Evento emPower

Lake County EmPower Breakfast

May 20 at 7:40 AM

25 years of bringing people together!

Why We Are Different

Focused on You: From Featured Speakers to table conversations, many people have a chance to speak at an emPower Breakfast. Experts, Sponsors, regular attendees ... and You! We try to give everyone a chance to share their stories...

An Intimate Event: We aren’t looking for hundreds to attend - our events feel like you could meet everyone if you tried.

Non-commercial: The emPower Breakfast does not promote any specific product, the presentations are not sales pitches. Our monthly event is non-membership and public; focused on fun and relationship building.

We finish on time: We pace our event quickly, so there’s never a dull moment!

Register now for the May emPower Breakfast! Featuring Aiyana Emsun - Program Manager of Prevention Education

Aiyana Emsun

I am a relationship-based dog trainer dedicated to building bridges between the animal world and the human world. My approach is rooted in psychology and behavioral science, focusing on understanding the “why” and driving factors behind behavior rather than simply correcting it. I believe true training goes beyond tools — it’s about motivation, communication and clarity, and trust. When owners understand their dog’s strengths, limitations, and emotional drivers, they create bonds that inspire dogs to willingly engage and work as partners. As a one-woman business, I provide group classes, private lessons, board-and-train programs, boarding services, and hopefully soon day training. My mission is to empower owners with knowledge while creating confident, stable dogs through connection-based leadership.

Tracy spent the bulk of her 30+ year career in all aspects of Network Marketing, notably as Vice President of Sales for companies from the start up stage to most recently a skincare/beauty brand with a billion-dollar valuation.

SPEAKER

Speak at the emPower breakfast

Promote Your Business to a Wider Audience

There are two options for speaking at an emPower Breakfast event:

Featured Speakers

Being a featured speaker provided the business or individual to shine for 15 minutes. You want to follow similar guidelines as a 3-minute speaker. You need to make sure you provide good information that is relevant to most attendees on a topic that you are a thought leader on. Here you can bring a presentation and use the A/V system.

NOTE: Filling out the form places you into the queue to be a speaker. You will be notified of the month and day when you will be assigned. Use the Message field to make any special requests: Month, AV, etc.

Share Your Business With a 3-Minute Presentation At No Cost

Each month, there are opportunities to tell the group a little more about yourself by doing a 3-minute presentation on you and your business.

This is more than just an elevator speech – it’s an opportunity to share more information about who you are, what you do, and how you can help any of the people attending the emPower Breakfast.
