How to Bootstrap & Access Funding for Your Business

The term "pulling one's self up by their bootstraps" dates back to the 19th century but remains an ever-present part of entrepreneurship. While it is every entrepreneur's dream to access unlimited start-up capital, the reality is that cash is hard to come by. This session will cover ways to get to the money through self-funding on your way to investors, loans, and grants.

The Power of You as Brand & Business Owner

How can I build a strong personal brand to support my business? Learn how to identify how you are being seen, how to take control of that message, and build a strong brand that reflects you. As a woman in leadership, we must always be thinking about our brand- with what we say, what we do, and how we talk about ourselves. This session is for you if you need to:

  • Grow your presence online, in the community, and on social media
  • Earn the trust of your team, prospective clients, and network
  • Define how you want to be known and promote what you do
