Mastermind Momentum – May 8th

Focused 3–5 minute hot-seat moments for each participant
Collective brainstorming, insight sharing, and tangible next steps
A grounding in the five VV leadership tenets that keep us aligned and moving forward with purpose

Come as you are and bring your bold.
Smart Fundraising Strategies: Say Goodbye to Cold Outreach & Learn How to Fundraise the Smart Way – May 14th
Fundraising often comes with two major hurdles: How do you connect with the right investors without a strong network? And how do you create a credible financial model that passes due diligence?
In this webinar led by Victoria Yampolsky, we’ll tackle both challenges head-on so you can:
1. Identify and target the right investors, plus strategies for securing warm introductions
2. Craft the perfect intro email to investors and increase your chances of securing a second meeting
3. Build a financial forecast that supports your story and strengthens your credibility
Join us to "learn the fundraising ropes" from a top startup CFO that will save you time and boost your chances of securing the capital you need to grow.
Wellness for Warriors – May 22nd
Doshas & Leadership — Ancient Archetypes, Modern Power
Essence:
Help participants explore how their natural energetic blueprint (their Dosha) influences their leadership style, work patterns, strengths, and stress responses — without labels or judgment.
In this session, led by Faida Fuller, we’ll explore how your natural energetic design influences the way you lead, create, and move through the world.
We’re not here to fit you into a box.
We’re here to help you remember the unique rhythm and power that’s always been yours.
Through the wisdom of Ayurveda, we’ll uncover the ancient archetypes (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and discover how honoring your nature can fuel not just what you do—but how you thrive while doing it.
Ask Alyse Anything – May 29th
Join us for Ask Alyse Anything, a special Live on The Hub session with Alyse Nelson, President & CEO of Vital Voices.
This is more than a Q&A — it’s a space for real conversation, hearing what’s on your mind, and responding to your questions — whether they’re about our mission, programs, or vision for the future.
We also want to hear your ideas — for how we grow, what we build together, and how Vital Voices can best support you and your work.
Come with your curiosity, bold questions, and hopes for what’s next. We can’t wait to see you there.
