The Entrepreneurial Think Tank for Women (ETTW) seeks to connect like-minded women, network, build relationships and to learn from and support each other.
Members share experiences and ideas that include a range of topics from stress management to personal and professional development issues, said Vanessa Coppes, of Marlboro, a co-founder of ETTW.
Lynette Barbieri, of Freehold, is the other co-founder of ETTW.
Meetings are held at the Fireside Bar and Grill, Marlboro, on the first Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and on the third Friday of the month from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The ETTW began in 2012 and membership has steadily grown, according to its founders.
Jessica Mashkevich of Millstone Township discovered that ETTW is a great way to make interesting connections with people who support success.
“Since we all have different backgrounds, education levels and work experiences, I am enlightened by different perspectives and inspired by the group’s motivation to see their members succeed,” Mashkevich said. “It is a great place to make connections with people who can propel your business further and faster.”
The group will host a business and personal development conference on Nov. 13- 14 in Marlboro.
“People connect to people,” Coppes said. “We believe the faster you focus on connecting the dots between who you are and what you offer, the faster you can build beneficial relationships that will bring business that serves you and your client.”
Coppes and Barbieri share a vision to help and mentor women on how to accomplish their personal and business goals.
“We have found that traditional word of mouth has been the most beneficial (aspect) to our growth,” Coppes said. “The women who have joined and have transformed their lives and business naturally tell others about the group. Our mantra is that together, we achieve more as it takes a village to grow a business.”
