Everyday Leadership

In the high-velocity world of tech startups; whether you're building in AI, SaaS, or e-commerce, staying reactive isn’t enough. You need clarity. You need insight. You need a system that helps you lead with purpose instead of reacting to chaos.

Join us for this hands-on meetup workshop designed exclusively for Chicago’s tech startup leaders who want to cut through the noise and take control of their company’s direction using data-driven decision-making.

We’ll explore how tracking key business activities isn’t just about numbers; it’s about unlocking visibility into what’s really moving the needle. Through real-world startup case studies and a three-part leadership framework, you'll learn how to:

• Lead with Purpose: Identify where your time and energy truly make an impact; and where they're being wasted.
• Build for Predictable Success: Create systems and processes that turn scattered effort into repeatable wins.
• Inspire Long-Term Growth: Cultivate disciplined leadership habits that drive momentum, foster accountability, and scale with your business.

You'll leave with practical strategies and tools to help you spot what’s working, ditch what’s not, and lead with sharper focus and greater confidence. Whether you’re early-stage or scaling fast, “Tracking Your Startup’s Pulse” is your roadmap to smarter growth and resilient leadership.

Ideal for: Founders, COOs, Heads of Product, and Growth Leads in AI, SaaS, and e-commerce startups based in the Chicago area.

In Chicago’s fast-paced tech landscape, building a powerful product isn’t enough. Whether you're leading an AI breakthrough, scaling a SaaS platform, or launching the next big e-commerce solution, your success depends just as much on your personal influence as it does on your business model.

In the high-stakes world of tech startups, information isn’t just power; it’s pressure. Product updates, funding news, competitive trends, user data, Slack threads... it never stops. For AI, SaaS, and e-commerce leaders, the real challenge isn’t accessing knowledge, it’s filtering, focusing, and acting before you burn out or stall growth.

Join us for a dynamic session designed specifically for Chicago’s emerging tech leaders who are ready to stop drowning in data and start leading with clarity. We’ll tackle the hidden costs of information overload: decision fatigue, misaligned teams, and missed growth opportunities; and equip you with actionable strategies to stay sharp and move fast.

You’ll learn how to:

• Find Your North Star: Cut through the noise and build strategic focus so you’re not chasing every shiny object or viral trend.
• Build a Scalable Machine: Implement systems that turn chaos into consistency, and reactive teams into proactive engines of execution.

Whether you’re a CEO, Head of Product, VP of Engineering, or leading a high-growth department, this session will help you build the mental clarity and operational focus to lead with confidence.

Outcome:
Leave with a personal action plan to reduce overwhelm, sharpen focus, and lead your startup with intentional momentum; even in the face of nonstop change.
