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!

Area Director of the Lake County EmPower Breakfast
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. She stepped away from the corporate world in 2023 and purchased her favorite store (ReNew Family Consignment) with her husband, Tim. Today, she is living her best life building their list of customers and consignors by providing quality items at great prices for shoppers and generating income for sellers. Tracy is thrilled to be bringing emPower Breakfast to Lake County and is looking forward to seeing you at a Breakfast soon!
The emPower Breakfast is a down-to-earth, convenient way for small business owners and operators to network with each other and connect with larger businesses and agencies in the community.
Your business can benefit by becoming a sponsor. In return for your investment, your business will be promoted on this website, in emails, and at the breakfast itself. Plus, training for you and your team!
On the month you are assigned to showcase (present) your company:
There are two options for speaking at an emPower Breakfast event:
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.
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.
