Peer Groups

The Peer Groups offered by weVENTURE help CEOs do what they do best…better.  This program is designed for female executives who are committed to becoming more effective business leaders.   Women who appreciate that accountability leads to measurable growth will benefit from this new program offered by weVENTURE. 

Other Peer Groups, also known as “mastermind groups” or “roundtables,” can cost thousands of dollars and require significant travel.  weVENTURE has partnered with experienced coaches to facilitate  Peer Groups accessible to female executives in Brevard, Indian River and St. Lucie Counties for a minimal cost.  Currently, Peer Groups are being subsidized by funding from the CARES Act, as part of our COVID-19 emergency support program.

Why Join a Peer Group? 

A weVENTURE Peer Group is an unique program where cohorts are carefully matched to provide the time and space for female executives to pursue ongoing personal and professional development.  Unlike other peer groups that provide education but no follow through, the Peer Groups offered by weVENTURE include both one group session and one 1:1 coaching sessions.  This provides continuity and accountability necessary to ensure clients achieve bottom-line results. 

Make better decisions and enhance the quality of your performance and your relationships by joining a  Peer Group today.

weVENTURE is committed to providing high-quality education and programming for female entrepreneurs and professional women at every phase of their career.  We are excited to offer these opportunities, targeting female executives and CEOs looking for strategic support and professional development.   Contact Kathy Register at kregister@fit.edu for more information.
