Time Management and Priority Mastery Workshop Series

Managing time is a lie.  The key to productivity isn't managing minutes, but choosing what to do with the minutes you have. Come to one workshop on its own, or pair it with other workshops to gain traction and build momentum toward an intentional living mindset.

Align Your Focus with What Matters Most

January 12th ~ 8:30 - 11:30

Join us to kick off 2026 with clarity and purpose.

You may wonder—how can one workshop truly align your focus with your actions? We asked the same question until we experienced the power of this practice ourselves.

In this workshop you’ll “get to” strip away the noise and clutter, centering on what matters most so your year is guided by simplicity, clarity, and intention.

At the heart of this practice is the belief that intention beats intensity. By choosing a single, meaningful focus, you’ll create space for deeper impact. You’ll leave with a clear, guiding intention for the year ahead, a personalized plan that reflects your priorities and vision and one small step to turn reflection into aligned action.

Goal Setting Reset

February 9th ~ 8:30 - 11:30

Join us to set goals with clarity and purpose.

You're juggling a million things. You've said "yes" to everyone else's priorities, but when was the last time you moved toward something that truly matters to you? If you feel scattered, stretched too thin, and stuck in the cycle of “busy” without progress, this workshop is your reset button.

You'll walk away with one powerful, actionable goal and a proven framework to make it happen.

And here's the magic: you won't do it alone. You'll be surrounded by like-minded women who get it, who will cheer for you, and who will remind you that you're capable of more than you think. Every woman in the room will be seen, heard, and supported. Because when we focus together, we rise together.

Connect with Purpose

March 9th ~ 8:30 - 11:30

Here's the truth we don't talk about enough: You weren't meant to do business alone. Yet so many of us hesitate to ask for what we need, introductions, resources, support, because we don't want to burden anyone, or we're not quite sure how to ask clearly.

But what if asking for help wasn't a sign of weakness, but an invitation? An invitation for others to use their God-given talents to help you share yours with the world.

In this workshop, you'll shift from "I should be able to figure this out myself" to "I know exactly what I need, and who can help me." You'll walk away with clarity on your most important needs right now, confidence to articulate your ask in a way that's clear and compelling, and a strategic "hot list" of connections to pursue.  (For those attending the Experience LeadHERship Summit, you can experiment there!)

Meet the Team

  • Tricia Sticca

    BUSINESS OWNER & LEADERSHIP COACH

    I help unlock the potential within leaders so they can build high-performing teams and thriving organizations.

    The result:  Clients feel heard, supported and connected more deeply in their relationships, both at work and in life.  They create meaningful solutions to challenges and live a more fulfilled life. 

    My approach focuses on aligning my clients with their values and purpose to create exciting, yet digestible, goals that they feel confident in achieving while experiencing a greater sense of happiness and success. 

    I believe we all have the answers within us.  I am simply a mirror for your best ideas; and help you to see them more clearly.  

  • Tricia Sticca & Christine Spiak

    SUCCESS CIRCLE CO-FOUNDERS

    After years of working with women entrepreneurs, we've seen firsthand the struggles. We’ve been there too – starting our own businesses and facing the same hurdles, from managing cash flow to dealing with the long days where our only co-workers were our dogs and a pot of coffee.

    Throughout our journey, we've learned that the key to breaking through these walls isn't just about having the right strategies – it's about having the right support and mindset. That’s why we created a holistic approach that combines deep community support, comprehensive financial management (think—feeling like the CEO you are), and personal & business development.

    We've experienced the highs and lows, and we know what it takes to get to the next level. Now, we’re here to guide you through your transformation, helping you achieve the business success and personal fulfillment you’ve been striving for.

  • Christine Spiak

    BUSINESS OWNER & MONEY COACH

    I help financially stressed people by teaching them how to manage money that honors both their present and future selves through my business Compass Financial Wellness.

    The result: Clients stop drowning with finances, retire debt free, end the cycle of late payments, stop using credit cards for an emergency fund, build up savings, and get on the same page with their partner.

    During our work together clients don't sacrifice their current lifestyle to secure their financial future.

    My approach focuses on creating sustainable habits that align with values and goals, allowing people to thrive both now and in retirement; giving them the freedom to live an abundant and fulfilled life!
