You care not just about what you’re building, but how you’re building it and who you’re in the room with along the way.Connect + Elevate is Nova’s new signature monthly gathering in DMV, created for women and non-binary seasoned professionals who want meaningful connection, thoughtful conversation, and growth that actually feels aligned with their lives. Not just more contacts but people who understand why your values matter as much as your vision.This isn’t about filling a calendar or working a room. It’s about spending your time with people who make you think differently, feel more like yourself, and leave you feeling more seen than when you arrived.THE EXPERIENCECONNECTWe begin with guided connection around our theme of the month — not icebreakers, but intentional dialogue that moves purposefully into real conversation. The structure is designed to help you meet people you are so excited to know, without forcing performance or small talk.You’ll leave this portion with a sense of who’s in the room and who you want to continue the conversation with outside the room.APRIL'S THEME: Equity in ActionEquity begins with awareness and grows through commitment. This month is about looking at how fairness and inclusion take shape in our daily choices — in our workplaces, partnerships, and communities. Together, we’ll explore how to create conditions where everyone’s voice matters and every contribution counts.--ELEVATEIn the second half, a Nova member leads a short, live workshop rooted in lived experience. These sessions are practical, relevant, and grounded — offering insight you can apply immediately.Topics vary month to month and include leadership, money, visibility, communication, wellbeing, or sustainable success. Each workshop is designed to elevate both the member leading and the collective intelligence of the room.SPEAKER: Hannah ShahabiLeading from Your Inner BoardroomIn our professional and personal lives, many different “parts” of us show up—our inner critic, our protector, our visionary, our caretaker. What if practicing equity started within?At this Connect & Elevate Constellation Event hosted by The Nova Global, Hannah Shahabi, LPC, NCC and owner of Resilient Futures Counseling will introduce the concept of the “Inner Boardroom,” inspired by principles from Internal Family Systems. This reflective framework helps professionals explore the internal dialogue and parts of themselves that influence how they lead, communicate, and make decisions.In this interactive session, Hannah will guide participants through recognizing which parts of themselves show up most often—and how practicing equity among those parts can shift the way we show up with others. Together, we’ll explore the difference between equity, equality, and balance, and how small daily practices can help us embody equity in meaningful ways.You’ll walk away with:A simple framework for understanding your “inner boardroom” and the parts that influence your decisionsGreater awareness of how internal dynamics shape the way you lead and collaborateInsight into the difference between equity, equality, and balance—and why equity matters in practicePractical reflection tools to help you bring equity into your daily professional and personal interactionsExpect a thoughtful and engaging conversation designed to help you reflect, connect, and walk away with insights you can immediately put into practiceYou’ll leave with new connections, feeling expanded, and a feeling that you've finally found the room you've been looking for.WHO THIS IS FORConnect + Elevate is for you if:You value quality over quantity in your relationshipsYou appreciate thoughtful facilitation and intelligent, meaningful conversationYou’re growing something — a business, a career, a body of workYou want connection that feels aligned, not transactionalThis is a room for people who arrive as they are and leave more connected, clearer, and expanded.EVENT DETAILS🗓 First Monday of every month📍 Nurture Wellcare – Denver⏰ Arrival 3:45–4:15 PMStarts promptly at 4:15 PM | Ends at 6:30 PM✨ If you’ve ever thought, “That room wasn’t quite it…” this might be.Why We’re Partnering with NurtureWe’re honored to gather at Nurture—a wellness-rooted marketplace that, like The Nova, believes in nourishing the whole self.
