The possibilities are endless when you meet and connect with the right people. After having lived on the South Shore for the past decade I’ve met so many incredible women running businesses I absolutely love to support. Danielle King at Betty’s in Mahone Bay is one of those special people.
It was over a glass of wine at her beautiful restaurant that we came up with the idea of hosting leading ladies on the South Shore for special satellite nights throughout the year. Leading Ladies Networking is my pride and joy born of a passion project but kept alive by all of you!
This special event in Mahone Bay has the same warm welcoming vibe as our downtown events with a little twist you’re in a beautiful setting 45 minutes outside of the city!
I’d like to thank all of the introverts who continue to overcome some of their biggest fears, only to discover the wealth of community waiting for them on the other side of those fears. Take Jami Sparling for example – here’s what she had to say:
HEY YOU! Did you make a fabulous new connection? Land a new client? Close a new deal? Make a new BFF? We’d love to hear about it – please share your success stories here and you could be featured in a future testimonial!
Together, we helped support NS Shelter Movers. Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse.
You can relive the magic through captivating photos, honour our sponsors and partners by supporting their businesses, and discover exciting opportunities ahead including upcoming events, programs, workshops, and chances to connect within our vibrant Leading Ladies community.
