130 women. 100% fun. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Swipe through. Two years ago, impowr was an idea and a lot of hope. This week I stood up to give my speech at @boomchicago , looked out at 130 women, and had to take a second. Women were leaning in, laughing, swapping numbers and trading ideas like theyโ€™d known each other for years. So many familiar faces and so many brand new ones. Thatโ€™s when it hit me: this is what Iโ€™m building impowr for. ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†. Everyone arrived knowing her networking superpower and wrote it on her name tag at the door. I had conversation after conversation with women who had brilliant ideas and just needed a little push. Some wanted a kick up the butt, some wanted one practical next step. Every single one of them had more in her than she gave herself credit for. ๐—ช๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€. Our wall filled up with the rules nobody says out loud but everyone has followed. Then we laughed at them. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น-๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ. @griddlecakekatie , @lahrahmaynard , @megabuzza and the rest of Boom Chicagoโ€™s cast gave us the most unhinged career advice Iโ€™ve ever heard. They acted out things that have definitely happened to all of us at work, and the room did not stop laughing. A few thank-yous: ๐Ÿคฉ @saskiajmaas , CEO of Boom Chicago, thanks to whom weโ€™ve now done this twice in a row ๐ŸŽถ @bradkempmusic , Artistic Director at Boom Chicago, who made the night possible (and wore pink to match the branding!) ๐Ÿ’— My impowr women, @tiffanygkaude , @thestraighttalk_ , @ziziharchi , @giulikey and @aleksandraaliciavictoria , who are always in my corner ๐Ÿ“ธ @kasiagiska.branding , for the amazing photos, as always The best career conversations donโ€™t always happen in a meeting room. Sometimes they happen when ambitious women get together, drink pink prosecco and laugh until their cheeks hurt. Iโ€™m building the Inner Circle so that this energy doesnโ€™t end when the night does. Want to be part of this community? The link to join the Inner Circle is in the comments. To every woman who came: hold on to that magic. โœจ

Aug/Sep were full full full ๐Ÿฅฐ โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽช I had a gorgeous week at Edinburgh Fringe seeing 39(!) shows, went on two @dreamqueen.improv trips to Berlin and Sofia, performed in so many juicy improv and stand-up shows, celebrated Pride, and shared delicious moments of connection with my friends. Starting October feeling so grateful (and sad), but mostly grateful. โค๏ธ
