Event description

Power Chicks Networking is a high-energy event designed to help you build a strong, supportive community of women.

This event is open to all (men too)! Come meet the Power Chicks!

After an astonishing response to Seattle’s Power Chick Networking meetings and an avalanche of requests to launch more events, I’m thrilled to announce: We’re coming to Tacoma!

Beth Buelow from Intentional Talk is our fabulous co-host. As a personal coach, writer and speaker, she brings a spirit of openness and authenticity that you'll love.

The Power Chick Networking event is for you if:

  • You want to grow your business alongside strong, spirited women
  • You long for empowering relationships rather than superficial contacts
  • You were unable to RSVP for a Seattle event because it filled too fast
  • You would love a fresh take on networking

Join us, and you’ll come away with:

  • "So much energy and wisdom!" -- Nancy Yoshida

  • "The beginning of new friendships & business relationships." -- Kirste Mitchell

  • "New possibilities." -- Sandra Jones

Attendees are saying:

“I love the closer connections I made with women, and I appreciate this more personal approach”. – Beth Buelow, communication coach

“The Power Chick meetings provide great structure to enable connections to happen. -- Kirste Mitchell, social media consultant

Together, our authentic sharing results in higher quality connections, creating fresh possibilities and an exciting Power Chick energy. And let’s face it – these meetings are a blast!

What's new to Tacoma?

Beth Buelow from Intentional Talk is our fabulous co-host. As a personal coach, writer and speaker, she brings a spirit of openness and authenticity that you'll love.

What you can expect:

1) First, we start with introductions all around

2) Then, we break into small groups with questions that help us share about our businesses, what is going well, and what we’re struggling with. This allows us to get to know one another more personally, so we can build more genuine relationships.

3) We'll wrap up our event with a few thoughts on what we're taking away with us.

Where you can expect it:

Mandolin Café is a lovely little place known for its music and convivial spirit. Please plan to bring $2 to cover the cost of our event space.

Enough said. Can't wait to see you!

    Judy, have we not been trying to get together for an entire year? Your name here makes me truly happy!

    Sheryl, I have loads of family in Puyallup; we'll have to see if we have any common connections.

    Jennifer, I've appreciated your comments on the Power Chick Facebook page; it will be great to actually meet you. : )

    Sarah, ah, yes, I wrote to you about your jewelry months and months ago. Love it!

    Lora, I like your title: profitability expert. Now that's what I call a perfect job.

    Liz, I see you're coming to the Seattle 10/14 meeting. Will be nice to meet up then as well as at this event.

    It shall be a grand get-together indeed!

    Curious - why just women?

  • Lynn Baldwin-Rhoades
    Posted by Lynn Baldwin-Rhoades, Seattle, Washington | Oct 09, 2009

    Oh - men are invited too! Power Chicks is primarily a women's thing, but guys are always welcome.

    Description of event reads: "This is event is open to all (men too)! Come meet the Power Chicks!"

    Good question; thanks for asking! : )

    Will there be a future Tacoma Power Chicks on a day other than Monday (e.g., Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday)?

  • Lynn Baldwin-Rhoades
    Posted by Lynn Baldwin-Rhoades, Seattle, Washington | Oct 19, 2009

    Tiffany, definitely look for more Power Chick meetings in Tacoma to be coming your way! Dates are not yet determined, but thanks much for your input on what works for you. : )

  • Laura L Lind
    Posted by Laura L Lind, Lakewood, Washington | Oct 19, 2009

    Any chance you would consider opening this up for more people? Tacoma events are so hard to come by. I work during the day so it would be hard for me to take off the extra time for travel.

    It is so bad of me to cancel at last minute. I've had this upper respiratory stuff for weeks. I signed up because I really thought I'd be over it by the time this event rolled around.

    I still have a cough and don't think I should be breathing on you all.

    I am so bummed. Wanted to see old friends and make new ones.

  • Nancy  Draper
    Posted by Nancy Draper, Tacoma , Washington | 4 weeks ago

    yay - - thanks for coming to Tacoma, and the Mandolin Cafe is a great venue.

    Hello, ladies!

    To those who are coming to tomorrow's event, Beth and I can't wait to see you. I'm sure we'll have a fantastic meeting; come ready to get to know one another and be inspired! : )

    If you need any info about where we're meeting, you can find it here. Word on the street is they have great food! : )

    Since our meetings are packed with good stuff, we do start right on time. So be sure to allow time to grab a bite to eat or cup o' joe if you'd like, and be good to go at noon.

    To everyone who wasn't able to get into this event - shoot! We will miss you. Do check out the next Tacoma meeting,

    A great "first" for PowerChicks-Tacoma. I feel privileged to have been there and look forward to more such opportunities, more amazing women, more amazing conversation. Thanks, Lynn and Beth!

    Posted by Maggie White, Tacoma, Washington | 4 weeks ago

    So glad I was there yesterday. As I said: I didn't go with much enthusiasm, just because that's the kind of day it was feeling like - but I certainly came away with some! I shall certainly be there again next time.

  • Sonja Torres
