DATE: Tuesday April 7, 2026
TIME: 8:00-9:00 AM

MEMBERS: Please sign in to get access to register

Spring is often associated with growth, but growth doesn’t have to mean doing more or pushing harder. This MEM is about expansion that feels sustainable, not exhausting.
Together, we’ll talk about what growth looks like in this season of life and business, how to recognize early signs of burnout, and how to create space for progress without sacrificing your well-being.
This is a conversation for women who want to move forward and protect their energy.
Conversation flow may include:

Signs you’re growing vs. signs you’re overextending
Redefining “productive” in this season
What needs support, simplification, or boundaries
Choosing growth that aligns with your capacity

West County Chapter Meeting - Perception Tradecraft: Mastering Your Reputation & Professional Positioning
2026-04-16 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Il Bel Lago, 11631 Olive Blvd., St. Louis, MO, 63141
GUEST SPEAKER: Alix Boulud-Hutkin

WHERE: ll Bel Lago – 11631 Olive Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63141
WHEN: Thursday, April 16, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
Are you intentionally shaping how others perceive your work—or letting it happen by default?
Your professional reputation is shaped not only by what you do, but by how others understand and repeat your story. Drawing on a career in human‑source intelligence and reputation enhancement, Alix Boulud-Hutkin introduces the concept of perception tradecraft—the strategic methods used by billionaires and CEOs alike to shape narratives, build credibility, and influence how others interpret information.
This session applies those principles to professional life. You will learn how to define the narrative you want associated with your work, align your communication and actions with that narrative, and position yourself intentionally with your target audience.
You will leave with practical frameworks for managing your professional reputation, strengthening credibility, and shaping how others perceive your expertise.
ABOUT ALIX BOULUD-HUTKIN
Alix is the Founder of Career Power Plays (CareerPowerPlays.org) and Villeneuve LLC (VilleneuveLLC.com), where she helps ambitious professionals level up their personal brand, turn applications into interviews, and take control of how they’re seen. By blending intelligence-style strategy with modern reputation enhancement techniques, Alix teaches people how to stand out for all the right reasons in a competitive job market.
Alix has over 15 years of combined experience in the fields of strategic communications, intelligence & investigations, and business development. In addition to Career Power Plays and Villeneuve, Alix serves as the Chief Child Development Officer to her twin toddlers–which has been, by far, her most challenging job to date as she tries her best to keep up with her exigent and demanding “tiny bosses.”
She is also deeply passionate about serving her community, and currently volunteers as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for foster children experiencing abuse or neglect.

What is an S.O.S. Circle?
An S.O.S. Circle is more than just a meeting—it’s a transformative experience where women come together to uplift and empower each other. Attendees have the opportunity to forge deep connections, dispel feelings of isolation, and emerge stronger, more resilient, and united in their journey towards personal and professional fulfillment.
For many women, celebrating successes can be challenging due to societal expectations and fear of being perceived as boastful. Likewise, sharing struggles may feel daunting as it requires vulnerability and the fear of judgment.
In a guided open forum setting, participants are invited to bravely share their triumphs and challenges, knowing that they are among a community of women who understand and empathize.
The acronym S.O.S. stands for “Share Our Successes” or “Share Our Struggles” and embodies the core purpose of the circle. This offers a safe space for women to bravely share their struggles and vulnerabilities, recognizing that doing so is not a sign of weakness but of strength and resilience.

Your First Five Moves: Building the Foundation of a High Performance Culture
2026-04-24 08:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Enterprise Bank Conference Center, 11401 Olive Blvd, Saint Louis, MO, 63141, United States
WORKSHOP EVENT: Your First Five Moves: Building the Foundation of a High Performance Culture
LOCATION: Enterprise Bank Conference Center – 11401 Olive Blvd, Saint Louis, MO 63141
Friday, April 24, 2026 – 8:00AM-12:00PM CST
If you think company culture revolves around pizza parties and gift cards, this probably isn’t your workshop.
Building a strong, engaged culture doesn’t require a massive budget, a new department, or months of planning. It requires intention and a few smart moves you can start making right away.
This interactive JAMS CultureWorks workshop, hosted in partnership with Women Empowering Women, is designed to help leaders build culture and strategy into the everyday rhythm of their organization. We focus on practical, doable actions – things you can implement the minute you walk out the door – that don’t drain your money, time, or bandwidth.
We know resources matter. That’s why this workshop is about simple, high impact moves that create momentum. When culture becomes part of how you operate (not an extra initiative) it starts to create a flywheel effect. Engagement builds. Performance improves. And over time, that cultural infrastructure helps sustain itself.
What You’ll Learn
We’ll walk through what we call The Five Moves – foundational actions that help embed culture into your organization and change the trajectory of your business:

Purpose – Clarifying and activating your “why” so it drives decisions, behavior, and engagement
People – Engaging both employees and customers (because when your people are engaged, your customers usually are too)
Performance – Thoughtful planning that leads to measuring what actually matters, and improving the customer experience
Compliance – Building it in early and intentionally, so it supports your business instead of slowing it down
Communication – Tying it all together with clear, consistent communication that keeps people connected and engaged

How This Workshop Is Different
This isn’t a sit-and-listen session. It’s hands-on and highly interactive.

Breakout groups where you apply concepts directly to your organization
Real-world examples from work we’ve done inside growing businesses
Strategies to gain buy-in from both leadership and employees
Time and space to start building your own culture framework during the workshop
A post-workshop follow-up session (six weeks later) to check progress, troubleshoot challenges, and keep momentum going (additional fee but if you sign up early, it’s included!)

Our goal is simple: to give you tools, language, and actions you can use immediately and an approach you can continue feeding over time. When culture is built intentionally and woven into everyday operations, it becomes a powerful driver of engagement, retention, and business growth.

Chesterfield Chapter Meeting - Press Pause: How Satisfied Are You, Really?
2026-04-28 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Firefly Grill, 101 Chesterfield Towne Center, Chesterfield, MO, 63005, United States
GUEST SPEAKER: Mary Pat Jacobs
TOPIC: Press Pause: How Satisfied Are You, Really?
WHERE: Firefly Grill: 101 Chesterfield Towne Center, Chesterfield, MO 63005
WHEN: Tuesday April 28, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

When was the last time you pressed pause on the chaos to check in on how satisfied you are in your life? I know, it’s hard to do because we are overwhelmed by ALL THE THINGS and some of it is out of our control, and also who has time to pause anyway???
But when we let the chaos consume us — that chaos is STRONG, am I right?! — life ends up happening to us. And gosh, it would feel a whole lot better to be at the CAUSE of our lives.
In this session, you will learn about (and get a chance to use!) a tool called the Wheel of Life. Using this tool builds your awareness of where things are going well in your life, what’s giving you energy, where you feel satisfied and fulfilled — and where things aren’t going as well, where your energy is depleted.
This fresh awareness can help you determine how much time and energy you want to spend making life work for you.

WHEN: Wednesday May 13, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

You don’t need more grit. You need joy.
Because holding it all together shouldn’t cost you yourself.
If you’ve felt stretched thin, emotionally tapped out, or like you’re holding everyone else together while quietly ignoring yourself, you may be out of the Joy Ratio.
In this energizing, deeply human session, Jenn Whitmer introduces Joyosity™—a practical, research-backed approach to leading without burning yourself out. This isn’t toxic positivity or “just be grateful.” It’s real talk about invisible loads, emotional labor, and how women actually lead when life is loud.
You’ll laugh. You’ll exhale.
And you’ll walk away with simple, doable tools to reclaim energy, connection, and clarity.
Because here’s the secret no one says out loud: success without joy isn’t sustainable.
Jenn will have copies of her bestselling, award-winning book, Joyosity, which challenges the myth that success requires self-sacrifice and shows a better way forward.

Objectives-
1. Identify the four primary listening habits and their impact on how messages are received.

Lafayette MO Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle
2026-05-19 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | The Dreamer’s Loft, 2710 Lafayette Ave, St. Louis, MO, 63104, United States
HOSTED BY: Michell Stockmann
TOPIC: S.O.S Circle
WHERE: The Dreamer’s Loft: 2710 Lafayette Ave, St. Louis MO 63104
WHEN: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
What is an S.O.S. Circle?
An S.O.S. Circle is more than just a meeting—it’s a transformative experience where women come together to uplift and empower each other. Attendees have the opportunity to forge deep connections, dispel feelings of isolation, and emerge stronger, more resilient, and united in their journey towards personal and professional fulfillment.
For many women, celebrating successes can be challenging due to societal expectations and fear of being perceived as boastful. Likewise, sharing struggles may feel daunting as it requires vulnerability and the fear of judgment.
In a guided open forum setting, participants are invited to bravely share their triumphs and challenges, knowing that they are among a community of women who understand and empathize.
The acronym S.O.S. stands for “Share Our Successes” or “Share Our Struggles” and embodies the core purpose of the circle. This offers a safe space for women to bravely share their struggles and vulnerabilities, recognizing that doing so is not a sign of weakness but of strength and resilience.

Smithton Chapter Meeting - Living with the Bond that Remains: How Love Continues Through Loss, Distance, and Change
2026-05-19 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Papa Vito’s, 101 N Main St, Smithton, IL, 62285, United States
GUEST SPEAKER: Teresa Reiniger
TOPIC: Living with the Bond that Remains: How Love Continues Through Loss, Distance, and Change
WHERE: Papa Vito’s – 101 N Main St, Smithton, IL 62285
WHEN: Tuesday May 19, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

The bond between a mother and child is one of the deepest connections we experience in this life. Yet for many women, that bond is shaped by grief in ways the world often doesn’t know how to talk about.
In this powerful and compassionate talk, Teresa Reiniger explores the many ways the mother-child bond can be affected by loss, including the death of a child, the loss of a mother, or the complicated grief of estrangement. Drawing from her work guiding women through grief and life transitions, Teresa shares how these experiences can leave women feeling disconnected from themselves, their identity, and the relationships that once defined them.
Through compassionate insight and powerful perspective shifts, Teresa invites women to see that while relationships may change, the bond of love, influence, and connection can still remain. When we learn how to honor that bond rather than silence it, healing, meaning, and renewed purpose can begin to unfold.
Attendees will leave feeling seen, empowered, and reminded that even in the presence of loss, love still has the power to guide how we live, lead, and connect with others.
Because some bonds are not meant to be broken they are meant to be carried forward with courage, compassion, and love.
Takeaways Attendees Can Expect

A deeper understanding of the mother–child bond
A new perspective on grief and identity
Insight into “The Bond that Remains”
Validation for complex and often unspoken grief
Renewed hope and empowerment,
