A Network of Women Building What's Next

HER in Focus is built for the mid-career professional ready to own the room, and the founder who needs someone who's already been there.

Our Mission

We are the room you walk into when the work gets serious. Not a directory. Not a course. The people who've already been where you're going and will look you in the eye and say, go

Who We’re For

Two Kinds of Women. One Room

(01)

The Professional

For the mid-career woman ready to move up, not just show up. You've done the work. Now you need the room, the relationships, and the next opportunity to match it.

(02)

The Founder

For the woman building her own business and done doing it alone. You need peers who understand the version of hard you're living, and who'll tell you the truth about it.

How to Join

Two Ways In

Events

The Events Are The Front Door

Beautifully run gatherings built for real conversation, not surface-level networking. Every format chosen because it works - dinners, summits, workshops, and experiences designed to put the right women in the same room.

Membership

The Membership Is The Room

The event is the introduction. The membership is everything after - the referrals, the real conversations, access to resources, the women who become part of how you build. HER In Focus keeps going long after the event ends.

Don't Take Our Word For It

Every event I've attended has left me feeling more inspired and connected. It's hard to find a community of women who are so open about both the wins and the challenges of leadership. Thank you, Nicole, for curating such an incredible group of women and creating a space that truly uplifts and empowers us.

I have been a part of HER In Focus for two years, and the connections and professional relationships I have made are unparalleled. Each event is a testament to their commitment to excellence, meticulously planned and executed with the utmost attention to detail. These gatherings are not only enjoyable but also profoundly enriching, tailored to inspire, HER In Focus and support us in our career journeys.

What makes HER In Focus so special is how holistic it is. The events go far beyond dinners and networking: from mental health workshops to public speaking sessions, yoga classes, and skill-building events that help us grow not just as professionals, but as humans. I've learned so much by just showing up.

You could feel the intention behind every detail. This wasn't a room of women invited because of the brands they work for or the logos they represent. Nicole knew every single woman she brought into that space and more importantly, she understood the value, impact, and perspective each person brings. That kind of intentionality is rare. To feel seen as a human, as a woman, and as someone growing in the e-com space is something I'll be carrying with me for the rest of the year.

There was very little concern about who might be considered a competitor. Instead, there was genuine curiosity, thoughtful questions, and an openness to share what had worked, what hadn't, and what we'd all do differently next time. That doesn't happen by accident.

The right women are already inside

Sharing wins. Making moves. Building what's next. Whether you're ready to join the conversation or lead it in your city, there's a room for you.
