Success Circle Events
Coffee Connections
4th Friday of Every Month
Start your morning with like-minded women who are committed to growing personally, professionally, and in community.
Coffee Connections isn’t just a meetup , it’s a space for real conversations, meaningful relationships, and unwavering support. Here, we show up authentically for one another through life’s challenges and successes so you never have to walk alone. Come be seen, heard, and encouraged by women who truly care.
Coffee Connections is where relationships begin. But if you’ve ever left thinking, “That was great… now what?” You’re not alone. Our Workshops are a place for growth. This is where you will take your ideas, conversations, and connections and turn them into the next step. If you’ve been thinking about going deeper, this is your moment.
Intentional Living Mindset Next Step Experiences
Plan with Purpose
June 1st — 8:30 - 11:30
Feeling busy doesn’t always mean you’re moving forward. Real progress comes from choosing what matters and letting go of what doesn’t.
Instead of rigid plans or unrealistic goals, you’ll create a rhythm that aligns your time and actions with your values, goals, and energy. This is about working with your real life, not fighting it.
This is for you if…
Your days feel full but your goals feel far away
You’re tired of reacting instead of choosing
You want your time to match what actually matters to you
You’re ready to create momentum instead of burnout
Join us and take a step toward living the life you want. Register now to plan with purpose.
Turn Conversations into Meaningful Connections That Create Real Opportunities
Attend this two-part summer workshop series designed to help you ask with confidence, build authentic relationships, and turn connection into real momentum.
Know First, Ask Second (part 1)
July 22nd — 8:30 - 11:30
If you’ve been coming to Coffee Connections and making great connections but aren’t always sure how to take the next step, this workshop is designed for you.
The best connections rarely come from pitching yourself. They come from understanding how you can genuinely support others while also being honest about where you need support in this season.
This is for you if…
You’re meeting great people but aren’t sure how to deepen those connections
You struggle to clearly articulate what you do or how you can help
You know you need support but aren’t always sure how to ask for it
You want to build relationships that feel genuine, not forced
Save your seat and start building relationships that create real momentum.
Connect & Grow (part 2)
August 19th — 8:30 - 11:30
If you’ve been attending Coffee Connections and want to stay in touch, follow up, and turn those conversations into real opportunities, this workshop will show you how.
Meaningful relationships don’t grow by chance. They are built through consistent, intentional connection over time. Using the Success Circle Meaningful Conversations framework, you’ll develop outreach strategies, conversation starters, and follow-up practices that align with your personality and communication style so connection feels genuine, not forced.
This is for you if…
You’ve had great conversations but struggle to follow up consistently
You don’t have a clear system for staying in touch with people
You want to reach out more but aren’t sure what to say
You’re looking to build real relationships that lead to opportunities
Save your seat and start building connection habits that turn conversations into real opportunities.
