You care not just about what you’re building\, but how you’re building it and who you’re in the room with along the way. \nConnect + Elevate is Nova’s new signature monthly gathering in Schaumburg\, created for women and non-binary seasoned professionals who want meaningful connection\, thoughtful conversation\, and growth that actually feels aligned with their lives. Not just more contacts but people who understand why your values matter as much as your vision. \nThis isn’t about filling a calendar or working a room. It’s about spending your time with people who make you think differently\, feel more like yourself\, and leave you feeling more seen than when you arrived. \nTHE EXPERIENCE\nCONNECTWe begin with guided connection around our theme of the month — not icebreakers\, but intentional dialogue that moves purposefully into real conversation. The structure is designed to help you meet people you are so excited to know\, without forcing performance or small talk. \nYou’ll leave this portion with a sense of who’s in the room and who you want to continue the conversation with outside the room. \nELEVATEIn the second half\, a Nova member leads a short\, live workshop rooted in lived experience.

SUMMARY:NW Chicagoland Nova Catalyst Circles
DESCRIPTION:Curated Circles for Women and Non-Binary Professionals Creating with Intention\n\n\nCATALYST CIRCLESCurated Circles for Women and Non-Binary Professionals Creating with IntentionNW Chicagoland | Last Tuesday of every month @ Dayhouse Schaumburg | 6:30 to 8pm \nHave you been carrying something you haven’t been able to fully put into words yet? \nA decision you keep circling back to. An idea that won’t leave you alone. A tension you’ve been holding quietly because you haven’t found the right room to bring it into. \nThat’s exactly what Catalyst Circles are for. \nThis isn’t a workshop or a coaching session. It’s a facilitated gathering where you break into small intentional groups of 3 to 4 people and bring what’s actually alive for you right now. The room helps you see it more clearly. \nYou don’t need a polished idea or a clear ask. You just need a willingness to think out loud with people who actually get it. \nWhat gets brought into Catalyst Circles: \n\nA decision you’re navigating but haven’t fully landed on\nAn idea you’re still testing and want to think through out loud\nA tension you’ve been holding that needs to move through conversation\nSomething you’ve been carrying alone that you’re ready to put on the table\n\nWhat happens in the room: \nWe break into small intentionally held groups of 3 to 4 people facilitated by Nova. The size is deliberate — intimate enough for depth\, spacious enough for perspective. \nWithin your group you’ll have space to incubate ideas\, talk through decisions\, ask for reflection and hear how others are thinking and moving. \nThis is a collaborative sandbox. There’s no pressure to perform\, pitch or arrive with answers. \nYou’ll leave feeling clearer\, more supported and less alone with what you’re creating. \nSpots are limited. Once they fill that’s it. \nWho this is for: \nCatalyst Circles are for women and non-binary professionals who value thinking in conversation with others and want a place to explore ideas without rushing them. \nThis is especially supportive if you want to engage in thoughtful self-contained work without committing to an ongoing program. \nAbout The Nova: \nThe Nova is a membership-based community for women and non-binary professionals who value authentic connection\, thoughtful leadership and building lives and careers with intention. \nThrough curated gatherings\, facilitated conversations and deeper coaching containers The Nova creates spaces where people can think clearly\, connect meaningfully and grow together without performance or pressure. \nSpots are limited. RSVP now and step into a room where your thinking gets to move. ✨ \n\n\nRSVP now and bring what you’ve been holding alone into a room that can hold it with you.

SUMMARY:NW Chicagoland Nova Connect + Elevate:  Embody the CEO led by Lauren Schaff
DESCRIPTION:Curated connection and member-led workshops for intentional women creating their lives and work with clarity\, depth\, and impact.\n\n\nCONNECT + ELEVATE \nA Curated Gathering for Women Consciously Creating Their Lives and Who Knows the Room Matters \nNW Chicagoland | @ Dayhouse Schaumburg \nYou’re intentional about how you live and how you work.

This one does. \nThis month’s Elevate session connects directly to that idea. Because building wealth with intention starts with how you’re showing up in your own business and whether the role you’re playing actually fits who you are. \nEmbody the CEO – Led by Lauren Schaff\, Business Coach & Marketing Strategist \nYou’re good at what you do. But the business around it might be wearing you out. The missing piece is almost never more hustle. \nIn this session Lauren walks you through what it means to claim the CEO role\, why it matters and how to embody it with a clear framework and practical steps so you can build a business that fits your life. \nLauren brings nearly a decade of corporate marketing experience working with brands like Burger King and Hilton Hotels\, plus firsthand experience as a Realtor and entrepreneur herself. She helps women strengthen their marketing\, attract the right clients and build businesses that feel focused\, sustainable and true to who they are. \nIf you’ve ever left a networking event exhausted from performing and wondering why you went. This is the opposite of that. \nOur hope is that you leave feeling nourished\, clearer and more connected than when you arrived. \nYou’ll leave with new connections\, feeling expanded\, and a feeling that you’ve finally found the room you’ve been looking for.\n \nWHO THIS IS FOR\nConnect + Elevate is for you if: \n\nYou value quality over quantity in your relationships\nYou appreciate thoughtful facilitation and intelligent\, meaningful conversation\nYou’re growing something — a business\, a career\, a body of work\nYou want connection that feels aligned\, not transactional\n\nThis is a room for people who arrive as they are and leave more connected\, clearer\, and expanded. \nEVENT DETAILS\n🗓 2nd Wednesday of every month📍 Dayhouse Schamburg \n✨ If you’ve ever thought\, “That room wasn’t quite it…” this might be.

SUMMARY:NW Chicagoland Nova Catalyst Circles
DESCRIPTION:Small\, facilitated circles for women to think out loud\, incubate ideas\, and draw clarity and momentum from collective wisdom.\n\n\nCATALYST CIRCLESCurated Circles for Women Creating with IntentionNW Chicagoland | last  Tuesday @ Dayhouse Schaumburg I 6:30 – 8 pm \nCatalyst Circles are designed as a place to think out loud\, try ideas on\, and be supported by the wisdom of the room. \nThis is a space to bring what you’re curious about\, building toward\, questioning\, or quietly holding\, and let it move through conversation rather than carrying it alone. You don’t need a polished idea or a clear ask. You just need a desire for a thoughtful room where things can take shape. \nEach month\, we gather for a midday pause that offers clarity\, connection\, and momentum — without the structure or commitment of a long-term program. \nWHAT HAPPENS IN A CATALYST CIRCLE \nWe meet in small\, intentionally held groups of three to four people\, facilitated by Nova. The size is deliberate — intimate enough for depth\, spacious enough for perspective. \nWithin your small group\, you’ll have space to: \n\nincubate ideas and possibilities\ntalk through questions or decisions\nask for reflection or guidance\nhear how others are thinking and moving\n\nThis is a collaborative sandbox\, not a coaching session or mastermind. There’s no pressure to perform\, pitch\, or arrive with answers. The facilitator’s role is to hold the container and guide the flow so everyone has space to participate. \nYou’ll leave feeling clearer\, more supported\, and less alone with what you’re creating. \nWHO THIS IS FOR \nCatalyst Circles are for women and non-binary professionals who value thinking in conversation with others and want a place to explore ideas without rushing them. \nThis experience is especially supportive if you’re curious about deeper work and want to engage in a thoughtful\, self-contained circle without committing to an ongoing container. \n \nABOUT THE NOVA \nThe Nova is a membership-based community for women and non-binary professionals who value authentic connection\, thoughtful leadership\, and building lives and careers with intention. \nThrough curated gatherings\, facilitated conversations\, and deeper coaching containers\, The Nova creates spaces where people can think clearly\, connect meaningfully\, and grow together — without performance or pressure. \n\n\nWe’d love to have you with us—RSVP now and step into a room where your voice matters.

SUMMARY:NW Chicagoland Nova Connect + Elevate:  Equity in Action
DESCRIPTION:Curated connection and member-led workshops for intentional women creating their lives and work with clarity\, depth\, and impact.\n\n\nCONNECT + ELEVATE \nA Curated Gathering for Women Consciously Creating Their Lives and Who Knows the Room Matters \nNW Chicagoland | @ Dayhouse Schaumburg \nYou’re intentional about how you live and how you work. You care not just about what you’re building\, but how you’re building it and who you’re in the room with along the way. \nConnect + Elevate is Nova’s new signature monthly gathering in Schaumburg\, created for women and non-binary seasoned professionals who want meaningful connection\, thoughtful conversation\, and growth that actually feels aligned with their lives. Not just more contacts but people who understand why your values matter as much as your vision. \nThis isn’t about filling a calendar or working a room. It’s about spending your time with people who make you think differently\, feel more like yourself\, and leave you feeling more seen than when you arrived. \nTHE EXPERIENCE\nCONNECT\nWe begin with guided connection around our theme of the month — not icebreakers\, but intentional dialogue that moves purposefully into real conversation. The structure is designed to help you meet people you are so excited to know\, without forcing performance or small talk. \nYou’ll leave this portion with a sense of who’s in the room and who you want to continue the conversation with outside the room. \nAPRIL’S THEME: Equity in Action \nEquity begins with awareness and grows through commitment. This month is about looking at how fairness and inclusion take shape in our daily choices — in our workplaces\, partnerships\, and communities. Together\, we’ll explore how to create conditions where everyone’s voice matters and every contribution counts. \n— \nELEVATE\nIn the second half\, a Nova member leads a short\, live workshop rooted in lived experience.
