2024-02-29 Leading Ladies Networking Golden 50th Event

It all began with a daring dream of creating the ultimate networking experience for women, and thus, Leading Ladies Networking was born…

Now, as we stand over a decade later and 50 events strong, I am so proud of the community we’ve built. From our inaugural event at The Press Gang in bustling downtown Halifax to our most recent, triumphant 50th celebration, our journey has been nothing short of thrilling – a journey of growth, friendship, and most importantly, connections.

As we bask in the glow of this extraordinary milestone, my heart overflows with gratitude to each and every one of you who has been a part of our Leading Ladies community. In particular, I’d like to applaud all of the self-professed introverted women who conquered their biggest fears, only to discover the wealth of community waiting for them on the other side of those fears. BRAVO!

Together, we’ve shared connections, unforgettable experiences, and incredible transformations. What’s more, we’ve grown our businesses and closed big dollars!!

I just have to send a massive shout-out to Nicole Myles Brook! She’s been an absolute rockstar and an amazing friend throughout this journey. From the moment we met, to co-creating the renowned Leading Ladies Wing Woman program, Nicole’s unwavering passion, support, and hard work have been a constant source of encouragement for me. They say you should surround yourself with people who lift you up, and Nicole brings this in spades every day.
