COLLECTIVELY INFLUENTIAL
Collectively Influential is a small, invitation only, collective experience for women experts who serve women entrepreneurs.
Because the right relationships, nurtured in the right rooms, change everything.
You've joined networking groups.
You've created collaborations.
You've been in a mastermind or two.
And of course, some of that delivered results.
But when you stop and think about it, most of it didn't bring you the deeper business relationships that you crave as a seasoned business owner.
Not because those rooms were bad.
But, because those rooms were not created as an ecosystem with other women in a similar stage of business, helping each other build together.
Who we are...
To be clear, Collectively Influential is NOT another networking group.
This is a curated and vetted community of 24 seasoned women entrepreneurs who serve other women entrepreneurs, each in their own lane of expertise.
The community is intentionally facilitated to create a space to strategize, collaborate, make "hot" referrals AND collectively write the seminal book on influence specifically written for women entrepreneurs titled,
"The Empowered Woman's Guide to Influence"!
After all, the right referrals, collaborations and partnerships come from developing trust over time, with people who understand your work and what you are building towards at a much deeper level.
Even just ONE deep business relationship can compound for years.
And, this community exists to make those connections happen intentionally.
Why this and why now?
Women are starting more businesses than ever. Building platforms, writing books, taking the stage. And yet the wealth, the influence, the rooms in which big decisions get made have left women out of the equation.
Women are underrepresented in every sector in society. In fact, women leaders make up less than 30% of total leadership across business, politics and other organizations globally.
It's not an accident, it's actually by design.
It's not okay, and it will not change on its own.
My mission is to change the systems that have left many women entrepreneurs struggling to even get past the 6 figure milestone.
To create a world in which women are independently financially free.
Women who are able to take care of themselves, their families and their communities AND have an equal seat at the tables in which BIG decisions about the world are made.
Not theoretically. Practically. By bringing together a curated group of women entrepreneurs, each an expert in her own lane, and giving them a shared platform, a real strategy — and each other!
The collaborative book, Empowered Woman's Guide to Influence, rallies us, binds us together, and gives every woman in it a tangible legacy to pass along to the women coming up behind her.
This collective experience is the outward expression of something bigger: a movement to help thousands more women make more money, claim more influence, and gain more power!
The world needs women. like YOU, with more power, wealth, and influence!
It’s a response to what’s happening right now.
“Having other women who align with that being in the room — oh my god, tsunami of impact.
When this book is released, it will be a handbook on how we forge this path forward, quite practically, in these different areas of life. And that’s what’s needed right now.”
EDI O. - VA AGENCY OWNER
You’re already doing meaningful work.
Now you’re ready for it to travel further.
You have the expertise, the point of view, and the mission.
You relish the idea of a room of women who take this moment as seriously as you do.
You see the bigger picture: the women who join this project don't just become co-authors, they become a collective!
You understand that the relationships built here - strategic and genuine - are the seeds of a larger movement.
This is a movement, an ecosystem AND a legacy book all in one!
Your lane is yours alone. Once an area of expertise is filled, that seat is closed — which means the women in this room aren't competing, they're collaborating.
The book gives every woman in it something to stand behind that's bigger than her own work. It's the rally point, the shared mission, the thing that makes the collaboration real rather than coincidental.
AND the book is the beginning, not the finish line. The women coming in now are shaping what this collective becomes. The relationships, the momentum, what gets built on the other side of launch is the architecture.
This is how we will get down to business - together!
ONE-ON-ONE STRATEGY SESSION
Before you write a word, you’ll sit down with Melissa to map your customer journey, find the gaps, and get clear on exactly how the book fits into your business growth strategy. Every woman’s puzzle is different, and this call makes the book personal, not generic.
YOUR PUBLISHED CHAPTER
Full publishing support through Brave Healer Publishing: writing guidance, editorial feedback, layout, media kit, and a coordinated bestseller launch. Estimated October 2026 publication date.
LEAD MAGNET DEVELOPMENT
Expert guidance to turn your chapter into a functional, polished lead magnet you can deploy immediately and promote through the post-launch series. You arrive at launch ready, not scrambling.
ACTIVE COLLABORATION MATCHMAKING
Melissa actively looks for win-win collaborations between collective members, based on real business context, not proximity. The goal is that every woman leaves with at least one meaningful collaboration that makes sense for her business.
POST-LAUNCH EXPERT SERIES
After launch, the collective runs a themed expert series where each author teaches her topic to a combined audience of all authors’ networks. You’re not just promoting to your own list, you’re getting in front of every other author’s audience too
MILESTONE CALLS
Structured touchpoints designed around the natural arc of the project: kickoff, mid-point strategy, pre-launch prep, and post-launch planning. Not optional meetups. Milestone moments with purpose.
The mission changes the conversation.
The conversation is the strategy!
One of the hardest things about being in a co-authored book is figuring out how to talk about it without it feeling like self-promotion. “Hey, I’m in this book” is an awkward pitch. Nobody wants to make it.
When your chapter is tied to a mission, self-promotion disappears. You're not pitching a product, you're championing something real, and showing how your expertise makes it possible.
That conversation works anywhere: a podcast, a networking event, a cold email, a speaking inquiry. Long after launch.
And when you show up for the other women in this collective, you're not doing them a favor. You're advancing something you're both invested in.
That's what makes it sustainable and exponential!
This project is intentionally curated.
Not everyone is the right fit.
Expert in your lane: consultant, strategist, coach, advisor, educator
Serve women entrepreneurs in some capacity through your work
Building a platform around your ideas, not just your services
Genuinely called to the mission of women’s power and influence
Ready to collaborate, not just network
Want visibility that converts, not just credibility for its own sake
Can see the exponential ROI that comes from the right relationships and what this collective builds together beyond the launch
Looking only to add a credential without engaging the community
Not currently building a business around your expertise
Not drawn to the mission beyond the book
Not ready to invest in real collaboration
“Working with other people who have similar values, aligned purpose, and serve a similar client, but do different things — that is really an intentional strategy. The money is the outcome, it's not the intention.”

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Most book projects end at publication. This one starts there. The strategy session, lead magnet development, collaboration matchmaking, and expert series are all designed to make sure the book actually does something for your business, not just your bio.
Plan for the one-on-one strategy session, two author writing support calls, time to draft and revise your chapter, four milestone group calls, and participation in the launch promotion. Spread across six months, it’s meaningful but manageable, and every hour you put in builds an asset you’ll use for years.
Yes. The project is fully virtual. Time zone differences are workable and we’ll be thoughtful about scheduling. The only consideration is whether a significant time difference would affect your ability to show up consistently for the group calls.
Yes. If you prefer a payment plan, you can make 3 installments of $900 each. Of course if you have extenuating circumstances, reach out to Melissa to talk through what works for your timing.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Not at all. Whatever level writer you are, you’ll receive clear prompts, writing support, and expert editing to make sure your chapter shines, without stress. This is about sharing your voice, not being perfect on the page.
You’ll get guidance to help clarify your message and connect it to your business and legacy. We’ll help you uncover the story only you can tell, the one that draws clients, partners, and media your way.
You’ll have support every step of the way through guided writing sessions, editorial feedback, and writer support calls. This is a collaborative process, not a solo push. We’ve built in structure to help you follow through without overwhelm.
Yes. You’ll be part of a full PR and launch campaign through Brave Healer Publishing, with exposure to thousands of readers, podcast hosts, potential clients, and collaborators. And because you’re writing alongside other women who will also be sharing it, it’s a visibility amplifier.
Absolutely. You’ll get a media kit, graphics, and as many copies as you want at cost to use in your business however you like. This book becomes a long-term asset for your brand and thought leadership.
The book is scheduled to launch January 19, 2027. Save the date!
