Women in CPG Coffee Chat: Rest as a Strategy

Women in CPG Coffee Chat: Rest as a Strategy
Friday, August 21st
8:00 – 8:50 am MT
Virtual

Join us for our August Women in CPG Coffee Chat, a facilitated virtual gathering designed to slow down for a moment before the pace of fall picks back up.

This month’s theme is something that sounds simple but rarely is: rest.

In fast-moving industries built on passion and momentum, slowing down can feel counterintuitive — even irresponsible. There’s always more to do, more to build, more to prove. And yet the women who sustain meaningful careers over time tend to be the ones who figured out how to protect their energy, not just spend it.

August is a good month to get honest about that.

We’ll explore questions like:

• What has actually energized you this summer — and what’s drained you?
• What does rest look like for you in practice, not just in theory?
• What are you intentionally bringing into fall, and what are you leaving behind?

Through guided prompts and small breakout groups of 3–4, you’ll have space to reflect and hear from others who are navigating the same tension between keeping up and stepping back.

This is not a webinar or panel. Think of it as a focused Friday morning coffee with peers where conversation flows both ways and everyone participates.

We’ll continue the optional Resource Exchange (“offers + asks”), creating space for warm introductions, referrals, hiring support, vendor recommendations, and other ways to support one another beyond the conversation.

Whether you’re building a brand, advising clients, leading a team, or figuring out what’s next, you’re welcome here.

Come as you are, coffee in hand.
