  • CAPACITY BEFORE GROWTH | Executive Leadership Workshop

    CAPACITY BEFORE GROWTH | Executive Leadership Workshop

    Your next level requires greater capacity. Gain the clarity, alignment, and tools to lead with purpose and sustain growth. Because Your Next Level Requires More Than What Got You Here. You’ve built something. You’ve achieved success. You’ve taken on responsibility. But here’s the question: Do you have the capacity to sustain what’s next? Most leaders are conditioned to pursue more: more growth, more influence, more opportunities, more responsibility, and more success. But growth without capacity often produces exhaustion, misalignment, strained relationships, and diminishing returns. What if the next breakthrough isn’t about doing more, but becoming capable of more? Join Dr. Kenyon Godwin, chiropractor, entrepreneur, leadership strategist, and founder of The Alignment Authority™, for CAPACITY BEFORE GROWTH—an engaging, thought-provoking leadership workshop designed for executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, and emerging leaders who are ready to redefine their standard. Identify what truly matters, recognize competing priorities, and establish the standards necessary to lead with greater intention. Examine the relationship between your purpose, priorities, decisions, and daily execution. Discover where misalignment may be limiting your effectiveness. Understand the physical, mental, relational, and organizational demands of leadership. Identify practical ways to increase your ability to execute, influence, and sustain growth. Greater clarity about your next season of leadership. An understanding of the capacity gaps limiting your growth. A practical framework for aligning your decisions, energy, and resources.

  • Women Unlimited Presents: Understanding Entrepreneur’s Insurance Benefits

    Women Unlimited Presents: Understanding Entrepreneur’s Insurance Benefits

    Join us in person for class four of Women Unlimited’s Business Support Series & learn how to leverage insurance benefits as an entrepreneur. Building a business is about more than increasing revenue. It’s also about protecting what you’re building, the people who depend on you, and your future. Join Women Unlimited for Class Four of The Business Support Series with Kayla Holloway, a hands-on, workbook-based workshop designed to help entrepreneurs take a closer look at the protection they currently have—and identify areas that may need attention. Instead of simply listening to a presentation, you’ll work through your own personalized protection checklist, auditing key areas of your personal and business life and identifying questions, gaps, and next steps to investigate. You’ll build your own Entrepreneur’s Insurance & Protection Checklist during the workshop, giving you a clearer picture of what you already have in place and what you may need to investigate further. This session is designed to help you ask better questions, understand the different areas that can affect your financial and business security, and become more intentional about protecting what you’re working to build. Don’t wait until something happens to find out where the gaps are. Plan today, protect what you’ve built, and prepare for what comes next.
