A note from the Author and Host, Stephanie Bonte-Lebair

Founder of Empowered Business Networking (EBN), Award-Winning Networking Director, Networking & Voice Coach, Professional Singer & Performer

If you have ever said “I meet great people at business events, but it’s not translating into clients or financial ROI” or “I give a lot more than I seem to receive when I network,” I get it. 

It’s why I created my Empowered Business Networking (EBN) membership, which is known for focusing on building collaborative partnerships rather than non-stop sales pitches or competitive energy.  It’s also why I gathered several experts to contribute to my book “How to Build Empowered Partners to Skyrocket Your Visibility and Income” which is now also a series of powerful virtual workshops.

You see, the secret to powerful and profitable relationship building in business isn’t about giving and receiving referrals.  

It’s about creating mutually beneficial and collaborative partnerships between like-minded business owners that lead to greater visibility and income for both parties.  Here at EBN, we call these relationships Empowered Partners.

Our Empowered Partner Workshop Series! is here to help you identify and learn how to collaborate with your ideal Empowered Partners.  We want to help you collaborate with other business owners to generate more opportunities, impact, and sales in your business.   

Put another way: The Empowered Partner Workshop Series is made for creative entrepreneurs who want more opportunities to shine, but who don’t want to build their business alone.

If that sounds like you, we can’t wait to have you join us!

questions & answers

Other virtual workshop series (sometimes called virtual summits) can feel disjointed in theme, content and intentions.  This sometimes leads to cherry picking topics and a lack of perceived value.  It can also lead to overwhelm when it comes to implementing ideas and taking action.

Our speakers and topics are all working together and focused on supporting your overall marketing and networking goals. 

For creative, service-based entrepreneurs, finding the right marketing and networking strategies are your key to increasing revenue fast!

Every speaker in this series is sharing their expertise for the purpose of building strong Empowered Partnerships that lead to the same overall goal:  Networking collaboration for increased visibility and revenue.

Participating in all 11 workshops will not just add value to your networking and marketing strategy, it will help you take action.   The digital workbook will focus your efforts to identify Empowered Partner strategies that work for you, while helping you stay out of overwhelm so you can prioritize the best next steps. 

If you consider yourself a creative, service-based entrepreneur who can provide your product or service in a virtual environment or sell your product/service to clients in a wide range of locations, you are a great fit for this conference.  Coaches of all kinds, marketing professionals, and services that support small business are a great fit.

The Empowered Partner Workshop series was created for creative entrepreneurs in any stage of their business.

Whether you are just starting out and are looking to identify your best networking partnerships

Or you’re an established business owner looking to scale and engage in larger collaborations that lead to more leveraged visibility and income.  The Empowered Partner Workshop series is right for you!

EBN was created by Stephanie Bonte-Lebair, a professional singer turned networking expert.  She saw the frustration created for creative small business owners when they would connect at networking events only to struggle with turning those relationships into referrals and sales.

She created an online virtual networking membership for creative entrepreneurs (coaches, speakers, marketing and sales professionals) to create a space for connecting and partnering in a way that is fun and profitable.

Many of the entrepreneurs in this community also have backgrounds in singing, dancing, acting, writing, art, music, or other creative pursuits.  

EBN focuses on collaboration between creative entrepreneurs instead of the pressure of tracking referrals.  It’s easier and more enjoyable to work together, especially as creatives.

I'm committed to creating a networking community that focuses on our shared humanity. That means being respectful to and creating a safe environment for people of all races, nationalities, religions, abilities, disabilities, sexualities, genders, locations, and economic backgrounds. Discrimination and hate in all its forms is not welcome here.
