Evolve is all about creating an Authentic Community, Deeper Connections, and Confident Growth. We are a group of entrepreneurial women who connect personally and professionally. We welcome every guest to experience our authentic community with no cliques and no judgment. Come as you are! There's a seat waiting for you. Elevate is an action-oriented connection experience designed to help women entrepreneurs move beyond surface-level networking and into meaningful growth, collaboration, and courageous action. Each session centers around a focused business or personal development topic, followed by intentional breakout discussions that encourage deeper conversations, real relationship-building, and practical next steps. Unlike traditional networking events, Elevate is designed to create momentum. Women are encouraged not only to share ideas, but to actively support one another through accountability, collaboration, brainstorming, and action-based growth. Every meeting is an opportunity to build authentic connections, gain fresh perspective, and leave with a clear action step to implement before the next session. This is a space where women rise together — not through competition or hustle culture, but through encouragement, courage, consistency, and intentional community. \*\*Evolve Women's Collective is a membership based professional women's group.

Confidence Lab: Self-Awareness, the Foundation of Confidence

Confidence Lab: Self-Awareness, the Foundation of Confidence

Thu, Aug 6, 9:30 PM
From Greater Columbus Business Skills Meetup
4.8

**An honest conversation about the lifelong practice of knowing yourself, and showing up as yourself.** Over the past three months, Confidence Lab has explored a simple but powerful idea: confidence begins with seeing ourselves clearly. Self-awareness isn't something we achieve once, it's a lifelong practice. As we become more aware of our strengths, patterns, values, and blind spots, we gain the ability to make choices that are more intentional, more aligned, and more authentic. Join us as we wrap up our first quarterly theme, **Seeing Clearly**, with an engaging conversation about what it really takes to continue growing in self-awareness over time. **Description** What does it mean to know yourself? Not just in theory, but in the middle of everyday life? In this special fireside conversation, we'll sit down with community builder, storyteller, and Columbus influencer **Jeannette Burchfield** to explore her personal journey of self-awareness. Together, we'll discuss the experiences, relationships, feedback, and daily practices that have helped her become more grounded in who she is and how that ongoing work has shaped the way she lives, leads, and connects with others. This won't be a conversation about having it all figured out. It's about embracing self-awareness as an ongoing practice: learning to see ourselves honestly, staying aligned with our values, and growing through every season of life. Whether you've attended every Confidence Lab event or are joining us for the first time, you'll leave with practical insights, thoughtful reflection, and a deeper appreciation for why self-awareness is the foundation of lasting confidence. We'll also take a first look at our next quarterly theme, **Confidence in Relationship**, and explore how the work we do within ourselves shapes what becomes possible with others. **Featuring** **Jeannette Burchfield** is a Columbus-based community builder, storyteller, and social media influencer known for celebrating creativity, connection, and local culture. As the Social Media Coordinator for Opera Columbus and the creator behind Confetti Craft Club, Jeannette has built an engaged online community by encouraging people to embrace joy, express themselves authentically, and discover the vibrant experiences their city has to offer. Known for her colorful style, infectious enthusiasm, and genuine love for bringing people together, Jeannette believes confidence isn't about fitting into someone else's expectations, it's about becoming more fully yourself. Through storytelling, creativity, and community, she inspires others to live with curiosity, authenticity, and a little more confetti. [https://www.instagram.com/jeannetteyconfettii/](https://www.instagram.com/jeannetteyconfettii/) **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully, you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction, but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to live with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

How to Build a 6-Figure Real Estate Business Helping Sellers in Foreclosure

How to Build a 6-Figure Real Estate Business Helping Sellers in Foreclosure

Sat, Aug 15, 1:00 PM
From COREE Community of Real Estate Entrepreneurs
4.7

**[Note: Registering here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To reserve your seat, please register on our website, [HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-COLUMBUS-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-14-8-15-2026).]** Most investors think foreclosure opportunities begin at the auction. The truth is, by then, many of the best opportunities have already passed. The real opportunity is in **pre-foreclosure**, when homeowners still have options, investors can actually see the property before buying it, and everyone has a chance to create a solution that benefits both the seller and the investor. And that’s becoming more important than ever. As more homeowners struggle with rising housing costs and financial pressure, investors who understand pre-foreclosures will have opportunities that simply aren’t available once a property reaches the auction or becomes bank-owned. But succeeding in pre-foreclosures takes more than sending postcards or making offers. You need to understand what homeowners are experiencing, how to communicate with them, and how to structure deals that truly solve their problems. That’s exactly what Dwan & Bill Twyford will teach during this intensive two-day workshop. With more than **80 years of combined real estate investing experience**, they’ve built successful businesses by helping homeowners in pre-foreclosure while creating profitable deals through subject-to investing, short sales, creative financing, and other proven strategies. **During this two-day workshop, you’ll learn:** • How to successfully market to homeowners in pre-foreclosure • What to say when you first talk with sellers—including real-world conversation scripts • Strategies for working with sellers who have substantial equity • How to negotiate profitable short sales when little or no equity exists • Subject-To investing and other creative financing techniques • Multiple exit strategies for pre-foreclosure deals • How to build a business that consistently generates leads instead of constantly chasing them Whether you’re buying your first investment property or building a full-time investing business, you’ll leave with practical systems and strategies you can begin using immediately. 📅 **August 15–16, 2026** 📍**Attend in person in Columbus, Ohio** — Register **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-COLUMBUS-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-14-8-15-2026)** 💻 **Attend virtually from anywhere** — Register **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Online-Meeting-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-14-8-15-2026)** One of the biggest benefits of attending in person isn’t just the education—it’s the people you’ll meet. Your next lender, buyer, contractor, mentor, private lender, or business partner could be sitting in the room with you. **Express Success members attend FREE with their member coupon code.** **[Again, registering here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. Please register through our website to reserve your seat.]**
