Upcoming Events

Join BPW Calgary as we kick off our club year by welcoming Leslie Davies, a fun, friendly and creative Image Consultant who shows women how to search out and strut their savvy style one closet at a time.

Leslie will speak about the importance of a personal brand and how to be authentic with it, upcoming fall trends and how to dress to flatter various body shapes. She’ll also provide us with tips and tricks on how to jazz up our current wardrobe without breaking the bank.

An internationally certified Image Consultant for over 10 years, Leslie is a successful speaker and style coach working with nearly naked women in closets and dressing rooms across the continent – and founder of The Stylish Insider and IMPACT Image Essentials Group Inc. We can’t wait to welcome her!

The evening kicks off at 5:30, so plan to arrive then to network with like-minded women from diverse industries! BPW is excited to continue supporting Servants Anonymous, our community partner, by meeting at Venu1008.

Before the club meeting begins, our Mentorship Chair Yvonne Silver will be hosting a workshop on Authentic Leadership as part of our WisdomBoost 2016 Mentorship program. Mentors, proteges, BPW members and the general public are encouraged to attend. Tickets are $20 for those not part of the WisdomBoost mentorship program. The workshop runs from 3 PM to 5 PM at Venu1008.

RSVP today! 

Prior to our dinner meeting on September 14, you’re invited to attend a mini-workshop to explore Authentic Leadership for Women, beginning at 3 PM.

Author Sheryl Sandberg (Facebook COO) states in her well-known book “Lean In“ that women often hold themselves back, may fall victim to stereotyping, or end up being disliked when we display male leadership tendencies. Catalyst (with over 50 years of research data on women in the workplace) reports that women develop women at a faster rate than men develop women (73% vs. 30%), so our imperative to increase the number of effective women leaders is significant.

Join BPW Calgary’s Mentorship Chair and Executive Coach Yvonne E.L. Silver to learn more on:

• Feminine leadership – the differences & opportunities
• Your personal Authenticity Awareness level
• How to lead your team to high octane results.

Wisdom Boost 2016 is BPW Calgary’s Mentorship Program, however, guests may attend this mini-workshop for a nominal fee of just $20.

RSVP here!

We are excited to welcome Iris Trigg, certified Feng Shui practitioner, to our June dinner. Join us at our last dinner of the club season on Wednesday, June 8 and discover the traditional techniques of the Feng Shui lifestyle.

We are very excited to welcome our keynote speaker, Kenna Burima, to our April dinner meeting. As a songwriter, vocalist and keyboardist Kenna lives and breathes music. Her musical projects illustrate the diversity of her artistic process and her current solo project features an amalgamation of all that she does; classical, rock, cabaret, jazz, folk, garage, and metal.

Kenna became obsessed with playing the piano at an early age and her love of the music of dead, European men; Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and Chopin continues to the present. After high school, Kenna moved to Calgary to pursue an artist diploma in piano from the Mount Royal Conservatory and later a degree in music from the University of Calgary. Years later, she continues to split her time between learning Beethoven sonatas and transcribing Black Sabbath for piano.

We can’t wait to hear Kenna speak to our members about her musical experiences!

We’re also pleased that Young BPW Calgary will be hosting their annual book club at the April dinner meeting. This year’s book is Daring Greatly by Dr. Brené Brown. Brown is a researcher and thought leader who offers a powerful new vision that encourages us to dare greatly, to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our lives. The book will be discussed over dinner.
