FAQ's
While we will have worksheets & pens available, we encourage you to bring a favorite journal. Business cards or a way for people to connect with you after the event! You can bring your laptop, but we want to encourage you to stay OFFLINE throughout the day. Pen to paper does wonders! Plus..our devices are often distractions! Please see other sections on food, donations, etc.
Ah, yes! The number one question we receive. You wear what the CEO of your business would wear! While there will be breaks for you to move around, you won't be standing for long periods of time or flipping into a pretzel at any point. Go ahead and wear those skyhigh heels if you want!
We are providing lite refreshments, coffee and tea in the morning and will have water available throughout the day.
For lunch, you will have a selection of options based on the information you shared with us on this Event Form. Our caterer will be accommodating dietary requirements.
In the afternoon, Gotta Make the Cupcakes is providing delicious desserts!
If you have any favorite snacks or beverages, you are more than welcome to bring them.
There is plenty of parking at Verge CoWork.

This day is for you and the vision you have for your business & life!
First things first- block your entire day off since the workshop builds upon itself. To get the most from the day, plan on being there the entire time (9-4pm). Secure childcare, set your email to "out of office" and reschedule any calls on your calendar. Minimize distractions by leaving your phone in your bag on silent & leaving your laptop at home.
Part of what creates the magic of events is YOU! In a world where we are often being pulled in a bazillion directions, one of the biggest gifts you can give to someone else is YOUR attention. And vice versa.
Having an idea of your financials from 2025 and what growth you'd like to see for 2026 is helpful. However, we will NOT be diving deep into your financials. That stays between you and your CPA. :)
