Business-Owner Sisterhood Society (BOSS) - Live Networking Event

Join us at Portland Beer Hub for an inspiring evening of connection, insight, and honest conversation with women who are building and shaping their own businesses.

Going For It: A Conversation on Risk, Guts, and How To Stop Playing It Safe

What if the thing standing between you and your next big leap isn't the lack of a plan— it's simply a fear you've been socially conditioned to carry?

Mary Axelsen has taken plenty of leaps in our impressive career - from leaving corporate at the height of a pandemic 5 years ago, to building a thriving career as a consultant, she's done so by staying fiercely true to her values, no matter the risk.

In this candid, conversation-driven session, she'll help us rethink risk and the stories we tell ourselves as women — and why that social conditioning doesn't have to define your next move.

Topics Mary will cover include:

• Calculated risks are not gambles: Learn how incremental steps can lead to bold outcomes.
• Failure does not = defeat — how you can reframe setbacks as your greatest strategic assets
• Why your values should be your compass — identifying your guiding principles will make the hard "no" easier
