Welcome to the Long Beach/North Orange County Chapter of Polka Dot Powerhouse.
I decided to start a Polka Dot Powerhouse chapter, as I believe so strongly that people do business with people they like, and I wanted to create a forum to bring together professional women in and around Long Beach and Orange County.
Polka Dot (it's for women only) Powerhouse (is what we are when we band together) "connects the most positive, most action-forward, most amazing can-do women. We connect them to network together. We connect them to do business together. We connect them to encourage and push each other to the next level in all aspects of life. We connect them to build lifelong friendships and business relationships.
This does not mean you need to be a business owner or entrepreneur to be part of our group. Most of our members joined us to both develop their professional side/business, but also to simply form new friendships and relationships with women. Many of us are at different stages in our lives than say 10-15 years ago, and may have different interests and want to find common ground with women outside of our immediate circle of friends. Polka Dot Powerhouse is perfect for both aspects.
Clearly, with 40-60-100+ women who do business together, there is huge "shop local" development happening, which we love. Not only is this word-of-mouth advertising amped up, but it also helps the community tremendously. Your business will grow as a result of being part of our group, and you will help the other members' businesses grow too. In turn, they will learn from your wisdom and expertise as well.
There is so much more to us than I can describe here. Please take a leap of faith and come join us at one of our monthly meetings. These center around a growth based agenda - with introductions, collaborations, celebrations, inspiration, a speaker, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the other guests and members.
