SUMMARY:St Charles Chapter Meeting - Discover Your Archetype: How Women Lead\, Influence\, and Shape the World
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nGUEST SPEAKER: Amy Rannebarger & Darlene Willman\nTOPIC: Discover Your Archetype: How Women Lead\, Influence\, and Shape the World\nWHERE: Pio’s Restaurant – 403 1st Capitol Drive\, St. Charles\, MO 63301\nWHEN: Wednesday March 11\, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\n\n\nMarch is Women’s History Month\, and the St. Charles chapter is doing something a little different to honor those that came before us\, connect with those still with us\, and celebrate those that come after us. \nMost of us do not spend much time thinking about how we show up. We just do. This session creates space to pause\, notice a few patterns\, and see both women’s history and ourselves from a clearer\, more interesting perspective. \nFacilitated by St. Charles Chapter Leaders Amy Rannebarger and Darlene Willman\, we will take a fresh\, modern look at women’s history through six archetypes that show up again and again across eras\, cultures\, industries\, and movements. From innovators and system-builders to disruptors\, protectors\, and cultivators\, these archetypes reveal that influence and leadership have never looked just one way. \nDuring the meeting\, you will walk through a short\, guided exercise to identify which archetypes you naturally align with\, what that means\, and how it applies. We will then connect those archetypes to well-known women from history and today\, bringing history and lived experience together. \nYou’ll leave with language for how you show up\, why certain roles feel familiar\, and how to use that awareness more intentionally in work and life.  \nExpect an interactive chapter meeting designed to spark connection with history\, with each other\, and with the many ways women lead\, influence\, and shape the world around them. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nContact this Speaker Directly:\nAmy Rannebarger\nEmail: amy@sublimitasconsulting.com \nDarlene Willman\nEmail: darlene@personaltouchengravings.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nWEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.
