Entrepreneur and Small Business

1 Sep 2025 12:40 PM | Kemi Oyebade (Administrator)

We want to thank everyone who joined us in August for Alice Gallop West’s inspiring Vision Board & Goal Setting Workshop. The event was a wonderful success — the audience was enthusiastic, participative, and left with powerful tools to help shape both personal and professional goals. We especially enjoyed hearing members share their “One Word” and watching vision boards come to life on the screen. It was a night filled with energy, creativity, and new possibilities!

Upcoming September Event 

Our September gathering will continue to build momentum as we turn our focus toward this month’s theme:  Young  Women  in  Leadership. (Details about the speaker/event will be finalized soon

— stay tuned for the announcement!)

This theme invites us to spotlight the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs, highlighting the challenges they face and the fresh, innovative perspectives they bring. Whether you’re a young professional yourself or a seasoned mentor, this discussion will help us explore

how to support, inspire, and collaborate across generations.

September Book Pick:

Why It’s Never Been a Better Time to Be a Female Entrepreneur. By Maggie McGrath (June 27, 2025) https://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemcgrath/20  25/06/27/why-its-never-been-a-better-time-to-be-   a-female-entrepreneur-plus-keep-your-focus-during-uncertain-times/

Small Business “To Do” for September

Conduct a Mid-Year Leadership Self-Check.

As fall begins, take one hour to reflect:

  • What leadership roles (big or small) have you stepped into this year?

  • Where could you delegate or mentor a younger colleague?

  • What’s one leadership skill you want to sharpen before December?

A small step today will set you up for stronger growth as the year moves forward.

We look forward to seeing you in September as we celebrate and elevate Young Women in Leadership!
