The POWER of HER
Give & Gain

A Seat at the Table for Collective Leadership

Wed March 11 from 5 to 7 PM EST.

Connie Cay-Santos, CEO and Founder of CAY VII INC and HER Seat at the Table, alongside Courtney Stanley of Women to Watch, featured speakers for the Give & Gain International Women’s Day virtual event.

An immersive International Women’s Day virtual experience by HER Seat at the Table in collaboration with Women to Watch, designed for those ready to give generously, gain perspective, and engage in real conversations that spark connection, reflection, and forward momentum.

This two-hour online gathering brings together community members, friends, and allies for intentional networking, bite-sized leadership spotlights, and interactive partner-led experiences that invite participation, not passive listening.

Together, we create space to exchange insight, elevate voices, and move from conversation to action one connection at a time.

Give & Take Experience Flow

Distinct Themes | Meaningful Conversations | Intentional Ways to Connect

Theme 1: Giving Voice

What it means to be seen, heard, and valued

This opening spotlight focuses on voice, visibility, and confidence. Together, we explore how leaders give voice to their ideas, their values, and to others – especially in spaces where voices have historically been minimized.

Takeaway: Greater clarity on how you show up, speak up, and create space for others to do the same.

Theme 2: Taking Space

Redefining leadership, boundaries, and belonging

This segment explores what it means to take up space without apology. From leadership presence to personal boundaries, this conversation invites participants to reflect on where they are shrinking, stretching, or stepping fully into their leadership.

Takeaway: Practical reflection and check list on how and where you need to claim space in your personal or professional life.

Theme 3: Giving Support

The Gift of Certainty: Building Wealth Without the Guesswork

What if the most powerful thing you could give yourself was not more motivation, but certainty?

This session challenges the belief that financial success is built on discipline and hope alone. Drawing from pop culture, real-world examples, and practical frameworks, we explore why certainty, not hustle, is the true wealth-building edge.

Support is not only emotional. It is structural. It is strategic. It is financial.

Through intentional systems and contractual thinking, participants will discover how to build wealth that grows quietly in the background — accessible, protected, and compounding.

When we give ourselves clarity and structure, we gain confidence, control, and long-term stability.

Takeaway: A practical framework to shift from reactive financial habits to engineered wealth-building rooted in intention and certainty.

Theme 4: Taking Action

From insight to impact

We close with a forward-looking conversation focused on action. This segment connects reflection to momentum, inviting participants to identify one insight, commitment, or action they will carry forward beyond International Women’s Day.

Takeaway: A grounded sense of next steps and shared accountability within the community.
