploring new opportunities for impact, this evening is designed to create space for thoughtful dialogue and connection with women who understand the journey.
