You've done the work and got everyone in the room. But your idea doesn't land. Worse, some have a serious allergic reaction. Most decisions don't happen in formal meetings - they happen in hallway conversations beforehand. This Mini Masterclass shows you how to get the right people on your side before the meeting even starts.

⭐ Why 'no surprises' works: When you present a fully formed solution, stakeholders resist - it feels like a mental U-turn or seems half-baked because they weren't involved.

⭐ Who actually matters: Some people can kill your project with one conversation. Learn how to quickly identify your high-power stakeholders and prioritize them first.

⭐ Discovery conversations that change outcomes: The questions to ask before you have all the answers - when stakeholders can still shape the work.

About Powrsuit

Nat and Kristen are serial entrepreneurs who co-founded an investment platform that was acquired in 2021. Post-exit, they looked at the 123-year timeline to close the gender leadership gap and thought: We're not waiting that long.

So they built Powrsuit. Today, they work with over 700 women across the Asia-Pacific region - helping them lead authentically and advance without burning out. Their philosophy? Investing in professional development shouldn't add to your burnout. Small, consistent actions beat big gestures every time.

They're based in New Zealand and love partnering with communities like Schmooze - because we're stronger together when it comes to changing the face of leadership.

"If you're not networking, you're gambling with your career."

After some years in corporate America, you've realized that you need a strong network of business relationships if you want your career to flourish.

Shelly Lombard, the founder of Schmooze, will introduce nonmembers to the Schmooze playbook: Be Strategic, Be Systematic, Be Seen.

Shelly spent 30+ years on Wall Street and then landed on 6 corporate boards. She realized that, in business, relationships can change everything.

Shelly launched Schmooze to coach people on networking & encourage them to build the business relationships they need to close the gap between where they are in their careers & where they want to be, whether that's a promotion, a career pivot, or a board role.

Maybe you're new to your industry. Or you may be just starting out in your career. Or you could be changing careers.

You can still position yourself as a thought leader in a specific area. Shelly Lombard, the founder of Schmooze, will share how she did it.

In our Schmooze intensive course, "Change Your Career & Change Your Life, executive career strategist & career change specialist Adriana Azuri explained that "mid-career pivots are almost never resets—they are repositionings. You're redeploying 15–25 years of experience in a different context."

She also explained that many pivots are "success-driven, not failure-driven. You've mastered the role so now you're under-stimulated."

These panelists will tell us how they made their pivots:

Shilpi Sharma was the Chief Strategy Officer for a major restaurant franchisor. Now she's the founder of Ashwam Co., a women’s health intelligence platform that unifies journaling, cycles, symptoms, and biomarkers into a private health system. She is also a board director & a startup investor.

Cat Cambra had what sounded like a cool job. She was the VP of Programming for a media development company, responsible for spearheading the development of programs like Bravo/Peacock's "Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition". Now she's a Strategic Account Director at Salesforce, reponsible for Enterprise Media & Entertainment clients.

Ria Aiken was a member of the Mayor's Cabinet and the first appointed Director of Emergency Preparedness and Resilience for the City of Atlanta. She's now the AVP of Technology & Security for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
