About this Event

The Sky is happy to present a series of three Fall 2025 workshops for women who value expert guidance in productive doses. Each workshop, which can also be taken separately, will include small group private instruction (class limited to 8 women), working dinner and snacks, and an emphasis on using this time as efficiently as possible. You will leave, not only with an upgraded skill set and understanding, but also a finished product! Let us help you get this done and feel good about it.

NOTE: The Sky is committed to empowering women and girls to pursue their goals with passion and integrity. To this end, all of our offerings will feature an opportunity for a certain number of scholarship spots. If you are able to donate toward these spaces, thank you! If you'd like to be considered for a spot, or would like to suggest someone who might be interested, please email us at [email protected] - Angela, Jane, & Kate @ The Sky

Curate Your Personal Brand Workshop

Monday, September 22, 2025 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

When someone googles your name, what comes up? The overall impression of who you are is more than just a name, photo, resume, and logo. Your identity online should incorporate what makes you – you! In this workshop you will learn about what goes into your unique public persona and how to actively shape how others see you online to align with your goals and values. Whether you are a job seeker, student, entrepreneur, stay-at-home-mom, professional, or empty-nester, being intentional with your personal brand will help you stand out, connect with the right people, and achieve your goals – whatever they may be.

DIY Compelling Short-form Videos

Tuesday, October 21, 2025 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Short-form video refers to bite-sized, easily digestible pieces of content (anything under 90 seconds). On Instagram Reels, this type of video has become one of the most popular and engaging ways to connect with audiences. In this workshop, you will learn how to create compelling short video stories designed to resonate with your intended audience—which could be just about anyone! It’s easy, affordable, and impactful. What story do you want to tell?

Why Update/Create Your LinkedIn?

Wednesday, November 19, 2025 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Why should you create, or update, your LinkedIn profile? Do you think LinkedIn is a stuffy, stodgy social media platform for job seekers only? Maybe, but it can be so much more! If you meet someone at a conference and they want to stay connected, there is a good chance they’ll be looking you up online. If you are a small business owner, self-employed, or an entrepreneur, networking is always a priority. When folks scan your profile on LinkedIn they get a good look at your qualifications and past accomplishments. Creatively, LinkedIn can also help tell more of your professional journey story and that you are more than your current role. In this workshop marketing professionals will help you create/update your own LinkedIn profile. Pre-work will be part of the assignment and you’ll leave with a finished product.
