The Power Gap Summit – Speaker Packet

Building a powerful network isn’t about collecting contacts—it’s about creating meaningful, strategic connections that drive real business growth.

In this session, you’ll learn how to intentionally build, nurture, and scale relationships that lead to consistent referrals and long-term success. Discover why your network truly is your net worth—and more importantly, how to build one authentically without feeling transactional or forced.

You’ll walk away with practical strategies for starting better conversations, creating trust through connection, and turning everyday interactions into lasting business opportunities. Plus, learn how to leverage simple technology to stay top of mind, follow up effectively, and scale your relationships without losing the personal touch.

If you want a business built on referrals, trust, and genuine connection, this session gives you the roadmap to make it happen.

Many women entrepreneurs are leaving money on the table not because they lack capability, but because they aren’t accessing the funding available to them.

In this micro-session, you’ll be introduced to the concept of building a fundable business and why business grants are one of the most overlooked opportunities for women entrepreneurs. Many women owners don't realize that grants exist specifically for for-profit businesses and that many are designed to be accessible, with minimal barriers to entry.

This session breaks down the power of microgrants, how they work, and why applying for funding does more than bring in capital—it forces you to position your business at a higher level, with clarity, confidence, and visibility.

If you’ve never applied for a business grant, this is your starting point. You’ll walk away with real examples, immediate opportunities, and a clear next step to begin accessing funding that can accelerate your growth.

In this session, Quint Studer challenges how women show up as leaders, authors, and decision-makers—and where they unintentionally hold themselves back.

You’ll learn why waiting for perfection delays visibility and how to start sharing your ideas now to build authority. He introduces “Park Ranger Leadership,” a powerful shift from rescuing others to equipping them for long-term success. Most importantly, he highlights intuition as a competitive advantage—one many women trust personally but hesitate to use in business.

This conversation is about moving from hesitation to action: publishing your voice, leading with intention, and trusting your instincts to make stronger decisions.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re ready, this session will challenge that—and show you what to do next.

Being a Chief Executive and changing the mindset from employee to owner is difficult to navigate. There are so many questions to explore. What is the stuff that it takes to be an effective chief executive? What do I need to know – and do – to become more efficient? Do I hold on to what society has told me or do I need to add a bit of flavor to the mix? How do I ensure that I am still being me? What makes a CEO powerful without losing the core values of respect and care? What is the right mix of ingredients? How do I make my priorities clear? How do I avoid trying to do everything at once? What does the complete package look like to me? What are my non-negotiables? Let’s talk about it . . .

The presentation features a workshop designed to help entrepreneurs overcome the "treadmill stage," a state of being stuck in "firefighting mode" while failing to make actual progress toward their business vision. We will learn to bridge the gap between a high-level vision and daily work habits to get you off the treadmill and running in the right direction.

Creating video content doesn’t have to be overwhelming—or perfect—to be effective.

In this session, you’ll learn how to confidently show up on camera and create consistent, engaging content using simple, practical tools. From planning (pre-production) to filming and posting, discover how to remove the barriers that keep you stuck and start producing content that builds visibility and trust.

You’ll walk away with actionable strategies for simplifying your setup, improving lighting and audio, and structuring your content so it captures attention quickly. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to be authentic on camera—because connection, not perfection, is what drives results.

If you’ve been holding back from creating video, this session gives you a clear, doable path to start showing up and staying visible.

The Power Up Your Tech (PUYT) graduating cohort panel spotlights 5 women entrepreneurs who have spent the last 6 months closing their own power gaps through upgraded technology, strategic support, and powerful collaboration.

Powerful Women Collective created PUYT to address a critical issue: women are leaving trillions of dollars on the table, often due to inefficient systems, outdated technology, and lack of strategic support. This program removes those barriers by combining refurbished tech, hands-on resources, and a high-accountability community designed to help women operate smarter and grow faster.

Built right here in Escambia County, this initiative is intentionally local because when women increase their income, they reinvest into families, businesses, and the broader community. The impact compounds.

In this panel, graduates share their stories of real shifts in confidence, revenue, visibility, and capability.

If you’re ready to start closing your own power gap, the next cohort is your opportunity.

Networking doesn’t have to feel forced or transactional—it can be one of the most powerful tools for growing your business when done with intention.

In this session, you’ll learn how to move beyond surface-level conversations and turn everyday interactions into meaningful, lasting connections. Through simple yet strategic shifts, discover how curiosity, sincerity, and value can transform the way you show up in rooms, build relationships, and expand your network.

Instead of focusing on being impressive, you’ll learn how to be genuinely interested—creating confidence, trust, and opportunities that naturally follow.

If you’ve ever struggled with networking or visibility, this session offers a practical, human-centered approach to building relationships that actually drive results.

Are you trapped in the exhausting "feast and famine" cycle—hustling for leads, landing clients, and then stopping sales completely to focus on delivery? In this highly actionable session, you will learn how to eliminate the "yuck" of selling and build a predictable revenue engine.

This presentation shifts your mindset from pushy selling to simply helping people buy. You will learn how to price for outcomes rather than effort to stop undercharging, execute the "You, Me, and The Next Step" framework to avoid over-explaining and close consistently, and implement a simple 15-minute daily sales rhythm to scale revenue without burnout.

Walk away with a blocked calendar for your 15-minute daily routine, a clear target persona, and a drafted script to immediately convert your warmest leads.

Building a business is tough, but realizing you don't know how to ask for the help you need makes it even harder. Let's talk about the survival tool we all avoid: the Ask.

Join me as I share my own wake-up call at 36 and the ongoing struggle to build a business as a woman affected by the Economic Power Gap. We will cover:

• The Reality Check: Why we are conditioned to give stability to others while neglection our own.
• The "Micro-Ask": How to stop freezing up and start asking for exactly what you need without feeling like a burden.
• The Brag File: A concrete way to kill imposter syndrome before a big pitch.
• Passing the Mic & Name-Dropping: How to actively advocate for other women in the rooms where decisions are made.

Walk away with strategies you can put into practice before the summit is even over.
