ELLEvating Women Entrepreneurs: 9 Women Founders, 9 Building Blocks
Discover the Building Blocks to Grow Your Women-Led Business
Discover the building blocks to help grow your business in this dynamic onboarding workshop designed to kickstart your ELLEvate journey. Whether you’re exploring a new idea or expanding an existing venture, this session will help you root your business in purpose, clarity, and confidence.
Why attend?
Inspired by nine remarkable women entrepreneurs—from Melanie Perkins (Canva) to Sophia Amoruso (Girlboss)—this workshop breaks down the foundational elements that support long-term entrepreneurial success. You’ll explore your unique strengths, lived experiences, and motivations to understand how they connect to your business vision and direction.
What you’ll learn
Vision, Money, Confidence, Networks, and Roots
Through storytelling, guided reflection, and hands-on exercises, you’ll explore the core building blocks of business:
- Vision — Define what drives you and where you want to go.
- Money — Understand how revenue, value, and sustainability fit into your model.
- Confidence — Build belief in your ideas and your entrepreneurial voice.
- Networks — Identify who supports you, who you can collaborate with, and who you can serve.
- Roots — Recognize how your identity, background, and lived experiences make your business unique.
One of the tools you’ll work with is the Business Model Canvas, which helps translate your ideas into an actionable, purpose-filled business model. This practical framework pairs well with storytelling and reflection to create an immediate plan that you can iterate on after the workshop.
Build a business that’s unapologetically yours
By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with clarity, practical insights, and a renewed sense of direction.
