My Christmas Gift to You If You’re Building a Business
If you're building a business, I have a very special Christmas gift for you. The gift arrives in 2026, and I'll reveal it shortly, but first, I want to share something.
December is a natural pause point for women in business and in high-level roles. It's a natural pause for our businesses: our clients may not need us, we may be looking to wrap up the year, reflect on the past year, and prepare for the next.
We're thinking: What have we built? What have we learned? What have we navigated this year?
At this point, you're probably closing loops, celebrating wins, and starting to imagine what's coming next. Even when things are going well, December invites these bigger questions:
What do I want more of next year? How do I want success to feel?
This is an intentional moment, a zoom out so we can look ahead with optimism.
You Deserve Strong Support
Women are often the planners, the connectors, the vision holders. We're the ones who make things happen and keep everything moving. In business, that means we have the leadership, the resilience, the adaptability.
But it isn't about depletion. We shouldn't just be waiting for the holiday time to recoup and re-energize. It's really about recognizing how much capacity we have, how much capacity exists in us, and how much capacity we want moving forward.
Strong women also deserve strong support, strong motivation, and strong inspiration. Giving to yourself is powerful.
Christmas is about generosity and care. Sometimes the most meaningful generosity is directed inwards. We are leading, building, and creating, and we are in need of support as well.
Where Have You Been Generous?
Think about where you've been generous with your time, your energy, your leadership this year. Where might you choose to invest back into yourself? Maybe that's the gift you really need. We don't need another physical gift, another purse, another mug, another planner, another productivity tool.
What really creates momentum? Three things:
- Clarity: Knowing what matters to you. What matters instead of trying to do everything. The specific intentional things and the place you're going, that vision you have, that mission, reconnecting with that.
- Confidence: The confidence to show up fully as yourself, clearly, unapologetically.
- Community: Being around women who inspire, who challenge, and who will support you because they're also strong.
Right now, clarity, confidence, and community, which of the three is the most exciting to you? Take a moment. What's your gut decision?
The honest truth is you can be successful and still crave connection. You can be confident and still want a stronger circle of support. When you take ambition, your strength, skills, talents and gifts, and connect that with support, it's such a winning combination.
The Power of Being in the Right Room
For me, I just came back from the CAPS convention (the Canadian Association of Professional speakers) in Halifax. When I am in the right room, it expands my thinking, especially being in the high-income earners group. Those are my people, the people who understand the challenges I go through.
You know that feeling when the right event, convention, or room sparks new confidence in you and creates new possibilities, and from that, energy and perspective.
There's so much power in being surrounded by your people, especially with other women who are growing too and wanting more for themselves, wanting more success for the business, but also wanting more in life.
There's a difference between consuming information (that we're all being bombarded with it) and actually being invested in an experience. Being in person matters for momentum, belief, energy, and resonance.
My Gift to You
That's why I want to go back to my roots. When I first started running my business, especially after my daughter was born. I was sick of surface-level networking and started the Dynamic Women community. I started with one location and grew to eight, running live events and in-person training. Then I moved online with COVID, and I'm ready to bring it back.
I'm ready to recreate these special containers, special spaces that have intention, that have heart, and that are kick-butt in the information and the experience we have.
The Women's Business Success Seminar Returns
The very first one I ran was in Vancouver at Hycroft Manor, an Edwardian mansion. We were in the big ballroom with 70 women for a three-hour event. It was amazing. I kept running these events in North Vancouver, Vancouver, Burnaby, and Ontario. They are designed specifically for women building businesses who want to grow with clarity, confidence, and connection.
I brought it online and it was still magical. But recently I've been thinking: I want to get back to being in person and I don't want to do the big ones right now. What I want to do is small, intimate ones where we all sit around a table, and we get to share learn, engage and have an experience.
It's designed to help you step into the next year (and the next quarter, the next month, the next day) with clear direction and stronger confidence in how you show up, where you have real connections with real, like-minded women, and the momentum from that event will carry you forward immediately.
What Makes This Different
This is an event where you're not just listening (speaker after speaker where you just take notes). You're engaged. With my background in teaching and curriculum development, I always make it where you're engaged with the material and the group. You're being reflective, you're sharing, you're connecting, so you'll leave with fresh perspective and new ideas, but renewed energy from being able to verbalize, to implement, to connect with others on what matters most to you.
It's not hype, it's not hustle, it's not pressure. It's focused, grounded, and genuinely energizing.
I invite you to attend as my guest. Here are the Event Details:
When: January 8 (Thursday), two sessions on the same day
Where: North Vancouver, near my home
Capacity: Only 10 spots per session
Investment: Normally $197, but use the special link to sign up here and your ticket is Diane's gift to you. Just cover the $25 Seat Deposit, and when you attend, you'll receive a book from the Dynamic Women® Secrets Series as your gift.
There will be an online version later for those who aren't local. Make sure you sign up for the waitlist.
Who Is This For?
- Are you a woman who's ready to grow with intention?
- Are you a woman who wants your business success to feel more aligned, more satisfying?
- Are you a woman who values clarity, confidence, connection, and also conversation and collaboration? (You never know who else is going to be in the room, They could be a future client, a future friend, a future collab partner)
- Are you someone who doesn't want to do it all alone?
You don't need to be ready. You don't need to have all your ducks in a row. You don't need a perfect plan. Just have some curiosity and optimism that you’re going to have a great time and get a lot out of it.
Why Is This My Gift?
Normally to attend these sessions costs $197 because it's three hours of my time and content. It's like group coaching, strategy and connection together in a beautiful boardroom. But I invite you to pick this up as your gift from me with the special discount code because you read my blogs.
Can you bring a friend? If you think they are a good fit (if they have some of these things I've just listed), then share this with them and invite them to come. If you're not sure, reach out to me.
Imagine these few intentional hours focused on growth, focused on clarity, focused on connection. It's going to be huge for you.
A Powerful Leadership Move
Choosing support is a powerful leadership move. Choosing connection is a catalyst for growth. That's how I've been able to move my business forward, by using connection with others, whether it be a coach, a business advisor, other women I collab with, or my clients.
What I want for you is to start the next chapter energized, confident, and supported.
Thank you for being part of my world. I invite you to carry forward what resonated from last year and to step into what's next, because it's going to be so exciting.
