Great turnout for our "Think Like A CEO" series today. Thanks Renika J. Smiley

What an incredible afternoon at the Think Like a CEO Event! ✨

I had the honor of leading a 90-minute workshop on leveraging your network, and let me tell you—it was nothing short of powerful! I designed three interactive activities where attendees partnered with new connections in the room, collaborated on ideas, and truly stepped into the power of networking with purpose.

Beyond just exchanging business cards, I helped networkers take action—following up, scheduling that long-overdue meeting, and embracing collaboration with confidence. The impact? New business leads, fresh connections, and the motivation to step boldly into new opportunities.

And for me? This event was a personal breakthrough. This season, God has me stepping out on faith, using my skills, and giving back to the community in ways I once hesitated to. I’ve always been great at celebrating others, but this time, I’m celebrating ME. Today reminded me that I am built for this.

I also made some major marketing connections that will open doors for multiple business ventures—proof that when you walk in purpose, opportunities align!

This is just the beginning! I’m ready to host more workshops, grow my brand, and pour into others through entrepreneurship, community building, and personal development.

If today’s event taught me anything, it’s this: Take the leap. Make the call. Book the meeting. Follow up. Bet on YOU.

Let’s Rise with Renika! 🚀💡
