“The community has provided me with valuable connections to women that are top performers in their fields. They bring different ideas, experience and spins to addressing challenges and harnessing opportunities. They’re a powerful sounding board that has provided fresh inspiration.”

Picture this … you’re a respected CMO with years of corporate experience. When the COVID-19 pandemic hits, your current employer offers an exit package you can’t resist. It’s a deal made even sweeter by the fact that you recently got a job offer from an even larger technology company. 

But, you’re not sure if this is the path you should take. You describe this as thinking, “I was just feeling stagnant where I was,” and you’re asking, ‘What do I want to do with the next chapter?” You’ve put in the hard work and built a successful career all on your own. Now you’re wondering if it’s time to get some advice. 

So, you turn to ThriveHer. On a whim, you sign up for Pinpoint Your Purpose and walk away with the realization that you need a job that allows you to do the things you like doing most. With guidance from Tricia, you decide to hang out your shingle as an advisor to high-growth leaders of B2B technology companies. You enroll in ThriveHer’s Passport program to learn what you need to build your business, and you discover a community of like-minded entrepreneurs along the way. 

Now, you’ve established your business as an advisor and virtual CMO, helping high-growth companies “amp up their messaging, priorities and go-to-market strategies.” You’re on your own, but not going it alone – because you’ve got a sounding board in Tricia and in other ThriveHer members. Not only that, but you’re having fun again, because you’ve been able to create a career doing what you really love. That’s what happens when you know your next step.

“We’re not only learning a framework, but … we can pitch it off of each other on the calls and … see it in action and try it before we actually go and do it in the real world.”

Picture this … you’ve been in IT consulting and project management for more than twenty years. Throughout your career, you’ve led complex IT initiatives and implementations at several large healthcare organizations. And since 2014, you’ve run a successful independent IT consulting business.

But, you’ve always wanted to do more meaningful work. So when the COVID-19 pandemic results in the cancellation of your latest contract, you decide to use your newfound free time to reevaluate. 

So, you turn to ThriveHer. You sign up for a webinar about finding your purpose. With the help of Tricia and the others in the group, you learn how to craft your own purpose statement. “I’m not looking for work,” you tell everyone. “I’m looking to get more satisfaction in life, to live my life with peace and ease every single day.” Next, you realize the connection and sense of belonging to a community of women is so powerful, you enroll in ThriveHer Passport. Then it all clicks. You realize you want to start a networking and coaching community for other women in tech: Bridge-Ville. Now you have to figure out the action steps needed to build this community. You get a head start by attending an all-day Start the Right Business Workshop. That’s when the momentum takes off.

Now, you’ve launched your business – and made back the money you invested in Passport in just six months. And you’ve found the fulfilling work you were looking for. You’re convinced that “Bridge-Ville would have never existed had I not gone through that webinar.” That’s what happens when you find your next step.

“ThriveHer [has] helped me know where to put my focus.”

Picture this, you’re an ICF- and CCA-certified family coach with over 25 years of experience under your belt. Five years ago, you decided to take this passion for families and launch your very own coaching business. And over the course of your career, you estimate that you’ve worked with more than 7,000 kids – including your own seven children. 

But, your business has plateaued, and you’re not sure how to get it growing again. “Should I be building my email list? Which social media platforms should I be on? … How do I find more people?”, you wonder. There are so many things that you feel like you should be doing that you end up trying to do it all. You even sign up for a few courses offered by business coaches – but nothing helps.

So, you turn to ThriveHer. Through the weekly Passport sessions, you’re able to define specific goals and action steps for your business. You also have the support of a team of fellow entrepreneurs who help you and hold you accountable. And after using the tools from ThriveHer, you’re proud to announce that, “I finally have direction. I’m not trying to focus on all of the things.”  

Now, you’ve made more money than you did in the last three years combined. Not only that, but ThriveHer is giving you the encouragement and confidence boost you need to continue building your business. One of the coaches tells you, “You are going to be so successful. … You’re going to be back here, teaching other people.” And you’re amazed, thinking, “Nobody had ever believed in me like that.” But now you believe in yourself.  That's what happens when you find your next step.
