Research-backed dossiers on confirmed key players. Follow everyone before you arrive. Like 2–3 of their recent posts. Don't DM yet.
British-born, built Boss Babe into a $20M+ community of 100,000+ female entrepreneurs. Runs "The Société" — the world's largest membership for women founders. Builds everything on Kajabi (migrated her entire platform there). Angel investor in female-owned brands. Co-founder of Gloci (a wellness brand). Mother to two daughters — Noémie Harper and Romy Grace. Recently launched "CEO Mama" community focused on the identity shift of motherhood + business leadership.
→ The Kajabi connection: "I built my entire business on Kajabi too — your story of migrating The Société over inspired me to go all-in on it. What made you finally commit to the platform?"
→ CEO Mama angle: "I love what you're building with CEO Mama. I see so many of my clients — women running businesses — struggling with that identity shift. How has motherhood changed how you lead?"
→ Podcast relaunch: "I'm relaunching my podcast and focusing on conversations with women who've built something real. I'd love to have you on to talk about what it means to build a freedom-based business from the operations side."
Natalie is your highest-value relationship in this room. She runs the community that curated this retreat. She's a Kajabi power user. She reaches 4M+ women — many of whom are exactly your target referral partner or client. Don't pitch. Instead, find the personal overlap: motherhood, wellness, building something mission-driven. She will remember the woman who saw her as a person, not a platform. The podcast invite is your strongest play — she already has the audience that would care about what MHW does.
Podcast: Progress Mode
3x NYT bestselling author (High Performance Habits, The Motivation Manifesto, The Charge). Founder & CEO of GrowthDay — the world's #1 personal development app. Early investor and advisor to Kajabi. Also invested in Circle, Community, VidApp. Runs ULTRA Masterminds with Lewis Howes ($25K–$50K events). Recently rebranded his podcast from "Motivation with Brendon Burchard" (1,000 archived episodes) to "Progress Mode" — focused on authentic conversations about real growth. Married to Denise. Passionate about health, biohacking, and wellness — lies on the floor multiple times a day to realign his back, has a deep morning journaling practice. Lives in California.
→ Wellness + business bridge: "I built a practice around the idea that how you take care of yourself determines how you perform. You talk about high performance habits — what's the one habit that changed your health the most?"
→ GrowthDay angle: "I love what you've built with GrowthDay. We're doing something parallel in the therapy and wellness space — making personal development accessible at scale. How do you think about the line between wellness content and actual therapeutic work?"
→ Progress Mode relaunch: "I saw you rebooted the podcast as Progress Mode — I'm relaunching mine too. What made you want to archive 1,000 episodes and start fresh?"
→ Scaling brick-and-mortar: "Most people in this room build online businesses. I scaled two physical practices to 80–100 clients a day. I'm curious how you'd think about taking that model digital."
Brendon is the biggest name in the room — don't chase him. He gets pitched constantly. Your edge is that you're different from everyone else he meets: you run real physical practices, serve real people every day, and bridge the gap between wellness and business. He's deeply into health and biohacking — your MindSpa experience and wellness-forward approach to therapy will genuinely interest him. Talk to him like a peer who happens to run a different kind of high-performance practice. If the conversation goes well, the podcast invite ("I'd love to have you talk about the connection between health habits and performance on my show") is the natural next step. He is also a Kajabi investor — so any future digital products you build on Kajabi are in his ecosystem.
The Boardroom is Boss Babe's most exclusive, invite-only event — approximately 10 women total, hand-selected by Natalie's team. Based on Boss Babe's audience and program tiers, expect the other attendees to be:
1. Check Boss Babe's Instagram stories the week before — they often tag attendees or tease the event roster
2. Ask Natalie's team directly — "Would love to connect with the other women before we arrive. Is there a group chat or attendee list?" (This is normal for a $10K+ event)
3. Search #TheBoardroom or #BossBabe on Instagram around April 12–14 — attendees often post about packing or being excited
4. Once you have names — Google each person, find their Instagram, read their last 10 posts, and identify one genuine thing you can reference in conversation
→ "What made you apply for this one? There are a million events — what was it about The Boardroom?"
→ "What's the one thing you're building right now that you're most excited about?"
→ "Are you in The Société too, or is this your first Boss Babe thing?"
→ "I run two wellness practices — I feel like the odd one out in online business rooms. What's your world?"
In a room of online business owners, you are the most interesting person there. You don't sell courses — you run two physical practices serving 80–100 clients a day with licensed therapists, medical providers, and a signature wellness experience (MindSpa). That's rare and fascinating to people who've never built anything offline. Lean into it. When someone asks what you do, don't try to sound like them. Sound like you.
Your Positioning — How to Show Up
Everyone in this room builds digital businesses. You built something real — two physical practices, a team of licensed providers, and 100 clients walking through your doors every single day. That makes you the most interesting founder at this table.
But don't talk like an operator. Talk like a founder who's creating a new category.
Three Rehearsable Versions of "So What Do You Do?"
Power Phrases to Drop Naturally
These aren't scripts — they're ideas to weave into real conversation. The right phrase at the right moment makes people remember you.
"We're creating a new category — luxury mental wellness"
"100 clients a day, two locations, and we're just getting started"
"I think mental health is where fitness was 15 years ago — right before it became a lifestyle brand"
"MindSpa is what happens when you design mental healthcare like a hospitality experience"
"Most people in this room build online-first. I built something physical that actually works — now I'm figuring out what the digital version looks like"
"We don't have a demand problem. We have an industry that doesn't know how to meet the moment"
What NOT to Do
The 4-Day Relationship Strategy
This isn't a conference with 500 people. It's 10 women in one room for 4 days. You will eat every meal together, do yoga together, sit through 30+ hours of workshops side by side. You don't need a networking "strategy" — you need a relationship arc.
Get the attendee list. Email Natalie's team: "I'd love to connect with the other women before we arrive — is there a group chat or attendee list?" This is standard for a high-ticket intimate event. Once you have names, look up each person, find one genuine thing to reference in conversation.
Set your intention. You're not going to close deals. You're going to build 3–5 relationships with women who will remember you 6 months from now. That's the only metric that matters.
Opening session + workshops: Contribute in the room. When a topic resonates, share a real story from your practice. Don't perform — just be the woman who runs something real and has perspective nobody else has.
Breaks: This is where real conversations start. Use the Quick Version if someone asks what you do. But focus on listening. Let them talk. Remember details.
After Day 1: DM anyone you connected with: "Really loved what you shared today about [specific thing]. So glad we're in this room together." One line. Warm. No agenda.
With Brendon: If you haven't had a real conversation yet, find a break or meal moment. Lead with the wellness/health angle — not business. He's obsessed with performance, biohacking, morning routines. Your MindSpa concept will genuinely fascinate him. (See his dossier above.)
With Natalie: She's hosting and facilitating — don't monopolize her time. But find one genuine moment to connect personally. Motherhood, the identity shift of being a founder, wellness. She'll notice the woman who treats her like a person, not a platform.
After Day 2: Same DM play. But now you can be more personal — reference an inside joke or a moment from the day.
Group dinner (6:00 PM): This is your highest-leverage moment of the entire event. Four days of context, shared experiences, and trust — and now you're at a beautiful dinner together. This is where you can casually mention the podcast relaunch: "I'm relaunching my podcast this summer. I want to have conversations like the ones we've had this week." Let that land. Don't ask anyone to be a guest — just plant the seed. They'll volunteer.
After dinner: Get a group photo. Get 1:1 photos with people you've connected with. Your EA will turn these into content gold.
Final workshops (10:30 AM – 3:00 PM): Shorter day. People start thinking about leaving. Use the last break to have your closing conversations with your top people.
The Close (before 3:00 PM): With every person you want to stay connected with, exchange real contact info — phone number, email, not just Instagram. Then say something specific: "I want to stay in your world. I'm going to send you something next week that I think you'll love." Then send the right thing (see the Send Matrix below).
The ride home: Voice-memo everything while it's fresh. Who you connected with, what they're building, what you promised to send, ideas that came up. Your EA transcribes this and it becomes your follow-up playbook.
In a room of 10 people for 4 days, everyone can sense who's performing and who's present. The women who win in these rooms aren't the loudest or the most polished — they're the ones who are genuinely interested in other people and confident enough in their own story to let it come out naturally. You built something none of them have built. You don't need to convince anyone. Just tell the truth about what you're doing and let the room come to you.
The Bigger Plays — What to Send & When
When you say "I'm going to send you something next week" — here's exactly what you send. The key: every follow-up should feel like a gift, not a pitch. These women get pitched every day. What they don't get is someone who follows through with something thoughtful and personal.

Erin runs two growing mental health practices that see 80–100 clients per day and is simultaneously building a personal brand and podcast. She needs a sharp, proactive EA who can operate as her external brain — managing the flow of communication, projects, and content so Erin can focus on vision, relationships, and leadership.
This is not a passive calendar-management role. The right person is a strategic executor who takes initiative, writes well, understands marketing, and keeps every project on track without needing to be told twice.
Inbox & Calendar Management
- Triage email inbox daily — flag urgent items, archive noise, draft responses for Erin's approval
- Manage calendar across both businesses + personal brand — schedule, reschedule, block protected time
- Prepare meeting agendas, pull relevant documents, and send pre-meeting briefs
- Send calendar reminders and ensure Erin is never double-booked
Meeting Support & Action Tracking
- Attend all key meetings (strategy sessions, vendor calls, team check-ins) and take detailed notes
- Extract action items from every meeting and assign owners + deadlines
- Follow up relentlessly — chase deliverables from team members, vendors, and contractors on Erin's behalf
- Maintain a running project tracker with status updates for Erin to review weekly
Social Media & Content
- Schedule and publish social media content across Instagram + LinkedIn (Erin provides creative direction)
- Community management — respond to DMs and comments using Erin's voice and guidelines
- Repurpose content from events, podcast episodes, meetings, and voice memos into social posts
- Track engagement metrics weekly and flag what's working
- Coordinate with marketing agency (or replacement) on content calendar and deliverables
Marketing & Communications
- Build and schedule email newsletters (draft content, Erin reviews tone and approves)
- Format and load email templates into Salesforce and other platforms
- Draft blog posts, thought-leadership content, and podcast show notes from Erin's voice memos
- Coordinate podcast production — guest outreach, scheduling, episode prep, show notes
Operations & Administration
- Organize and maintain Google Drive / shared folders / templates
- Vendor coordination — schedule calls, collect quotes, compare options, present recommendations
- Internship program coordination — outreach, application tracking, onboarding logistics
- Research tasks as needed (event logistics, hiring platforms, software tools, competitor analysis)
- Distribute team briefs and collect completed documents from staff
Project Support
- Monitor Salesforce/CRM tasks and flag items for Katie (Intake Manager) and Erin to review
- Track project timelines across the Salesforce build, website redesign, and EMR migration (InSync go-live May 18)
- Organize and distribute briefs from external consultants (like Caleigh's Salesforce and website briefs)
- Support event prep — logistics, travel coordination, contact list management
Must-Haves
- Exceptional written communication — can write in Erin's voice, draft professional emails, and create content that doesn't need heavy editing
- Social media proficiency — comfortable with Instagram, LinkedIn, content scheduling tools, and engagement strategies
- Marketing awareness — understands newsletters, email campaigns, content calendars, and basic analytics
- Proactive follow-through — doesn't wait to be asked. Sees what needs to happen next and does it.
- Organized and detail-oriented — can manage multiple projects across two businesses without dropping balls
- Comfortable in meetings — takes accurate notes, captures action items, follows up without being reminded
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience supporting a founder or CEO in a healthcare or wellness business
- Familiarity with Salesforce, CRM systems, or project management tools
- Podcast production experience (guest booking, show notes, editing coordination)
- Basic design skills (Canva, simple graphics for social posts)
- Understanding of HIPAA or healthcare compliance (not required but a bonus)
Communication
Primary: Slack or text for quick items. Email for anything formal. Weekly sync call to review priorities, open items, and upcoming deadlines.
Availability
Eastern Time zone preferred. Must be available during business hours for real-time collaboration. Flexibility for occasional evening/event support.
Erin's Style
Direct, fast-paced, high standards. Erin values people who take ownership and anticipate needs. She wants to stay involved in big decisions but hates micromanaging.
Brand Voice
Warm, confident, human. Use "offerings" not "services." Use "clients" not "patients." Lead with empowerment, not medical jargon. The EA must learn this voice.
Erin doesn't need someone to answer her phone. She needs a strategic right hand who can manage the chaos of two growing businesses, keep every project on track, write beautifully, and make her life easier — not more complicated. The right person will feel like a partner, not an assistant.
