CONQUERING THE COMPETENCE COMPLEX

THE HYATT REGENCY LAKE TAHOE - INCLINE, NV | OCTOBER 23, 2024

In October 2024, a powerhouse group of women gathered at the stunning Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe for a transformative workshop focused on one of the most critical drivers of career growth: relationships. This immersive, high-energy experience was more than a networking session — it was a bold step into the future of professional empowerment.

Designed specifically for women ready to elevate their careers, the workshop centered on intentional, strategic, and authentic relationship-building — because we know doors to the next promotion or big sale don’t open by luck. They open through courage-fueled connections.

A standout moment of the day was hearing from guest speaker Reagan Cannon, an international leadership coach and former Fortune 15 executive with more than two decades of experience at companies like Amazon and AT&T. Drawing from her journey from entry-level to executive by age 33, Reagan shared candid insights and tangible strategies for owning your voice and stepping into leadership with confidence.

Participants explored Relational Courage, a compelling framework that challenged limiting societal beliefs and reframed how women show up and engage in professional spaces. This wasn’t just theory — it was real-world, actionable insight delivered with heart, humor, and hard truths.

What attendees walked away with:

A deeper awareness of how societal narratives impact confidence and perceived value — and how to reclaim both.
A fresh perspective on Relational Courage as a tool for daily growth, deeper self-belief, and stronger workplace influence.
Five proven strategies for maximizing the value of professional relationships — strategies that sparked immediate results.
Practical networking tips that transformed even the most hesitant participants into intentional connectors.

The room was electric — full of breakthroughs, bold conversations, and a fierce sense of possibility. If you missed this one, trust us — you’re going to want to mark your calendar for the next.

Relational Courage was just the beginning.
