MAC Cohort
4-month leadership and Speaker Incubator
At MAC, we collaborate with powerful women right here in the Tri-Cities Community to bring their expertise, experiences, and their personal stories to the forefront.
We are so grateful for the contribution of our past speakers
and if you know someone who wants the
opportunity to participate simply nominate them below.
The MAC Cohort schedule consists of eight bi-weekly Wednesday events
Next Cohort starting June 3, 2026, and concluding September 9, 2026, with all sessions running from 1:00–2:30 pm. These events focus on launching new initiatives and topics like Mindset, Ability, and Composure, culminating in a panel, cohort close, and a main celebration event that is still to be determined.
The MAC Cohort: Mindset, Ability, & Composure
Transform from a hesitant speaker into a compelling, impactful leader. This comprehensive, 4-month cohort program is meticulously designed to build your public speaking foundation from the inside out:
Month 1 — Mindset: Break through limiting beliefs, embrace your unique perspective, and uncover why your specific story needs to be heard.
Month 2 — Ability: Master practical speaker skills—including structure, stage presence, delivery, and handling unpredictable Q&A sessions—in a safe, feedback-driven environment.
Month 3 — Composure: Learn to manage your energy, show up consistently when it's hard, and confidently command difficult rooms and audiences.
Month 4 — Showcase: Put your skills to the test. Step onto a real stage and apply everything you've learned in front of a live audience.
