let's make you impossible to ignore

let's make you impossible to ignore ·

Sound familiar?

  • "I thought my hard work would speak for itself"
  • "Someone else repeated my idea and got the credit"
  • "I'll go after that big dream goal when things slow down"
  • "No one realizes how much I'm doing, including my boss"
  • "I keep getting passed over and I don't know why"

Your work can't speak for itself,so it's time you do.

So many incredible women are doing the work and waiting for someone to notice. That space between the value you create and the value people see is the Visibility Gap, and closing it has nothing to do with being louder or only posting every day. It comes down to taking control of how you show up everywhere, in the meeting, in the room, online and any place your name comes up, whether you're there or not.

That's who walks out of this Summit, a woman who is seen for her leadership and her ideas, trusted by the people around her and confident enough to finally go after the big dream she's been saving for "when things slow down."

When you get seen, everything changes

You build trust + influence

When people see your leadership and your ideas, they start trusting your judgment, and that trust turns into influence over the decisions that matter most.

You're seen as a leader

When your team's wins are visible, so is the leader behind them, and the whole organization starts to see you as someone who grows talent and gets results.

Your next move becomes possible

The promotion, the career pivot or the business you've been sketching in your notes app all start the same way, since people can only open doors for someone they can see.

You become known for something

In a world where attention is everything, being seen plants your name in people's minds, so when the right opportunity comes up you're the first person they think of.

We know what we're asking

Two days out of your life is a lot to ask for,
and that's exactly why we made it count.

We knowwww what it takes to be here. The babysitter, the out-of-office message, the inbox you'll come back to and maybe a conversation with your boss about why you need to go. We built every minute of this Summit to be worth all of it, so you walk back into your life with a clear plan, new confidence and a room full of women cheering you on.

Staying invisible costs you so much more than two days ever will.

The Get Seen Women's Leadership Summit | Oct 22-23

Some Event Highlights

Two days focused on you & your growth
The magic is the speakers

Sessions That Build a Plan

You'll learn from corporate leaders, business owners and community change makers, and that mix is very intentional. The world of work has changed so much that the best ideas for your career in leadership come from a blend of all three, and right now none of us can afford to learn from only one of them.

Every session builds on the one before it, so you leave with a plan to make your work more recognizable, starting with getting clear on the unique skills you bring to the table.

Hear from

  • Corporate leaders
  • Business owners
  • Community change makers

Oct 22 + 23 in Cleveland

Friday lunch only

Mentor Roundtables

Grab your lunch and pull up a chair at the table of the woman whose path you're most curious about. These are small, honest conversations where you can ask the questions you'd never get to raise in a big session (yes, even the ones about money and what she'd do differently).

Pick your table

  • When your career looks different than you planned

    Lessons from women in sports on finding your path when it takes a turn

  • Building a career in strategy + transformation

    Why these roles keep growing as the pace of change speeds up

  • Launching your own consulting business

    What it takes to go out on your own and land your first clients

  • Turning your passion into a business

    How to take the thing you love and make it pay

  • Motherhood, work + making it all work

    Plus how to stay resilient and profitable in a fast-changing industry

Friday, October 23 over lunch

Your people are here

Your Next New Connection

Take a good look around the room, because the woman sitting next to you could be your next advocate, the introduction to your next role or the friend you're still texting long after October 23. Every woman there chose to invest in herself too, so you're surrounded by people who get it.

We built in plenty of time to connect over breakfast, lunch and Thursday's rooftop cocktail hour, so these conversations happen naturally (no awkward name-tag shuffle required).

Who you might meet

  • Your next mentor
  • Your next advocate
  • Your next job intro
  • Your next collaborator
  • Your next new friend

Rooftop cocktail hour Thursday night

The Get Seen Women's Leadership Summit | Oct 22-23

What your ticket gets you

Spoiler alert, it's a lot
No FOMO allowed

All-Access, Both Days

Every session and every speaker on Thursday + Friday. No picking and choosing, and no wondering what you missed in the other room.

Me-work > homework

Your Summit Workbook

Think of it as homework that's finally all about you. Every session comes with its own worksheet + guide, all clipped together on your very own clipboard so your ideas stay organized and your plan walks out the door with you.

Cheers to you

Thursday Night Happy Hour

Drinks, hors d'oeuvres and the kind of conversations that turn into collaborations, referrals and a few new favorite people.

We've got the snacks

Breakfast + Lunch, Both Days

You'll be fed and fueled all day, so the only thing you need to bring is yourself (and maybe a sweater, because conference rooms are always freezing).

Treat yourself

A Curated Welcome Bag

Packed with goodies handpicked by our partners, because a woman who blocks off two days to invest in herself deserves a little something waiting for her when she gets there.

Wander + discover

Partner Vendors + Experiences

Between sessions, explore everything our partners have set up for you, from the Skin Health Education Bar to vendors you'll want to know (and maybe a little shopping, we won't tell).

All you have to do is show up, and we'll handle the rest.

Grab your seat now, before your calendar fills up first (you knowwww it will).

Our two-day line-up:

Day 1 | Thursday, October 22nd

Grounding, growth and getting seen. Day one hands you the tools to close the gap between what you know you are capable of and what the world actually sees.

  • Grab breakfast, settle in and start meeting the women you will be spending the next two days with.

  • Brittany Neish, Founder of What You Do Matters and creator of Prima Network, kicks off the Summit and sets the tone for what is ahead.

  • Workshop, Jackie Walsh, Hope Yoga

    Before you can grow, you have to get out of your own head. This guided reset clears the noise and gets you back into your body, so you can spend the next two days being where your feet are.

  • Opening Keynote, Brittany Neish, What You Do Matters

    You have the skills, the experience and the perspective. What you have not always had is people connecting that to the career you actually want. That is the visibility gap, the distance between everything you have to offer and whether anyone sees it and links it to what you are capable of doing next. This opening session names that gap and gets you fired up to chase what is on the other side of it.

  • Enjoy lunch while trading stories with fellow attendees through connection cards.

    Also happening at lunch: The Power Frame by MBRANDING Photography

    An elevated on-site portrait experience built specifically for Summit attendees. This is not a headshot booth. Each session includes posing and presence coaching, multiple looks and fully edited delivery via a private gallery link by Sunday night, so you walk into Monday with a refreshed brand presence. $50 per session, first come first served. Sign-up details go out to registered attendees one week before the Summit.

  • Panel, Becca Gordon (Stella & Shay), Lauren Romance (Vitamix), Dr. Aimee Polgar (Westside Chiropractic & Wellness), Nahomy Ortiz-Garcia (Founder of Nahomy's Library), moderated by Sandra Draganoiu-Bowler

    A career is not a solo sport. Cleveland is full of women who have built the people around them into their biggest advantage. This panel gets into why the people you surround yourself with are one of the strongest accelerators your career will ever have.

  • Fireside Chat, Sharon Harvey (Cleveland Animal Protective League) and Ashley Gowens (Vitamix), moderated by Lauren Rudman (GNCO)

    When you are tapped into your purpose and can see the impact you are making, that is what carries you forward and builds the resilience you need for the days that are inevitably hard. Two women who have built careers around service sit down for an honest conversation about how showing up for something bigger than yourself becomes one of the most powerful moves you make for your own growth.

  • Take a breather and check out what our Summit partners have brought into the room for you.

    Last chance: The Power Frame by M BRANDING Photography

    Spots are limited & will go fast. $50 gets you posing and presence coaching, multiple looks and a fully edited gallery delivered by Sunday night. Signups will open 1 week prior to registered summit attendees.

  • Workshop, Brittany Neish, What You Do Matters

    We are living in the personal brand era, and it is one of the most powerful ways to build a career you love and get seen for the brilliant person you already are. In this hands-on workshop you will pull together your skills, your experience and everything you have learned so far into a personal brand that moves you toward what is next. Expect worksheets, reflection and a clear read on the personal brand amplifiers that make you impossible to ignore.

  • Celebrate the end of a day full of learning, growing and connecting with a happy hour with fellow attendees, weather permitting, on the Aviator's gorgeous rooftop, the perfect way to unwind.

Day 2 | Friday, October 23rd

Boundaries, money, pivots, purpose. Day two is where leadership stops being a mindset and starts being a plan.

  • Reconnect with the women you met yesterday and fuel up for the final day.

  • Brittany Neish, What You Do Matters

    Yesterday gave you a lot to take in. This guided session makes sure none of it turns into a stack of notes you never open again, pulling out what matters most and getting clear on how you will use it.

  • Workshop, Lindsey Godwin + Molly McGuigan

    Women are expected to do it all, say yes to it all and make it look effortless. The cost of that pattern is real, from burnout to a growing distance from the goals that matter most to you. Lindsey and Molly share insights from their number one new release and hand you a framework for spotting the commitments you take on out of obligation, habit or the desire to please, so your time, energy and attention finally go where you want them to.

  • This is your chance to sit down with a mentor who has been exactly where you are and is ready to tell you what it took to get where she is now. One week before the Summit you will get a survey link to choose your table, so come to lunch ready to learn from someone who inspires you on your own career & leadership path.

  • Christine Millen, Bernstein Private Wealth Management

    Your money is about far more than the numbers. At its best it reflects your values and supports the life you are building on purpose. This session explores how your past experiences with money shape the way you think and decide today, walks you through a guided priorities reflection and helps you align your financial choices with what matters most to you.

  • Take a breather and check out what our Summit partners have brought into the room for you.

  • Panel, Carrie Morse (ERC) Kierra Cotton (Media Professional & Host), and Suzy Peck (Peck Baking Co.), and Mary Pat Gallagher (Advanced Aesthetics) moderated by Brittany Neish

    A pivot can look like a lot of things. Sometimes it is the moment you know deep down that what you are doing is not what you want to be doing anymore. Carrie and Suzy talk candidly about the career changes they made and the new perspectives and transferable skills those pivots gave them. You will walk away seeing your own career changes not as setbacks but as the competitive advantage they can be.

  • Closing Session, Brittany Neish, What You Do Matters

    This is where it all comes together. Getting seen means showing up as your biggest, boldest, brightest self, and that is how you build a career you love, one that lets you make the impact you want to make, live the life you want to live and use your strengths and skills in ways that matter. Brittany closes the two days by helping you turn everything you have learned into a plan you walk out the door and use.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

Questions? We've got you

The good-to-knows before you go
Can my company pay for my ticket?

So many companies leave professional development dollars on the table every year, and we'd love to help you use them!! I put together a Professional Development Request with the business case for the Summit, prompts to connect it to your role and ready-to-send email templates, whether you're asking for approval before you buy or reimbursement after.

Get the request template →
Do you offer group discounts?

Yes!! If you're bringing 3 or more people from the same company, email me at brittany@whatyoudomattersmentality.com and I'll send over your group discount code. Getting seen is even better with your team in the room.

3+ attendees from the same company
Can I only attend one day?

You can, though the ticket price stays the same whether you join us for one day or both. Every session builds on the one before it, so we highly recommend saving both days if you can make it work (Friday's mentor roundtables are worth rearranging your calendar for).

One ticket price for one or both days
Can I buy a ticket at the door?

Unfortunately no, since we're preparing your workbook, welcome bag and meals ahead of time. All tickets need to be purchased by Friday, October 16 so we can have everything ready and waiting for you when you walk in.

Ticket sales close October 16
What is your refund policy?

All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. We plan every detail of the Summit around the women who've saved their seat, from catering to workbooks to welcome bags, so we're not able to offer refunds once a ticket is purchased.

If you have any questions before you buy, email me at brittany@whatyoudomattersmentality.com and I'm happy to help you decide if the Summit is the right fit.

Still have a question? Just ask!!

Email brittany@whatyoudomattersmentality.com and I'll get back to you.
