Business Workshop: Crafting Your Strengths-Based Personal Brand
with guest Nicole Bensen, owner Tentacles and Tea.

We are teaming up with chamber member Nicole Bensen, owner of Tentacles and Tea to bring you the professional tools to elevate your brand and your value just in time to set those 2026 goals. You don't want to miss this workshop. 

Most people make the same 3 mistakes at networking events. These mistakes cost you clients, referrals, and connections. In this interactive 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to avoid those traps, get clear on your unique strengths, and practice with peers as you craft an elevator pitch that sparks curiosity and opens doors. You’ll walk away with a personal brand statement that helps you attract more opportunities you actually want in work and life—not just a forgettable summary of your resume.

During this workshop you'll:

• Craft a professional branding statement tied to your strengths and goals.
• Practice articulating your unique value with your “elevator pitch.”
• Gain tools to advocate for yourself in performance reviews, networking, and cross-functional work.
