Education Workshop - The Relationship Garden: How to Grow Connections into Champions (Thursday, November 05, 2026)

Thu, 05 Nov 2026 19:30:00 GMT

Presenter: Tracey Warren, Ignite Your Champions

Title: The Relationship Garden: How to Grow Connections into Champions

Every champion in your business started out as a complete stranger. So why do so many of our "networking" efforts stop at a hug or a handshake? In this session, Tracey shares a simple five-stage framework for turning the interactions of networking, a conference, or other gatherings into relationships that actually grow your business. You'll learn why most people quit tending a relationship right when it's about to bloom, and walk away with practical, low-lift ways to keep watering the connections that can grow into YOUR community!

Learn the 5 stages of relationship growth — Curiosity, Conversation, Connection, Community, Champions — and figure out which "pot" your current relationships are stuck in.
Identify your own Champions and build a simple, sustainable plan for tending those relationships instead of letting them go dormant after the conference ends.
Turn one-time networking conversations into long-term community with small, consistent "deposits" of attention that don't require more time, just more intention.

Rebecca Angel-Feuer, Edward Jones, Financial Advisor

Helping others has always been at the heart of who I am. After spending 20 years in education, I developed a deep understanding of what it means to support people through life’s challenges and transitions. Today, as a financial advisor, I have the privilege of continuing that work—partnering with individuals and families to help them pursue their financial goals with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re navigating a job change, facing a layoff, or simply looking to take control of your financial future, I’m here to help. I chose this profession—and Edward Jones—because I believe in making a meaningful difference in the lives of the people in my community and beyond. At Edward Jones, we take the time to understand each client’s unique story, so we can create a personalized strategy that reflects their goals and values. I live in Seattle with my husband and our four boys. I love exploring the outdoors with my family and sharing a good book with fellow readers.

Mick Hanson, Global Real Estate Advisor, Engel & Völkers Seattle Eastside

My official title is Real Estate Advisor, but I've always thought of myself as more of a problem solver. I've been helping people buy and sell real estate since 2010, and what I find most rewarding is the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. I consider it a privilege to be trusted with one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions a person can make. My passion lies in simplifying the complexities of real estate, helping people overcome challenges, find creative solutions with clarity and confidence. Ultimately, my goal is curate an experience that's straightforward, transparent, and even enjoyable, while building meaningful relationships that endure well beyond the closing table.

Speaker: Sarah Tetlow, CEO of Firm Focus, Legal Productivity Coaching & Consulting

Topic: Design The Perfectly Productive Day

A realistic framework for productive days that actually work

Designing the Perfectly Productive Day is a practical, research-informed keynote or workshop based on Sarah Tetlow’s top-selling book, The Perfectly Productive Day. The program helps professionals intentionally design a full 24-hour day (not just their work hours) by aligning habits, decisions, and routines with how the brain actually works. Participants are guided through six key categories of the day to understand how small, strategic choices compound to improve focus, energy, and decision-making. The result is a realistic, sustainable approach to productivity that replaces willpower and overwhelm with clarity, consistency, and control.

Takeaways:

A proven framework for designing a full 24-hour day that supports productivity without burnout.
Practical strategies to reduce decision fatigue and intentionally structure days for focus, energy, and follow-through.
A repeatable method for making small, high-impact changes that compound into sustainable performance.
