***NO AGENTS***
The Bold, Beautiful & In Business Summit will bring together women entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals for 2 days of networking, learning and leadership in our vibrant CIBN Connect community.
You will find our high level contacts to be fully engaged with their cameras on, ready to participate with feedback and interaction. Our chat lines will be open for booking appointments on the spot and getting a meeting from the meeting at every meeting.
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 86,000 people on MeetUp to insure an excellent turnout for everyone.
Speakers who promote will be rewarded with prizes and shout outs before, during, and after the event.
Our Speakers Are Members Of CIBN Connect (But We Guarantee An ROI)
If you are not familiar with CIBN Connect you may not realize that this is a members organization where our Speakers Level of member signs up to speak for our many events each year. There are 6-8 major events and dozens of smaller events that our speakers can speak at. Membership gives you speakers training, speakers tools to fill events of your own, magazine coverage (if you buy the annual) and a booking tool that is used on LinkedIn as well. Many summits ask speakers for a fee. There is no fee for one summit, but you do access many speaking events with membership.
We don't require that you have an email list of 5,000, but our membership at the Speakers Level will show you how to gain a following of more than 10,000 people with simple repeat steps on the social channels of your choice. We recently used these steps on MeetUp as a new platform and went from zero to 45,000 in the last 5 months. This is the kind of thing we teach our speakers to do.
The Speakers Membership is $77/month but there are 3 major benefits of signing up $777 for the year:
- $147 in savings or basically 2 months for free
- A full page in the Connector Magazine valued at $1500 and then another full page in the Bold, Beautiful & In Business Magazine valued at another $1500.
- We will market an event of yours (webinar, seminar, coffee chat) to our 44,000 people on MeetUp twice a year. It generally puts 20 to 40 butts in seats each time, so as long as you can sell this is a HUGE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!
If you are not a Member yet and you have questions, book time with our CEO Kerry George.

5 Mistakes First-Time Authors Make That Cost Them ClientsJyotsna Ramachandran Jyotsna Ramachandran aka JRMost first-time authors believe that writing a book will naturally grow their business.
In reality, many books fail to create the visibility, authority, or client growth the author expected. Not because the content isn’t good, but because the strategy behind the book is missing.
In this session, JR (Jyotsna Ramachandran), TEDx speaker and Founder & CEO of Happy Self Publishing, reveals the 5 most common mistakes first-time authors make that prevent their books from becoming powerful business assets.
This is not a session about writing a book. It’s about using a book to build authority, attract the right clients, and create long-term business growth.
JR brings insights from working with over 500 entrepreneurs across 35 countries, helping them move beyond “just publishing” and instead design books that support their brand, positioning, and revenue.
In this session, you will learn:
• Why most business books fail to generate clients or meaningful opportunities
• The biggest strategic mistakes authors make before, during, and after writing their book
• How to position your book so it supports your speaking, offers, and personal brand
• The difference between writing for expression and writing for leverage
• How to turn your book into a long-term authority and revenue-generating assetIf you are thinking about writing a book, or have already written one but haven’t seen the results you expected, this session will give you a new way to think about your book and its role in your business.

Finding Your Why | The Values Exercise Every Entrepreneur NeedsVicki James Founder | Chaos Calmer-in-ChiefMost 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.

The 5 Pillars of Organizational ExcellenceAlicia J Alexander, MSL Organizational Appreciation ExpertThe 5 Pillars of Organizational Excellence in a Modern Work Culture is a reference guide on creating a sustainable, award-winning work culture for the staff of any size workplace. The number of employees a company has in a workplace is not the issue. The issue lies in the perspective of the company’s leadership and the team at the helm of the company. Leadership has a greater influence on the civility of an organization than individual employees. While Organizational Excellence applies to companies with employees, Solopreneurs have circles of influence in doing business that require excellence from the company’s leadership; hence, perspectives are the critical attributes of conducting business with Organizational Excellence.
The 5 Pillars of Organizational Excellence are: Neuroleadership, Neuromanagement, Authentic Appreciation, Workplace Forgiveness, and Organizational Trust. With these pillars, organizations can create environments where appreciation thrives and everyone feels empowered to contribute their best.

Create Freedom and Momentum in Your BusinessGretchen Richards CEOThis is the Year of the Fire Horse - the year to move forward, powerfully.
Since COVID, there has been so much change - it has been a bit head spinning. It's been hard to know the right direction to go in.
That lack of clarity causes us to pause, be uncertain, not take action. Many of us have lost momentum, which has made us discourage.
Now it is time to move past all of that - time to SOAR and be our full selves again so we can move our businesses forward!

The Flowing Founder: How to Build And Scale a Business That Feeds Your Income, Your Mind, and Your SoulMichela Quilici Your Business NavigatorBuilt a business that pays you but leaves you exhausted, stressed, and busier than ever?
Forget everything you've been told about working harder, hustling more, and finding the "right" strategy. The reason your business feels heavy has nothing to do with your work ethic — and everything to do with a hidden mismatch most coaches and consultants completely ignore.
Hi, I'm Michela Quilici — business growth strategist, Forbes Coach, and 5x international bestselling author. For 25 years I've helped founders and CEOs break through growth plateaus — by building businesses that fit who they actually are.
I’ll share with you why “borrowed strategies” are the true source of exhaustion and the unmoving “Stuckness” you may be all too familiar with…
(…And how to break through your current ceiling while building a business that feeds your income, mind, and soul — based on the specific stage you're in right now.)If you've built a business at (or near) six figures, you'll discover the structural shifts that break the revenue ceiling without adding more hours — and why your business model is what's actually holding you back.
If you're in the business operator plateau ($100K–$500K typically), you'll discover the strategic and identity shifts that let your business grow without you at the center of every decision.
If you're the bottleneck CEO ($500K+ but still the chief problem solver), you'll discover the leadership and communication shifts that turn a team of dependents into a business that can practically run without you.
Calm Under Pressure: How High-Pressured Professionals Reset Their Nervous System and Think Clearly in Stressful EnvironmentsValerie Holden Executive Wellness CoachHigh-performing professionals are used to handling pressure, solving problems, and pushing through challenges. But when stress becomes constant, the nervous system can shift into survival mode — making it harder to think clearly, stay focused, and make good decisions.
In this session, Executive Wellness Coach Valerie Holden explains what is actually happening inside the nervous system when pressure builds and why willpower alone doesn’t solve chronic stress.
Participants will learn how to recognize the early signs that their nervous system is becoming overloaded and why many high achievers unknowingly operate in a constant state of stress.
Valerie will introduce simple, practical strategies that help regulate the nervous system, calm the body, and restore mental clarity — even in demanding environments.
Drawing from her experience in law enforcement and coaching high-pressured professionals, Valerie shares tools that can be applied immediately to reduce stress, improve focus, and regain a sense of control.
This session will help participants understand the hidden impact of chronic stress and give them practical ways to reset their nervous system so they can perform at their best without burning out.
