Kick Start Your Business In 2026 will bring together entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals for 3 days of networking, learning and leadership in our vibrant CIBN Connect community. This event is going to run in a new way that is uncommon for summits.
We will pre-record the half hour speaking sections and they will go live on YouTube one after the other over three days. We will then drive people to watch the CIBN TV YouTube channel recordings in a playlist by running ads and using organic marketing over the three days.
Each day there will be a 90 minute "Networking Session" where we will bring the participants into our MEETN room and make on the spot connections. The speakers will benefit from being part of those sessions because we will highlight them and their gifts with the links. We will record these sessions and put them up in the playlist for further interaction as we continue to advertise this over the coming month.
The VIP Offer will not be these recordings because they are up for the public. Instead we will assist each of the speakers to create a one hour training session that will be good for them to get business from. These recordings will go into the VIP offer. This will give a unique opportunity for us to market the VIP but it also helps our speakers have a proper short course that they have created to use on their future VIP offers with us and with others. These short courses can also be sold by our Speakers to add another revenue source to their business. We work with our Speakers every Monday morning for one hour to help them achieve these objectives.
Speakers also get training at CIBN Connect to help them fill rooms, market events, pick the best podcasts, create webinars that convert and a whole lot more.
Each of our Speakers will share the event with their own email lists and their own communities, and we will also share the event with our 80,000 people on MeetUp to insure an excellent turnout for everyone. We expect over 500 registrations for this event!
All Speakers for this event need to be Speaker Level Members of CIBN Connect NO EXCEPTIONS

Speakers who promote will be rewarded with prizes and shout outs before, during, and after the event.
Our Speakers can speak to our small groups at many meetings throughout the year, we also have them speak at 4 to 8 summits a year, and let them go live in our large FB groups. They can even promote 2 of their own webinars or seminars to our following of more than 80,000 on MeetUp each year. We have a guaranteed ROI for speakers. Book an appointment with Kerry to find out more https://calendly.com/kgeorge-2/one-on-one-discussion
We encourage our Speakers to sell from the stage! You can share whatever links you want from your gifts and VIP gifts!

The Secret to Confidence: Asking For HelpMichel HancockMichel Hancock is talking about the power of personal development and asking for help. Being able to ask for help is crucial for developing stronger leadership skills and fostering significant personal development. This approach emphasizes that strong leaders don't achieve success alone, highlighting the importance of developing robust confidence. In this session, we explore the critical role of admitting the need for help in fostering significant personal development.

Finding Your Why | The Values Exercise Every Entrepreneur NeedsVicki JamesMost entrepreneurs start with excitement—only to find themselves working 60-hour weeks, saying yes to clients they don't like, wondering why their business feels like a prison.
The problem isn't work ethic. It's clarity.
In this practical session, Vicki James guides you through the exact exercise that helped her—and dozens of clients—go from feeling owned by their business to building something that serves their life.
You'll identify your two core values (not the ones you admire—the ones you live by) and use them as a decision-making compass: Should I take this client? Raise my prices? Hire help? Launch this offer?
Through story, framework, and visualization, you'll leave with clarity on your "why" and a tool you can use immediately.
This is Step 1 of Vicki's 21 Steps to Launch framework. Your business should serve your life, not replace it. It starts here.

From Stuck to Six Figures: The Real StrategyMichela Quilici Your Business NavigatorMany ambitious service-based business owners work harder every year—adding more hours, more content, and more offers—yet still find themselves stuck below (or strained at) six figures.

You’ll uncover the real reason most businesses plateau at six figures (hint: it’s not marketing), the structural mistakes that quietly cap income, and the strategic shift that allows growth to become clearer, calmer, and more sustainable—without burnout or chaos.
This talk is for founders who are done hustling, ready to lead more strategically, and want a business model that can truly support long-term growth.

Most importantly, they learn simple, doable shifts that create confidence and control—without shame, spreadsheets, or restriction.

Your Business as a Living Altar: The Frequency ProblemDavid Sampson Shamanic HealerDavid Sampson explains the concept of "The Energetic Cord," showcasing how an "invisible string" connects individuals, using a relatable example of a five-dollar debt with Aunt Lucy. He suggests that by understanding and practicing "cord cutting," people can clear these energetic lines. This process assists in releasing emotional burdens and promoting a sense of well-being, much like a guided meditation helps focus the mind. Our business, viewed as a "home altar," reflects the owner's inner state and influences all aspects, from sales to team dynamics. This perspective encourages "spirituality" in business, fostering a deeper connection to its purpose. Consider your business a living altar, where dedicated "quiet time" and "sacred meditation" can elevate its frequency and contribute to a "spiritual awakening" in your professional life.

What I Learned from Networking as a Dog TrainerYuki*+ Dog TrainerDuring my first in-person networking event after years of isolation, I unexpectedly burst into tears. That moment of overwhelm became my greatest teacher — revealing what dogs experience when they face stress, pressure, and misunderstanding. Through that mirror, I discovered the real meaning of compassion: the courage to meet fear with gentleness. In this talk, I share how lessons from the leash can reshape the way we lead — in business, relationships, and everyday life. You’ll be reminded that calm doesn’t come from control, but from connection — and that the most powerful leadership often begins with empathy, presence, and heart.
