The Premier Networking Membership for Creatives turned Entrepreneurs who want to build stronger, more collaborative and more profitable networking partnerships


Where coaches, artists, performers, marketers and storytellers become Empowered Partners® — gaining visibility, speaking gigs, and clients without the overwhelm of traditional networking.

You know building the right relationships is key to your coaching, marketing or creative sales business… but let’s be honest—most networking feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

Instead of....

When you join EBN, you receive....

  • Getting dropped into random Zoom rooms with people who aren't a fit

  • Wading through messy, chaotic chat threads with dozens of names and no context

  • Feeling like a target for pitches - in the room and in your inbox

  • Over-giving without seeing real return or referrals

  • Blending into a grid of faces and never getting a chance to shine

  • Curated breakout rooms and introductions to ideal connections

  • A fully-organized, detailed attendee list for powerful event follow-up

  • Mini-trainings to turn conversations into collaborations that generate income

  • Expert-guided follow-up sessions to help you build strategic partnerships based on your business goals

  • Featured speaking opportunities to share your genius and stand out

EBN isn't just another networking group - it's your launchpad for strategic partnerships and visibility. We connect you with Empowered Partners® who complement your services, amplify your message, and help you grow through collaboration - not cold pitches.

Each month, you'll plug into two high-impact gatherings designed to spark authentic connection, deepen collaboration, and accelerate your visibility

How is EBN different?

We are about finding and building Empowered Partnerships - not simply chasing leads.

--No pitching or selling. You’ll never be randomly “sold to.” Instead, we help you connect with Empowered Partners™—business owners who serve a similar audience, complement your offerings, and want to collaborate.

--Curated breakout rooms. Our events include consciously matched small-group breakouts that align with your goals and ideal connection types—no more awkward or random rooms.

--Built-in follow-up opportunities. Before the meeting ends, you’ll be invited to book aligned follow-up calls.

→ 95% of our attendees report 2+ follow-up calls, and 40% report 4 or more!

--Action instead of overwhelm. We host a 60-minute implementation session the next day to help you take action on the connections and ideas from the event.

--Strategic collaboration over sales chasing. Instead of hunting for individual prospects, you’ll be supported in forming creative, revenue-generating partnerships.

I am busy and network in other places. Why should I consider EBN?

Totally get it—many of our members are active in multiple groups and have busy schedules!

That's why EBN was created. EBN helps you network smarter, not harder.

When you learn how to create strategic, Empowered Partnerships, it elevates every other room you walk into. Our members often see more results—referrals, collaborations, and clients—not just here, but across all their networking efforts.

With just 2 meetings the first full week of every month, you can fill your entire follow up schedule for the month. We consistently bring in 15+ fresh, aligned connections each month. No need to attend lots of meeting throughout the month unless you really want to network in other groups too.

This group was created to help creative entrepreneurs like you maximize results without spending hours chasing leads across multiple networking groups. With EBN, you get high-quality, curated connections—all in one place.

FAQ image

What if I'm new to networking or going through a major business shift?

Perfect timing. Seriously.

Whether you’re new to networking, pivoting your niche, or rebuilding your business—this is the kind of group I wish I’d found earlier in my journey. When I transitioned from being a singing teacher to a networking coach, it would have saved me so much time, trial, and guesswork.

Here’s why now is the ideal time to join EBN:

--You’ll learn how to build Empowered Partnerships from the start—skipping years of transactional networking that doesn’t work.

--You’ll focus on visibility strategies that actually generate momentum, even if you’re still clarifying your offers.

--You won’t have to unlearn bad habits or force connections that don’t feel aligned.

--And if you’re in a big business transition, you’re not alone. Many of our members joined during a pivot or growth phase—and found clarity, collaboration, and cash flow faster through the relationships they built here.

If you’re craving connection, visibility, fresh ideas, or thoughtful feedback on your message or offer—you’re exactly who we want in the room.

a letter from stephanie

When I was a singing teacher with a full studio of 40+ students, burning the candle at both ends, and struggling to spend time with my family, the last thing I wanted was one more client. 

I didn’t even know what business networking was all about. Then, a friend took me to a business networking event, and my business would never be the same again.

I used business networking to explore new business ideas so I could earn more with less effort and explore new offers and collaborations. It turns out that I was naturally gifted at networking and because of my performing background, I was also an expert at helping business owners leverage their voice inside networking events to build their business faster.

After running other people’s networking events for several years, I finally found the courage to create my own. Empowered Business Networking is the community I always wanted – one that is ideal for the creative, heart-centered entrepreneur.   We focus on collaboration rather than pitching and competition energy.

If you have met lots of great people at networking events, but wish you were able to translate that into more clients, you are in the right place!  Our goal is to help create more visibility, speaking engagements and aligned collaborations that lead to more clients.

I hope you’ll join us at an upcoming event.
