One in three businesses in Lanark County and Leeds & Grenville is woman-owned.
And women are starting businesses at a remarkable pace. Between 2016 and 2021, the number of self-employed women grew by 24.9% in Lanark County and 20.6% in Leeds & Grenville—roughly three times the rate of growth among self-employed men.
As those businesses are growing, however, life doesn’t seem to get easier. Women run families and households along with that business. And they keep making all the decisions, solving the problems, managing the systems and appointment calendar, handling the marketing, and building relationships with clients, all while juggling other responsibilities.
SHIFT is here to change that.
The shift isn't "do more."
Diana Lidstone and Helen Harwood Snell offer clarity on what's holding your business back, what you need to stop doing, the value you've been minimizing, and the authority you've already earned. And clarity about what happens next.
SHIFT is a one-day experience for established women business owners and professionals who have built something that works—but know something needs to change.
You'll leave with three things.
Your One Focus
The single priority that earns your next level of freedom or recognition.
Your Authentic Value
The belief you're finally willing to own about the unique value you bring.
Your 90-Day Decision
Not a giant plan. A decision about what you're saying yes to and what you're ready to let go.
