Chicago Heels Hive After 5

Ladies of Chicago, the energy was electric last night as women in business gathered for an unforgettable event celebrating collaboration, connection, and success. There was a dynamic mix of women, from dating coaches and consultants to Chicago Bears executives and marketing agency founders.

Heels Hive After 5

Held in Wicker Park at Mireall’s Tavern, this event was all about breaking down barriers and building each other up. Each woman represented a different industry, bringing unique insights, resources, and stories to the table. The agenda? Simple: share resources, exchange referrals, and revel in those hard-earned wins. And trust us, there was no shortage of inspiration.

Referrals & Resources Galore

Every conversation buzzed with opportunity, and every exchange planted seeds for future collaboration. One attendee said it best: “This is where the magic happens.”

Wins Worth Cheering For

Of course, no celebration of women in business would be complete without a little round of applause. In Heels, we have our internal initiative called, STRUTS. Attendees took turns stepping up to the mic to share their wins—big and small. From doubling revenue to graduating from the Navy, to launching a new product, and we even had women share a win of turning down business so they could focus on a new revenue stream that had alignment with their business model and vision.

Why Events Like This Matter

For women in business, especially here in Chicago, finding a community that gets it can make all the difference. This event wasn’t just about networking; it was about fostering genuine connections and building a powerhouse community of women who lift each other. And in a city as vibrant as Chicago, these connections can ripple out to transform industries and ignite change.

Final Thoughts

Last night’s event was proof that when we come together, the possibilities are endless. To the incredible women who shared their resources, referrals, and wins: you are unstoppable. And to those ready to join the movement: we’re saving a seat for you at the table.
