Welcome & Connection
This is your time to settle in, meet your fellow Ripple Makers, and get ready for a day that's going to move your biz forward.
10:00 am
Running a business solo or leading a team can feel like shouting into the void some days. You’re juggling decisions, dealing with self-doubt, and wondering if everyone else has it figured out.
The truth? You’re not the only one. Loneliness is one of the biggest (and least talked about) challenges in biz, but it doesn’t have to run the show.
This workshop is about grounding yourself in your values and learning practical self-leadership tools that keep you steady when external validation feels scarce. It’s also about connecting with other women who get it, because building a biz shouldn’t feel like a solo sport.
Practical ways to apply your values so they anchor you during tough decisions and moments of doubt.
A self-leadership toolkit to boost your confidence, reduce second-guessing, and make decisions without overthinking.
Practical strategies to manage comparison and set healthy boundaries.
Simple ways to build meaningful connections
A clear next step you can take right away to feel less alone and more aligned in your business.

The Creative & Strategic Reset Lab
Feeling stuck in the same business patterns? Doing the same things over and over, getting the same results, and wondering how to shake things up without losing what's already working?
Sometimes the best biz breakthroughs come from stepping completely outside your usual thinking. This workshop is about creative cross-pollination - getting fresh eyes on your challenges and sparking ideas you'd never come up with on your own.
You'll walk away with:
Fresh perspectives on your biggest biz challenges from people who think differently than you do
A collection of unexpected ideas and approaches you can actually test in your business
Creative and strategic frameworks for evaluating which ideas are worth pursuing
Practical micro-experiments you can try without major risk or investment
New connections with other entrepreneurs who can be ongoing brainstorming partners
A clear plan for one specific experiment you'll implement in the next two weeks
Because sometimes the breakthrough you need is hiding in someone else's completely different way of thinking, and the best strategy combines creative possibility with practical action.
3:00 pm

Hey, I'm Janic (Zsa-Nick) ...
Your Host and Facilitator
I'm on a mission to help solo business owners and entrepreneurs ditch the overwhelm and lead their businesses with confidence (without the constant chaos and burnout).
As your mentor in kick-ass leadership, I'm here to help you own your role as the leader your biz needs. Think of me as your strategic partner, your permission-giver, and the voice reminding you that you've totally got this... even on the days when it doesn't feel like it.
With 25 years of leadership experience, mostly without the fancy titles or corporate structure, I've figured out what actually works when you're the one wearing all the hats.
Let me save you years of trial and error!
Janic 💜
