So why does talking about money still feel shaky? \nWhether you’re raising your rates\, chasing overdue invoices\, or navigating scope creep — money conversations can feel awkward\, emotional\, or downright exhausting. But they don’t have to be. \nIn this grounded\, practical workshop based on Linda Hunt’s upcoming book\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nState your rates with clarity and confidence\nAnchor pricing in a process — not emotion\nStop scope creep without losing the client\nRaise your prices without asking permission\nRenegotiate long-term client relationships with calm authority\n\nWhat you’ll walk away with: \n\nReal-world scripts to use in tricky money moments\nPractical systems to ensure you get paid (on time)\nA nervous system-friendly approach to pricing + client communication\nThe confidence to stop undercharging — and start owning your value\n\nThis isn’t about being aggressive. It’s about being clear. \nBecause your business becomes more sustainable every time you stop leaking time\, energy\, and income. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinda Hunt is the founder of SumSolutions and the author of the forthcoming book The Money Conversation: Speak the Truth. Set the Standard. Get Paid Without Apology. \nWith a background in corporate and as an early pioneer of remote accounting services\, Linda brings decades of financial and operational expertise — paired with a deep understanding of how structure\, clarity\, and nervous system capacity shape sustainable business success. \nShe helps service-based entrepreneurs build the financial and operational structure that sustains their brilliance. From pricing and delivery to systems\, boundaries\, and communication\, Linda’s work strengthens the business behind the service — so entrepreneurs can profit sustainably\, lead with confidence\, and stop second-guessing their worth. \nHer clients learn to hold calm\, grounded money conversations — not because they’ve memorized a script\, but because their business is built to support their value. The Money Conversation arrives early next year and will guide readers through pricing with integrity\, structure\, and nervous system safety — so they can lead with clarity and get paid without apology. \nSpeaker Links: \n\nhttps://www.sumsolutions.com/\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/sumsolutions/\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lindaahunt/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/sumsolutionsllc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?

For help accessing members portal please email questions@hayvn.com \nProgram Topic: You Built It. Are you Still Choosing It\nEileen Benwitt\, Executive Confidant/Leadership Coach \nPlus Member Spotlight: Jennifer Glover Keller\, Business Productivity Consultant \nParticipants will leave with a simple way to recognize and return to agency in real time:\nThe Agency Check: \n\nIs this mine to choose or am I reacting?\nWhat is driving this decision?\nIf I didn’t do this\, what feels at risk?\nDoes this feel like something I’m stepping into or carrying?\nDid I choose this or did I default to it?\n\nAgency isn’t something you have\, it’s something you practice.\n\nThere’s a difference between running your business and being run by it.\nNot all “yeses” are choices. Some are pressure in disguise.\nEnergy is a signal.\nYou don’t need to rebuild\, you need to re-choose.\nThe difference between independence\, empowerment and agency\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKER: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEileen Benwitt is an Executive Confidant\, leadership coach with over three decades of experience at the intersection of influence\, people\, and culture\, including serving as a C-suite HR executive. Known for her emotional precision\, blunt grace\, and a commitment to honest self-reflection\, she partners with leaders and organizations to reclaim what is real within themselves and the systems they lead. \nHer approach integrates executive development\, emotional resilience\, relational intelligence\, and alignment-based leadership to support leaders navigating uncertainty\, honoring their capacity\, and modeling sustainability\, leading from self-awareness rather than performance. Through 1:1 partnerships\, group experiences\, and organizational advisory work\, she reframes leadership as an inside job — one that begins with understanding oneself and extends into how we show up for others. When leaders lead from this place\, their presence lifts others rather than depletes them\, making work feel human again\, influencing organizations in ways that are both deeply human and deeply consequential. \nEileen’s work is grounded in lived experience. Over the course of her career\, she witnessed firsthand how internal misalignment can impact wellbeing and overall capacity — insight later deepened through her own professional reinvention. That experience now informs how she partners with others. \nAt its core\, Eileen’s work reflects a simple belief: leadership begins with understanding ourselves. This work is most powerful when it is knitted into the natural evolution of leadership\, supporting growth as it unfolds rather than interrupting it. \nSpeaker link: LinkedIn\, website \n\n\n\n\nAbout The Entrepreneurial Women’s Collective (EWC) \nThe Entrepreneurial Women’s Collective was born in 2015 as a way to offer meaningful networking and professional development to women business owners. Since that time\, the EWC network has expanded\, special friendships have formed and business has happened\, all while learning from some pretty amazing speakers. EWC’s mission is to bring smart\, supportive women together and watch the magic happen. \nWhen we ask the members what they like best\, the #1 answer is “the women in the room”. Words like high quality\, warm\, welcoming\, willing to help one another are heard over and over again. Go to HAYVN.com/EWC to become a member. \n\n\n\n\nQuestions?

She is a go-to-market strategist who partners with venture capital- and private equity-backed companies on strategic growth initiatives. Operating at the intersection of brand and strategy\, she believes that growth comes not just from a great product but from how well a company tells their story—and she’s spent two decades helping brands sharpen their value narratives through strategic positioning and messaging. She not only works closely with B2B brands on shaping and sharing their stories on LinkedIn\, but she’s also spent the last year growing her own LinkedIn presence by more than 30x. \nAs a former marketing and growth leader at 3x venture-backed startups that scaled to successful exits by leading brands including Northwestern Mutual\, WeWork\, and Seismic\, she’s launched a 2025 TIME Best Invention of the Year\, an Amazon best-selling book\, and dozens of strategic growth initiatives that have unlocked new market opportunities and driven hundreds of millions in revenue. \nThroughout her career and now with West End\, she’s worked with emerging and established brands—including EY\, Capgemini\, UBS\, Dow Jones\, AB-InBev and numerous high-growth startups—to craft brand narratives that command attention in competitive markets and drive measurable growth. \nShe holds an MBA from UVA’s Darden School of Business\, a BA from Vanderbilt University\, and serves as a trusted advisor to founders\, CEOs\, and CMOs who want to scale growth through elevated brand positioning and strategic storytelling. \nConnect with Jacqueline Kurdziel: West End Consulting\, LinkedIn \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?
