Your Business Isn’t Invisible. You Are.

Tuesday, May 12, 2026
In-Person and Virtual

Join us for our May WeRISE Workshop, Your Business Isn’t Invisible. You Are. with Sara Madsen Miller, Chief Operating Officer of 1820 Productions.

Entrepreneurs do not build businesses alone. They build them through relationships.

In this high-impact workshop, Sara Madsen Miller shares a practical and human approach to networking that goes beyond business cards and small talk. Drawing from her journey from corporate leadership to creative entrepreneurship, she breaks down how to position yourself clearly, build authentic connections, and turn conversations into long-term opportunities.

Participants will leave with a repeatable strategy, tangible scripts, and a clear follow-up system they can implement immediately.

Key takeaways:

Craft a compelling 30-second positioning statement
Enter a room with intention instead of anxiety
Build trust without sounding transactional
Create a follow-up system that compounds over time
Turn relationships into revenue without losing authenticity
