From Proving to Chosen: Why the Most Experienced Women Still Start From Zero, and How to Stop
Building a brand that compounds instead of resetting every time you walk into a new room.

Every time you walk into a new room, a new market, a new circle, it can feel like starting over. Nobody knows you. The last fifteen years don't seem to carry. And you're back to proving you're good, proving you belong, proving your price is fair, to people who have no idea what you've already built. That isn't a sign you're behind. It's a sign you've topped out one room and you're standing at the bottom of the next.

In this session, Alana maps the climb every expert makes, from proving yourself to being the obvious choice, and shows why the most accomplished women often feel the most invisible. Then she shows the difference between a brand that resets every time you enter a new room and one that compounds, so everything you've built comes with you instead of getting left at the door. You'll leave seeing exactly where you stand on that climb, and the one move that turns real expertise into authority, freedom, and money.

The Quiet Exit: Early Retention Signals Every Woman Leader Must Spot

Client retention is the cheapest revenue in. your business., because keeping the client you have costs a fraction of what it takes to replace her. 

Clients often don't storm out, they drift. They stop replying as fast. They skip a call and don't reschedule. They go quiet. And by the time you notice something is wrong, the decision has already been made and you're just getting the notification.

The hard part is that this happens most often with clients you're serving well. You did the work. You delivered. She's still gone. That's not a service problem, it's a noticing problem, and it's fixable.

Most retention talks focus on technical customer service systems or generic satisfaction surveys. I address the real psychological and relational dynamics that happen when a client begins to pull away. I give female entrepreneurs and leaders the practical confidence, clear diagnostic signs, and exact words needed to step directly into uncomfortable conversations before revenue walks out the door. Event planners bring me in because their audiences leave with a concrete script they can implement the very next business day.

You'll leave with:

  • The three early signals of a client heading for the exit, and what each one actually means
  • A four-question check-in that surfaces problems while they're still solvable
  • Language for the re-sign conversation that doesn't feel like begging
  • A simple rhythm for staying visible to current clients without adding to your workload
  • One client you'll reach out to before you leave the room

2027 Women's Success Summit - TENX: Your Next Level Is a Multiple, Not a Step.
You've been growing your business the way everyone told you to: a little more each year, a step at a time. Sandra Yancey has a different question for you. What if your next level isn't a step up at all, but a multiple?

What you will learn in this powerful talk:

• How to expand your vision and challenge the assumptions that have been setting your ceiling
• How to raise your standards and your leadership, starting with the one standard you've been tolerating
• How to make intentional decisions about where your time and resources go, and what no longer gets them
• How to grow your reach, your revenue, your influence, and your impact on purpose, not by accident

This is not a day of inspiration you'll forget by Monday. You'll leave with a 10x number written down, one standard you're raising in 2027, the three priorities that will get your time, and the one lever you're pushing next.

Who it's for: women business owners at every stage, from the founder closing her first six figures to the CEO scaling past seven. If you've outgrown playing it safe, this room is for you.

The Women's Success Summit is a one-day, in-person experience with eWomenNetwork Founder and CEO Sandra Yancey, the woman who built the #1 business community for women entrepreneurs from her kitchen table into a global network of over 500,000 women. In 2026, eWomenNetwork made a public declaration to grow 10x in 1,000 days. In 2027, Sandra is taking the thinking behind that declaration on the road and revealing the framework she's using to get there.

Seats are limited. This event will sell out.
