Welcome to Diamond Growth Journey

Connection and Collaboration

You told us: "I want stronger relationships, referrals, partnerships, and community."

You're in the right place.

One meaningful connection can change everything.

Whether you're looking for referral partners, genuine friendships, accountability partners, collaboration opportunities, or simply a community of women who "get it," this path is all about building relationships that extend beyond a single meeting.

The strongest businesses aren't built alone. They're built through trust, generosity, and showing up for one another over time.

For the next 90 days, challenge yourself to say "yes" to more conversations, more introductions, and more opportunities to connect.

Your 90-Day Success Plan

💎 Diamond Tip: Relationships don't grow because we collect business cards.

They grow because we consistently show up, stay curious, follow through, and genuinely invest in one another.

This month, challenge yourself to schedule one Connect, attend one new Diamond event, and follow up with someone you've recently met. Small actions create lasting relationships.

⭐ Your First Three Stops

These experiences are designed to help you build authentic relationships, expand your network, and create meaningful collaborations throughout the Diamond community.

  • Diamond Business Connect - 4th Wednesday, 9am Pacific | 10am Mountain | 11am Central | 12pm Eastern

    If relationship-building is your goal, this is one of the best places to start. Similar to a local chapter meeting, Business Connect gives you the opportunity to meet members from across the Diamond community, share about your business, celebrate one another, and build genuine relationships that often lead to referrals and collaborations.

  • Diamond Speed Connect + Open House - 5th Wednesday, 9am Pacific | 10am Mountain | 11am Central | 12pm Eastern | 5pm GMT

    Want to meet more members in less time? Speed Connect is a fun, low-pressure way to introduce yourself, discover shared interests, and spark conversations that can grow into lasting relationships.

  • Diamonds after Dark - 3rd Thursday, 5pm Pacific | 6pm Mountain | 7pm Central | 8pm Eastern

    Sometimes the strongest relationships are built outside of business conversations. Diamonds After Dark is a relaxed social gathering where you can laugh, connect, and simply enjoy spending time with your Diamond Sisters.

🌱 Build Momentum

Once you've started making connections, these experiences help you deepen those relationships and turn conversations into meaningful collaborations.

  • Identity-Based Goal Setting - 1st Monday, 10am Pacific | 11am Mountain | 12pm Central | 1pm Eastern
    Building relationships with intention starts by knowing what you're looking for. This monthly session helps you set meaningful networking and collaboration goals that align with your bigger vision.

  • Large Group Mastermind - 2nd Friday, 8am Pacific | 9am Mountain | 10am Central | 11am Eastern

    One of the fastest ways to build trust is by showing up for others. During our mastermind sessions you'll have opportunities to both receive support and offer your own insights, creating stronger relationships through shared problem-solving and encouragement.

  • Hype Monday - 2nd Monday, 10am Pacific | 11am Mountain | 12pm Central | 1pm Eastern

    Celebrate wins together, encourage one another, and begin each week surrounded by women who genuinely want to see you succeed. Community grows when we celebrate each other's progress.

  • Follow-Through Forum - 3rd Wednesday, 10:30am Pacific | 11:30am Mountain | 12:30pm Central | 1:30pm Eastern

    Great conversations are just the beginning. This forum helps you follow through on introductions, collaborations, referrals, and commitments so your relationships continue to grow long after the initial connection.

🌟 Additional Support

These experiences complement your visibility journey by helping you stay accountable, build relationships, and keep showing up consistently.

  • Feedback Friday - 4th Friday, 11am Pacific | 12pm Mountain | 1pm Central | 2pm Eastern

    Giving and receiving thoughtful feedback creates trust. Bring a project you're working on, support fellow members, and strengthen relationships through meaningful conversations.

  • Creative Playground - 2nd Wednesday , 11:30am Pacific | 12:30pm Mountain | 1:30pm Central | 2:30pm Eastern

    Creativity often flourishes in community. This playful space encourages collaboration, idea-sharing, and fresh perspectives while connecting with fellow members in a relaxed environment.

  • Shannon's Quarterly Masterclass - July 20th-1:00 pm CST and October 21st-3:00 pm CST

    Learn alongside your Diamond Sisters while gaining fresh insights and inspiration from Shannon. Shared learning experiences often become the foundation for meaningful conversations and new connections.

REMEMBER:

Every Diamond member joined for a reason.

Some are looking for community.

Some are searching for collaboration.

Some simply need someone who understands the journey they're on.

You never know which conversation could lead to your next referral, your next business partner, your next best friend, or the opportunity you've been waiting for.

So keep reaching out.

Keep showing up.

Keep saying yes to connection.

Because around here, relationships always come before transactions.
