SBC She Connects- Women's Networking
Are you a female small business owner with limited time for networking?
As small business owners ourselves, we understand the need for networking, and are striving to find an approach that is focused and productive. When you are running your own business, often on your own, time is incredibly precious. Every minute counts.
We would like to invite you to join us at, [S](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michelle-france-b23650219_thank-you-ladies-for-a-wonderfully-warm-activity-7006552586333925377-ESeT?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop)[he Connects](https://calendly.com/philb/live-she-connects-me?month=2023-07&date=2023-07-13)[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michelle-france-b23650219_thank-you-ladies-for-a-wonderfully-warm-activity-7006552586333925377-ESeT?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop)for networking for female business owners.
We have invited a select number of small business owners who are keen to share their story/business journey and to connect with businesses that will help them grow and succeed.
***‘’Networking is not about just connecting people. It’s about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities.’’*** (Michele Jennae)
Invitees are from a range of industries which include marketing, relocation, food, accounting, coaching, travel, business services and more!
You will need to be prepared to introduce yourself and your company, share a problem that needs the help of other like-minded people to resolve and be prepared to listen and offer professional advice to others.
***[“Feeling confident - or pretending that you feel confident - is necessary to reach for opportunities. It's a cliche, but opportunities are rarely offered; they're seized.”](https://www.inspiringquotes.us/author/5795-sheryl-sandberg/about-opportunity)*** (Cheryl Sandberg)
Click the link now to book your space. Spaces are limited. There is a small fee of 195aed because we find this encourages a more developed business owner to attend and let's face it. Who will serve you and your business better, people who can and will invest in their growth or those that won't?
See you there [Book HERE](https://www.strategicbusinessconnect.com/networking-opportunities)

**Our Speakers**
**Lachandra Baker** Founder of LBB Edutainment and the kind of person who makes you realize you’ve been confusing confidence with performance your whole life. Lachandra blends psychology, research, and radical humanity to help individuals and teams stop code-switching their way through the day and start showing up as someone they actually recognize. Expect to be challenged, affirmed, and genuinely seen - sometimes all in the same breath.
**Annette Santiago Reyes** Annette has a rare talent: she makes the way you communicate feel like a discovery, not a critique. A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact. Whether you're navigating change, life’s challenges, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others. Annette gives you the language and the lens to get there.
**Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTOR™ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy. Rooted in neuroscience and restorative practice, her work helps high-achievers stop running on fumes and start leading from a place of actual capacity. If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, Elizabeth might be the most important person you hear from at Confidence Lab.
**Stephanie Andrews** Founder of Social Black Butterfly Training & Consulting, Stephanie knows what it takes to lead through complexity because she’s done it across social services, healthcare, and operations. She specializes in succession strategy and leadership development, equipping leaders to build trust, navigate the hard moments, and leave something worth inheriting. Stephanie doesn’t just develop leaders. She develops the kind of leaders people actually want to follow.
**Lillian Morales-Laster** SVP Human Resources Director at United Midwest Savings Bank and Executive Director of the Empowering Latinas Leadership Academy (ELLA). Lillian has spent her career combining her passion for equity and inclusion with her experience in human resources to lead teams and organizations in the development of supportive work environments. She leads with a vision of ensuring Latinas' voices are included in crucial decision-making processes, because for Lillian, ELLA is more than just a program. It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes.
**Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it. She asks the questions most people are afraid to, creates space for honest reckoning, and somehow makes the hard work feel energizing. If you’ve ever wondered why doing everything right still feels like something’s missing, you’re in exactly the right room.
**Why Confidence Lab?**
Confidence is the foundation for success in every area of life. Whether you’re navigating a career change, launching a business, or striving for personal growth, building your confidence is the key to unlocking your higher purpose. This is your chance to invest in yourself and start living boldly.
