Women at Work

Unshakeable Confidence

Turning Pressure into Purpose and Limits into Possibilities

Join us for an exclusive Women at Work Luncheon on Friday March 28 from 11:00 am - 1:15 pm at Michael's on East. This inspiring gathering brings together professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders for an afternoon of empowerment, connections, and celebration.

Keynote Speaker: Simone Knego

We are honored to welcome Simone Knego, best-selling author of The Extraordinary Unordinary You and an internationally recognized motivational speaker. In today’s high-pressure world, professionals and leaders are overwhelmed by the constant demands of work, family, and society. Many find themselves chasing success on someone else’s terms, saying yes to every obligation, and feeling stuck under the weight of self-doubt, perfectionism, and unrelenting expectations.

The result? Stress that keeps you up at night, overwhelm that makes you want to hide under the covers, second-guessing every decision, hesitation that paralyzes you, and a loss of connection to what really matters.

Simone will share her personal journey and the empowering lessons from her book, which inspires women to recognize their unique value and ready to take on the world.

Champagne Reception: Toast to success and new connections.

Plated Lunch: Enjoy a gourmet meal while networking with fellow attendees.
