June Monthly Meeting - The Leadership Compass (Wednesday, June 17, 2026)

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:30:00 GMT

Please join us on Wednesday, June 17th from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM at the Sweetwater Branch Inn for our monthly meeting.

The Leadership Compass: Navigating with Confidence and Connection

Communication shapes our relationships with clients, colleagues, and collaborators. Yet many of our communication patterns operate on autopilot, especially when we are under pressure. In this interactive session, Stacey introduces the Leadership Compass, a practical framework rooted in emotional intelligence and insights from the Enneagram. Participants will explore how Interaction Styles influence how we pursue what we want and how Conflict Styles shape our responses when things don’t go our way.

Through discussion and reflection, attendees will gain greater awareness of their own communication tendencies and learn how to recognize and respond more effectively to different styles in others. Participants will walk away with practical tools to:

• Strengthen self-awareness and emotional intelligence

• Communicate with greater clarity and intention

• Build trust and stronger professional relationships

• Navigate differences with curiosity, compassion, and confidence

Whether leading a team, growing a business, or expanding a professional network, the Leadership Compass provides a simple and memorable way to navigate conversations and relationships with greater intention.

Stacey B. Wynn is Vice President of Talent Solutions at Right Management, where she helps individuals and teams grow with purpose, clarity, and confidence. With more than 25 years of experience in business operations, leadership, and executive coaching, Stacey brings practical insight and tools that strengthen communication, emotional intelligence, and trust—essential skills in today’s rapidly changing workplace.

She specializes in leadership development and team effectiveness using frameworks such as the iEQ9 Enneagram to deepen self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and improve team dynamics. Stacey is known for her grounded, practical approach and her ability to translate insight into real-world leadership behaviors that support collaboration, accountability, and connection.

Based in Gainesville, Florida, Stacey enjoys spending time with her daughter beekeeping, and exploring the outdoors.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

July Monthly Meeting - Audacity: The Art of Unapologetic Success (Wednesday, July 15, 2026)

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 15:30:00 GMT

Please join us on Wednesday, July 15th from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM at the Sweetwater Branch Inn for our monthly meeting.

Audacity: The Art of Unapologetic Success

Through working with numerous women across multiple businesses, Ona discovered that the number one thing holding women back is a lack of AUDACITY. Women often believe that they need more certifications, a polished website, or various other surface-level qualifiers that do not always equate to success or expansion of their mission and vision. There is a widespread narrative that you need to "appear" a certain way or have certain things in place before success can come, but it is actually when women unapologetically claim who they are right now and what they offer, that sales skyrocket and their impact multiplies.

In this presentation Ona will explore entrepreneurship and success through the lens of tapping into your larger "why" (i.e. your values, passion, and innate desire to make the world a better place) and how being unapologetically yourself and audacious in the pursuit of your desires is not only what will lead to the most material success, but will also be of the highest service to the people you're here to help with your magic — no matter what industry you're in!

You'll walk away with tangible ways to start moving with more audacity in your life and business, a new perspective on the biggest needle-movers in business, and a personalized Body Recode™ (movement + acupressure) practice that you can use daily so that you always feel like your most audacious and successful self.

Ona Sophia is a psychic advisor to entrepreneurs. She especially loves helping unconventional entrepreneurs — i.e. the weirdos, the outcasts, and the neuro-spicy women who have absolutely brilliant ideas and are ready to turn their products or services into reliable recurring revenue. As a psychic advisor and coach, Ona helps women do business their way by focusing on the energetics behind key needle-moving actions. She is especially skilled at teaching effective sales (without any pushy bro tactics), building unique business structures that are attuned to your energy, and helping you shift your energetic state to manifest more of what you want in your reality. Ona created the Body Recode™ method, a practice that combines acupressure, movement, and visualization to break lifelong patterns and step powerfully into your highest self-state of being.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
