Title: The Five AI Tools Actually Saving Me Hours Every Week

It’s true that AI can save you hours every week in your business. But sometimes the trick is to know which AI tools to use for which job. In this workshop, Dana Rozier walks you through the five AI tools she uses every week so you can see them in action. Dana will describe what each tool does and why she uses it. You’ll see how she uses them for brainstorming, research, meeting notes, creating business materials, and working faster without sacrificing her judgment. Dana will show how the tools fit together so you can see where each one belongs in a real workday.

Poppy Candid "Worth It" (Monday, November 02, 2026)

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Presented by:

Elena Neely, Designated Broker & Real Estate Advisor

Nafasi Ferrell, Trauma Informed Financial Coach & Educator

Rebecca Angel-Feuer, Financial Advisor, Edward Jones

Shopaholic. Impulse buy. Girl math. For decades, the language around women and money has painted us as emotional spenders instead of financial decision makers. Men's spending gets called an investment, a passion. Ours gets called a problem.

That language has consequences that start early. A UK study found that girls receive 20% less allowance than boys, and boys are more likely to get paid for "premium chores" like washing the car, while girls do unpaid dishes and table-clearing. Think about what that teaches a kid about what her work is worth.

Then we grow up and wonder why we second-guess ourselves. A global financial literacy study found that men outscored women in the majority of countries surveyed, but the gap isn't really about knowledge. It's about who was let into the conversation. Women earn 81 cents for every dollar men earn, save less than half as much and retire with 30% less. The reasons are built into a system of lower pay, career breaks taken for caregiving, and retirement benefits that reward long, uninterrupted, higher-earning careers. And yet, when women do invest, they tend to outperform men.

Some of you have been managing your own money, your own portfolios, maybe even other people's, for years. Some of you are just now working up the nerve to open a statement. All belong here.

Less than a century ago, women couldn't open a bank account without a husband's signature. That changed in 1974. We've come a long way, but closing the gaps won't happen by accident. So, on November 2, Poppy Candid presents "Worth It," a conversation about money with Elena Neely, Nafasi Ferrell and Rebecca Angel-Feuer, three women who help people build wealth, heal their relationship with money and actually use what they have.

Bring your questions. Bring your numbers. You're worth this conversation.

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.

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.

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.
