WESO Event – Grow It! Skills and Resources for Women Entrepreneurs

Grow It! Skills and Resources for Women Entrepreneurs

Date: March 14
Time: 10am – 4pm
Where: Phoenix Plaza Civic Center

Fresh Ideas and Skills: We’ll have extraordinary speakers and workshops with fun, interactive programs to help you feel inspired and leave with a clear plan. Here’s what we’ll cover:

• • *”It’s All Good! Using Reviews to Strengthen Your Business”
    with Shayna Christensen (Blueberry June) & Becky Esquibel (Experience Joy Travel Company) — Learn practical tools to consistently gather great reviews, respond to feedback with confidence and professionalism, and turn your customers’ voices into one of your strongest and most authentic marketing assets; all while building trust and long-term credibility with your online presence.
  • *Group Workshop: “Real-time Review – Putting It All Into Practice.”
  • *”Risky Business: Planning for the ‘What if'” with Kelly Ericksen (Farmers Insurance)  — Thinking ahead helps us stay in control when the unexpected shows up, so one unfortunate event doesn’t undo years of hard work. Asking ‘what if’ is an act of leadership, resilience and smart business sense.
  • *Group Workshop: “Unforgettable in 30 Seconds” — Practice the art of the “hook” to ensure your 30 seconds of fame leaves every listener wanting to hear more.

Resource Connections: Chat with representatives of local business resources, such as Jackson County Library Business Services, SCORE mentoring, and Jackson County / SOU PIER Project. They offer free services, ideas, and options personalized for your situation.

Snacks provided. BYOL or visit the Phoodery next door.
