Build Your Business

​

UpliftHer is designed by and for women and addresses the unique challenges we face as entrepreneurs in a 5-week deep-dive that reveals practical and creative solutions, and explores how your business is working for you.  

This is an experiential hands-on practical workshop series – not a set of online lectures. Our goal is to create an entrepreneurial experience unique to your needs that helps reset your entrepreneurial mindset while providing practical solutions.

Each week you will be asked to prepare for the workshops to maximize application of the techniques and insights you will learn from the workshops and other entrepreneurs to help meet the demands of the moment and in the future.

You will be getting your hands dirty talking to customers, partners, and other business owners as you encounter the chaos and uncertainty of how our new world actually works. You’ll learn how to turn a great idea into a great pivot, product, or practice. 

Masterminds & Mentor Groups

Guided by Dr. Karen Semien-McBride, noted psychologist and inspirational business coach, Mastermind sessions will help us chart a professional path with improved self-awareness and greater clarity to achieve our professional and personal goals.

We will also work through specific issues in smaller mentorship groups, working together to solve problems.
