SUMMARY:April 2026 Dinner Meeting with Gabi Robledo Presenting
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Ceiling:\nThe Overlooked Method to Break Through Stagnation and Scale to New Heights\n  \nImportant deadline to register:\nMidnight\, Sunday\, April 12\, 2026\nEvent date: Wednesday\, April 15\, 2026\, 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm PT\nVenue: High Desert Music Hall\, Redmond\, Oregon\n818 SW Forest Ave\, Redmond\, OR 97756 \nMost business owners hit a ceiling and look for the next strategy\, the better funnel\, the missing skill. They rarely consider that the real cap isn’t tactical: it’s psychological. And it doesn’t announce itself as fear. It shows up as “being smart\,” “waiting for the right time\,” or “needing more data.” \nIn this talk\, Gabi uses an adventure story to expose how fear masquerades as logic and quietly kills momentum. Attendees will identify their specific growth edge\, recognize the fear patterns blocking their next milestone\, and leave with a strategic action plan to move past stagnation. This isn’t about confidence-building. It’s about seeing the decision point that’s been hiding in plain sight and choosing differently. \nWhether you’re stuck at six figures\, plateaued in visibility\, or cycling through the same revenue ceiling year after year\, this framework shows you where fear is running your business decisions and what to do about it. \nCore Objectives \n1. Clarity on Your Actual Next Move \nYou’ll walk away knowing the specific milestone between where you are now and where you’re trying to go— not the entire roadmap\, just the next clear checkpoint. No more vague goals or waiting for the “perfect” vision. You’ll have named what you actually want and be able to act on it immediately. \n2. Freedom From Catastrophic Thinking \nYou’ll leave with the ability to separate the story your fear is telling from the actual consequence of taking the risk. Most people are paralyzed by imagined disasters that will never happen. You’ll learn to assess real risk so you can make strategic decisions instead of fear-based ones. \n3. The Leadership to Act From Commitment\, Not Confidence \nYou’ll gain the skill to recognize when self-talk is sabotaging your momentum and justifying retreat. You’ll know how to commit to the scary\, hard move at your edge of discomfort\, even when fear is still present\, and refuse to let it run your next quarter. This is the difference between people who break through and people who stay stuck. \nAbout our presentor\, Gabi Robledo: \nGabi teaches women how to lead their lives from internal authority\, self-trust\, and courage instead of external validation and burnout. \nHer work is built on a simple but uncomfortable truth: most people don’t lack confidence—they lack internal authority. They’ve built impressive lives\, hit milestones\, achieved externally\, and still feel like they’re auditioning for the right to exist as they are. \nA TEDx speaker\, co-founder of Nomads With A Purpose\, and facilitator of 100+ breathwork journeys\, Gabi was raised off-grid in an RV—an unconventional foundation that taught her courage as a practice\, not a personality trait. Now based in Bend\, Oregon\, she guides leaders through adventure-based retreats and high-ticket transformational experiences using the Enneagram and Gene Keys frameworks. \nShe works with high-achievers across industries\, entrepreneurs\, creatives\, and leaders who’ve achieved externally but still feel like they’re auditioning for the right to exist as they are. Her approach is direct\, embodied\, and free of generic personal development language. She doesn’t motivate people into action\, she shows them where fear is making their decisions and what to do about it. \nSee and read more about Gabi on these platforms: \nhttps://www.instagram.com/gabirobledo \nhttps://www.facebook.com/gabi.robledo.211308/ \nhttps://www.youtube.com/@nomadswithapurpose  \nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gabirobledo/ \n

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Betrayal\, The Unconscious Legacy with Ali Davidson
DESCRIPTION:We love 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\, and a light dinner. \n \nBetrayal: The Unconscious Legacy with Ali Davidson\nSince the beginning of recorded history women were subjugated and defamed. They were considered the cause and the curse of mankind. Today we feel that we have overcome this historical betrayal\, however\, statistics are showing us something different. There are many kinds of betrayals and 95% of us will experience some form of betrayal at least once in our lifetime. And this will continue to happen until women recognize how they betray themselves. As a result\, we will be raising men who have little power\, motivation\, and strength. If we want to save the world…it starts with us: the creators\, mothers\, daughters\, and sisters. In this talk I will present: the symptoms and signs of self-betrayal and how it affects our lives today\, share the antidote to this inner betrayal\, and provide three steps to healing this unconscious legacy. \nAbout our Speaker: \nAli Davidson is a transformational and business coach\, and an international bestselling author of Born of Betrayal: From Breakdown to Breakthrough. She is also an international speaker\, and workshop/retreat facilitator. Ali has hosted her own call-in radio show\, been interviewed on TV\, radio\, and podcasts\, and loves to teach. She has also owned and operated several businesses. For over 25 years Ali has coached individuals and couples. She loves the work she does and feels called to serve women. Her experience and training allow her to help women define and design their success on their own terms. In doing so they can create a life in which they are both powerful and feminine. Ali says\, “A woman should not have to choose between who she is in the boardroom and who she is in the bedroom”. Like the Dali Lama\, Ali believes that women will save the planet. And to do so\, she says\, they have to know\, love\, and honor themselves. \n🔍 Check out Ali Davidson Online 🔎 \nWebsite      LinkedIn      Facebook \nThe cutoff for registration without a late fee is the end of the day on the Friday before the meeting.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Let Life be Easy with Laney Houser
DESCRIPTION:We love 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\, and a light dinner. \n \nLet Life be Easy with Laney Houser\nLearn simple ways to stop stressing and start living! \nHow to create peace and empower your life by letting it flow with ease so you can breeze through your upper limits to create the success and well-being you want. How good life gets depends on how good you are willing to let it get. \nWe all have internal limits that hold us back from our best life and most stress is self-created. This is good news because it means once you are aware of your limits and the unintentional ways you create stress you can just as easily create peace and power. \nWe don’t deny the reality of pain and suffering but there is a gentle and organic way to pivot and process the pain so that it no longer holds us back. \nYou will learn simple but powerful ways to defuse triggers\, reimagine failures\, and release stress; as well as how to process the anxiety\, grief\, pain\, and loss with humor and wisdom so you can move forward with ease and live your best life in a fresh and empowered way every day. \nAbout our Speaker: \nLaney believes life should be easy and that making money and building an abundant life you love is the most fun. She helps women create joy around making money and building a business. It wasn’t always this way\, she built a 7 figure business that led to overwhelm\, depression and burn-out. It got so bad she went to inpatient treatment for depression for an entire month. She let go of everything in her life and for a time went on food stamps. Seven figures to food stamps is a long spiral down but it ended up being a sweet time where she learned what it meant to truly be happy. Since then she has learned a thing or two and has created a life of joyful prosperity and teaches others to do the same. She now knows that healing your money story heals every relationship in life and is the only way to build a business you truly love. She loves to help others crack their money code and create life-giving 6 and 7-figure businesses and live the abundant life they deserve. \n🔍 Check out Laney Houser Online 🔎 \nWebsite      Instagram      LinkedIn      Facebook \nThe cutoff for registration without a late fee is the end of the day on the Friday before the meeting.
