Career

Growth sounds exciting… until it starts demanding change. Many people say they want confidence, better relationships, clarity, purpose, discipline, peace, a new career, a new identity, or a completely different life. But when real growth actually begins, something unexpected happens: resistance. We overthink. We delay. We go back to familiar habits. We question ourselves. We stay in environments we’ve already outgrown. We become uncomfortable when challenged. We want transformation… without losing the version of ourselves that feels safe and familiar. And this is where many people get stuck. Not because they are lazy or incapable. But because growth is uncomfortable by nature. It asks us to let go of old patterns, old beliefs, old coping mechanisms, and sometimes even old versions of ourselves. And that can feel confusing, lonely, frustrating, and deeply uncomfortable. Especially when one part of you wants change… while another part desperately wants certainty. This Gather & Grow event is for people who feel they are somewhere between: – who they used to be and – who they are becoming. Together, we will explore: – why growth feels difficult even when we truly want it – why people stay stuck in familiar patterns – fear of change and self-sabotage – confidence, self-worth, and identity shifts – the discomfort of outgrowing old versions of ourselves – the difference between talking about growth and actually living it – why awareness alone is often not enough to create change This is not just a casual discussion circle. Gather & Grow is a facilitated experience designed to encourage reflection, awareness, honest conversations, deeper understanding, and meaningful personal growth. You are welcome to participate at your own pace, but come with openness, curiosity, and willingness to think beyond your usual patterns. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming. Most people don’t. Sometimes growth simply begins by finally having the conversations we usually avoid. 📍 Location: I AM WOW – City Concord Free parking available. Please arrive a little earlier to order your drink so we can begin together on time. If you feel like you’ve outgrown parts of your old life but don’t fully know what comes next yet… this conversation is probably for you.

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.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.
