🚀 Navigate the New Economy: Build Your Business GPS at the 2025 CEO Bootcamp Revenue Accelerator!

*Sponsored by Capital Readiness Program, USHCC & Loudoun County Economic Development.

In today’s turbulent economy, U.S. businesses can no longer afford to "drive by sight."  The U.S. economic landscape — marked by inflation, soaring interest rates, labor costs, and uncertainty — demands that every business owner and C-level executive create a precise GPS to survive, adapt, and thrive in 2025 and beyond.

Having a Roadmap for your business means knowing exactly where you are, where you want to go, and how you’ll get there — even when the road is rough. Without one, it’s easy to drift, off course, waste resources, and miss critical opportunities.

That’s why you can’t miss the 2025 CEO Bootcamp Revenue Accelerator!
This is not another lecture — it’s a hands-on strategy and execution lab where you’ll craft your custom business GPS, sharpen your leadership mindset, and build a revenue-focused plan that works in the real world.

🔹 Learn how to overcome today’s challenges by mastering the 3 Key Questions Every Business Owner Must Answer.
🔹 Strengthen your Financial Building Blocks to stabilize and grow faster.
🔹 Discover how to drive cash flow through optimizing:➔ Prospects | Conversion Rate | Purchase Amount | Transactions | Profit Margin.
Every great company understands that Cash, Margin, Velocity, and Growth are the non-negotiables for success — especially in the New Economy. At the CEO Bootcamp Revenue Accelerator, you’ll learn how to harness these drivers with discipline and precision.
This is the roadmap high-growth businesses are using to win — now it’s your turn.

FREE WORKSHOP ALERT

In the competitive world of business, securing every possible advantage is critical for growth and success. For small businesses in Virginia, the Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned Business (SWaM) Certification provides a unique opportunity to stand out, access lucrative State and city government contracts, and build strong networks in the public and private sectors.

Small business owners who are looking to participate in Virginia’s specialized procurement and contracting opportunities are encouraged to become SWaM certified. The SWaM certification is a vehicle to promote economic growth of Virginia’s businesses. Becoming SWaM certified is just the first step in doing business with the Commonwealth. Each year the state buys goods and services totaling more than $8 billion. The Commonwealth of Virginia wants to do business with you and increase participation of small, women owned, and minority-owned businesses.

This workshop will cover the SWaM Program and certification/designation types, on-line application process, required documents needed to apply, and how to use the certification to do business with the Commonwealth (intro to eVA, Virginia’s Online Procurement Portal).  Bring your laptop and do it receiving one on one assistance. 

What is SWaM Certification?
SWaM certification is a designation provided by the Commonwealth of Virginia, designed to promote economic opportunities for small businesses, women-owned businesses, and minority-owned businesses. This program connects these businesses to a wide array of state-funded procurement opportunities.

Why is SWaM Certification Important?

1. Access to State Contracts
   Virginia spends billions annually on goods and services. A portion of this spending is allocated specifically for SWaM-certified businesses. Certification opens the door to these opportunities, giving your business a competitive edge.

2. Enhanced Visibility  
   Being listed in the SWaM database makes it easier for government agencies and larger companies to find and partner with your business. Many organizations actively seek SWaM-certified vendors to meet their diversity and inclusion goals.

3. Networking Opportunities
   SWaM certification allows you to attend specialized networking events, workshops, and expos. These platforms are designed to connect you with key decision-makers and industry leaders, offering a direct route to new partnerships.

4. Strengthened Credibility
   The SWaM designation is more than just a certification; it’s a statement of trustworthiness and capability. It signals to potential clients and partners that your business meets rigorous state standards, enhancing your reputation in the market.

5. Support for Growth
   Certified businesses gain access to training programs, mentoring, and resources aimed at helping them scale and compete effectively in larger markets.

Who Should Get SWaM Certified?
Any small business in Virginia that qualifies as small, women-owned, or minority-owned should consider applying for SWaM certification. Whether you are a startup or an established enterprise, this certification can amplify your growth potential.  For Virginia small businesses, SWaM certification is more than a credential; it’s a gateway to new opportunities. By leveraging the program, you can unlock contracts, enhance your visibility, and establish a foothold in a highly competitive marketplace. Don't miss the chance to grow your business—start your SWaM certification journey today and position your business for long-term success. 
Presented by Chris Ley, Business Services Manager, Northern Virginia Region.

Career Reignite Workshop: “Job Search, Meet AI” Use It to Work Smarter— Not Harder

Feeling overwhelmed by job boards, ignored by recruiters, and exhausted by the process?
You’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong.

Today’s job market is chaotic. Entire industries are shifting. Government jobs aren’t as secure as they once were. And now AI is showing up in every corner of the job search—from resume writing to networking tools—leaving job seekers confused about what to use and how to use it.

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Should I be using AI in my job search?”
“Am I cheating if I let it write my resume?”
“Why does everyone sound the same online?”
—this workshop is for you.

What You’ll Learn

This session will show you how to use AI strategically—not to replace your voice, but to save time, stay organized, and stay sharp.

You’ll learn:

  • Where AI tools can help—and where they can hurt your chances

  • Which tools to use (ChatGPT, Jobscan, Teal, Crystal Knows, and others)

  • How to apply AI at each stage of your job search—from planning and researching to applying and interviewing

  • How to avoid sounding generic or robotic—and stand out by sounding like you

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A smarter, easier way to manage your job search

  • A clear understanding of how to use AI tools without relying on them

  • More confidence in your resume, cover letter, and outreach

  • A plan for moving forward with clarity and focus

Who This Is For

This workshop is designed for professionals navigating career changes, re-entering the workforce, or shifting industries—especially those feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure of how to stand out in a sea of online applications.

If you want to take back control of your job search without losing your voice—or your mind—this session will get you back on track.

Why It Matters

This isn’t another generic AI webinar. It’s a practical, real-world guide for job seekers who want results—and still want to sound like themselves.

Join us. Let’s simplify the process, sharpen your strategy, and help you land where you’re meant to be.

“You have the clients. You have the team. But something’s not clicking.”

❌ Deals are moving slower than they should.
❌ Your sales and operations aren’t on the same page.
❌ You’re answering the same questions over and over again.

That’s where my Sales-Ops Execution Blueprint comes in.

It’s a simple framework I use with companies to help them:

✅ Get clear on who does what, when, and how
✅ Capture and document messy processes (without the chaos)
✅ Align sales and operations so deals don’t get stuck
✅ Create a path where your team can actually perform — not just survive

This is for you if:

  • You’re wearing too many hats

  • Your team keeps dropping the ball

  • You know you need to scale, but systems feel messy

I’ll show you how documenting and connecting your workflows isn’t just admin — it’s the key to unlocking faster deals, smoother handoffs, and better performance.

Let’s align your team so they can execute — and your business can grow.  Join us and let’s talk about how to make your business flow.
