SUMMARY:September 2025 Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Navigating Women’s Health: Insights from the Inside\nHealth decisions aren’t like rom-coms—you want facts\, not drama\nEvent date: Wednesday\, September 17\, 2025\nIMPORTANT: Registration Deadline: Midnight\, September 6\, 2025\nAs entrepreneurs and leaders\, we know how vital it is to make informed decisions for ourselves\, our families\, and our businesses. Yet when it comes to women’s health\, the system can be confusing—and sometimes overwhelming. \nJoin Dr. Janelle Strom\, board-certified OB/GYN\, for an engaging conversation that pulls back the curtain on women’s healthcare—personal\, professional\, and systemic. \nThree Objectives of This Session: \n\nEmpower Decision-Making: Learn how to ask the right questions and evaluate options when facing choices like home birth\, surgery\, or preventative care.\nDemystify Healthcare Choices: Understand why some women choose non-mainstream medicine\, where it can be helpful—or risky—and how to balance tradition with innovation.\nGain Insider Perspective: Hear what it’s really like inside the world of OB/GYN—beyond what TV shows and headlines portray.\n\nThis conversation is especially relevant for the consummate female entrepreneur—someone used to weighing risk\, managing resources\, and making smart\, informed decisions. And yes\, there will be time for your questions. \nAbout our Speaker:\nJanelle Strom is a member of the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology\, and a Fellow of the American Congress of Obstetrics/Gynecology. She received her B.S. in Zoology from North Dakota State University\, and her medical degree from the University of North Dakota. She completed her residency training at Creighton University in Omaha Nebraska and completed her MBA from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis\, MN. Dr. Strom was also an enlisted member and a commissioned officer in the North Dakota\, and Nebraska Air National Guard. Although Dr. Strom enjoys all aspects of obstetrics/gynecology\, she has special interest in the minimally-invasive surgical procedures which allow women who require surgery to recover more quickly. She is an active member of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists\, and has experience in advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures. \nDr. Strom joined us after living and practicing in Central Minnesota for over 20 years and is thrilled to be a part of our community. She has been practicing in Bend for over 10 years now as well. Married with two sons\, she enjoys golfing\, gardening and cooking in her spare time. \nEducation \nCreighton University – Omaha\, Nebraska \nCertifications \nAmerican Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology \n  \n\nConnectW loves to meet new businesses and new business owners. Please register and join us for the evening.\nConnectW is a women’s networking group that welcomes women in all fields and endeavors—from entrepreneurs and professionals to women simply wishing to explore\, expand and enhance their lives and environments. \nJoin us for networking\, socializing\, a light dinner\, and cash bar. \nNOTE: The cutoff for registration without a late fee is midnight September 9\, 2025.  If tickets are “out of stock”\, please email info@connectw.org to be put on a wait list. \n\nNo refunds offered after September 6\, 2025. \n\nA special ‘Thank You” to our ConnectW Corporate Sponsor: \n \n…and to our ConnectW Large Business Sponsor: Terry Sprecher with Sprecher Group.

DESCRIPTION:AI Anxiety\nTurning Fear Into Fuel for Your Future\nIMPORTANT: Registration Deadline: Midnight\, March 8\, 2025\nEvent date: Wednesday\, March 19\, 2025\n\nWhen faced with rapid change—like the rise of AI—our minds often react with fear and resistance: “I don’t know how to do this.” “What if AI takes away the unique\, personal touches that make my work stand out?” “How am I supposed to learn all this new technology?”\nThese thoughts don’t just block progress; they cut us off from the incredible opportunities change can bring. In this engaging and deeply personal session\, you’ll learn how to identify limiting thoughts\, trace the fears behind them\, and reframe them to create space for curiosity and growth. Through real-life examples of how I’ve used AI in resourceful\, surprising ways\, you’ll see how shifting your mindset can lead to extraordinary outcomes. This isn’t about the tech—it’s about the mindset that empowers you to lead confidently in a world of constant transformation. \nKey Outcomes:\n• Identify and Reframe Limiting Thoughts\nParticipants will uncover and address common fears about AI\, such as the worry that it could replace their unique contributions\, diminish creativity\, or make their skills less relevant. Through this process\, they’ll learn to see AI not as a threat\, but as a powerful tool to amplify ingenuity\, enhance problem-solving\, and unlock new opportunities for growth and impact. \n• See Mindset in Action Through Real-Life Stories\nDiscover how I’ve used AI in practical\, creative\, and unexpected ways to enhance my work\, streamline my life\, and achieve extraordinary outcomes. These personal stories will inspire participants to rethink what’s possible for themselves. \n• Learn the SHIFT Framework to Turn Resistance Into Resilience\nLeave with a repeatable mindset framework that guides you from resistance to resilience.

SUMMARY:January 2025 Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fake It Till You Make It? Not This Boss.\nWe’re going to get deep and real\, which is exactly how we change the workforce as women. Kleenex recommended.\nIMPORTANT: Registration Deadline: January 4\, 2025\nEvent date: Wednesday\, January 15\, 2025\nOne of the biggest barriers to women’s success is imposter syndrome. You know the feeling: “If they only knew how scared\, or incompetent\, or tired I am ….”\n\nIn this interactive session\, women entrepreneurs will learn strategies for trusting themselves as bosses\, colleagues\, and friends in business. Come ready to learn some emotionally challenging but life-changing concepts. You’ll leave the session feeling less alone in your experience as a boss who really means business.\n\nOur objectives:\n1. Understand the reasons why women feel imposter syndrome (it boils down to fear)\,\n2. Identify their own biggest source of fear-based imposter syndrome\, and\n3. Deeply connect with other professional women to mutually support each other in their business and/or professional goals.\n\nAbout Our Speaker\nHow would it feel to achieve everything you wanted – career\, relationships\, physical fitness\, competition and more – without disconnecting from yourself?
