Evolve Elevate (Virtual)

Evolve is all about creating an Authentic Community, Deeper Connections, and Confident Growth. We are a group of entrepreneurial women who connect personally and professionally. We welcome every guest to experience our authentic community with no cliques and no judgment. Come as you are! There's a seat waiting for you. Elevate is an action-oriented connection experience designed to help women entrepreneurs move beyond surface-level networking and into meaningful growth, collaboration, and courageous action. Each session centers around a focused business or personal development topic, followed by intentional breakout discussions that encourage deeper conversations, real relationship-building, and practical next steps. Unlike traditional networking events, Elevate is designed to create momentum. Women are encouraged not only to share ideas, but to actively support one another through accountability, collaboration, brainstorming, and action-based growth. Every meeting is an opportunity to build authentic connections, gain fresh perspective, and leave with a clear action step to implement before the next session. This is a space where women rise together — not through competition or hustle culture, but through encouragement, courage, consistency, and intentional community. \*\*Evolve Women's Collective is a membership based professional women's group.

What Are You Curious About?

"Is it practical?" That question has probably run more of your decisions over the last thirty years than you'd guess. It's a good question. It's just not the only one. This month we're making the case for taking your own curiosity seriously, even when it doesn't come with a plan attached. You don't need to have read anything. You just need to show up willing to notice what you've been putting off for "someday." In this session, you'll name one thing you're genuinely curious about, without qualifying it or explaining why it matters. Then you'll leave with one small, low stakes way to pay attention to it this week. Not a project. Not a commitment. Just a little bit of following. Whether this is your first time with us or you've been with us since the beginning, you're exactly on time. There's nothing to catch up on.

NOTE NEW DATE!!! Old Beechwold; What You Don't Know May Surprise You

On this tour we'll enjoy a 2.5 miles stroll through beautiful Old Beechwold. We'll learn about its unique origin, discuss its transformations through time, and witness its hidden gems. Due to the lack of any sidewalks and the narrow, winding roads here the tour size is limited. If you have weak knees or balance issues please bring a hiking pole or two as we may go "off trail" for a bit of our tour, depending on interest. We can discuss lunch options afterward for those folks who would like to go to lunch nearby. I will cancel this tour in the event of likely rain.

Back to Basics - Forward to the Future: What's Next for Central Ohio Agile

For years, the Central Ohio Agile Association (COHAA) has served as a cornerstone for IT and business professionals dedicated to finding better ways to inspire creativity and innovation in the delivery of value. But as workplaces, team dynamics, and expectations shift, our community needs to evolve right along with them. * Are your teams facing new forms of organizational friction? * Are traditional Agile frameworks and practices feeling stale, misunderstood, or bogged down by enterprise bureaucracy? * As the Agile landscape changes, let's discuss how our community can continue to provide meaningful connections, learning, and support. **What to Expect** Join us for a high-engagement, collaborative evening. Attendees will drive the agenda. We are gathering Central Ohio's practitioners, leaders, and change-agents to tackle the real challenges happening in our day-to-day work lives. Through a focused interactive conversation, we will consider three critical questions: 1. What dysfunctions are you seeing in the workplace right now? Where are teams getting stuck, and what roadblocks are slowing down delivery? 2. What do you actually need from an Agile user group today? How can COHAA serve as a practical, high-value resource for your career and organization? 3. How can we support each other moving forward? What formats, topics, or connections will make showing up worthwhile for you? *500pm-530pm* Connecting & Networking *530pm-630pm* Community Conversation *630pm* Following the conversation, stick around for open networking with fellow local professionals **Who Should Attend?** * Practitioners, Scrum Masters & Delivery Leads navigating daily team dysfunctions and looking for fresh tactics * Product Owners & Business Analysts trying to maximize business value in shifting environments * IT Leaders & Executives seeking better ways to scale agility and support their people * Anyone in Central Ohio passionate about continuous improvement and looking to help shape the future of our local Agile community Come ready to share your thoughts, vent your workplace frustrations, and help us build a stronger, more resilient community together!
