Membership

“Heels & Handshakes has been GAME CHANGING for our business!

First and foremost, we landed an incredible client within the first month of us joining - this alone paid for 3+ years of our annual membership!

Secondly, we hired one of our incredible team members through the Heels network - as they say, great people attract great people, and this was a testament of that!

Lastly, and most importantly, the Queen herself, Shannen. She is one of the most selfless people that I know. Simply put, Shannen always has your best interest at heart - she really cares about making the right connections and making an impact in your business. She is a strategist, connector and a wicked smart businesswoman. I have so much love and respect to Shannen and would recommend this organization to anyone that is looking to grow their business!” - Nadian Zak

“Heels and Handshakes has been a game-changer for me! This incredible networking group has connected me with a powerhouse community of successful businesswomen in Chicago who truly champion one another. The support, collaboration, and genuine relationships I’ve built here have been invaluable—not only have I gained new clients, but I’ve also received incredible referrals from fellow members.

If you're looking for a networking group that goes beyond business cards and truly fosters meaningful connections, Heels and Handshakes is the place to be. I’m so grateful to be part of this community, and I highly recommend it to any woman looking to expand her network, grow her business, and be surrounded by inspiring professionals.” - Joelle Remy

“Heels and Handshakes is my favorite networking organization! The open forum online, women supporting women, and casual networking only events set this group apart from all others in Nashville. I have sent and received so much business on the online open forum, and made so many connections that I wouldn’t have otherwise have had the opportunity to.”

－ Falon Veit Scott, Evolution Event Solutions

“Heels & Handshakes is the first place I go with event needs, questions, or referrals. It truly is amazing to see the power of a vetted network at work at this caliber. Last month, I posted a job listing for my company on H&H. I received 42 applications and all candidates had great experience. We have now hired three people from the H&H community. This is the only group I will go to for my hospitality and event industry hiring needs.”

“All I can say is WOWWWWW!! What an incredible event I experienced last night as a first-time guest I was so impressed with the whole event. You and your team did such an incredible job with every detail. I have been networking for the last 10 years and I have never been to an event that I honestly didn’t want to leave. Well done!!  How do I sign up and join in this incredible group of fabulous women and inspirational energy? Please sign me up!”

“It was wonderful to meet you and all the women of Heels and Handshakes. I was blown away by the level of professionalism, energy, and power of these beautiful and talented women in business and entrepreneurs. It was a pleasure to be able to witness the conversations and interactions. I can’t say enough how impressed I am with the strength and leadership of your organization. Take this thing global!” - Stephanie Hand

“I previously had a H&H membership through previous companies I worked for. My experience with H&H was so impactful that when it was time for me to venture out and start my own business, I knew H&H would be an important membership for me! The amount of support and connecting that happens with this group of women is something very special.” - Rosa Ellett
