June Women's Business Network Meeting

June 16, 2026 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM (PDT)

Description


Join us for an open and engaging conversation with acclaimed author and book coach Ellie Shoja, an Iranian-born storyteller who helps people bring their ideas and experiences to life through a proven system that makes writing not only approachable, but joyful, creative, and deeply meaningful.

This month’s discussion will explore the power of a book as a strategic marketing tool to help scale your business, expand your influence, and position yourself as an authority in your field. Whether through speaking engagements, education, consulting, or sharing your unique process and perspective, writing allows you to communicate what makes your offering truly different.

Prior to the main program, from 4:45 PM – 5:10 PM for a special book signing with Rachel Madar, founder of IDRA Wellness, spiritual advisor, lecturer, and prayer guide.

Rachel will be sharing her new book, Whispers to the Light: 340 Daily Conversations with the Creator — a heartfelt devotional filled with daily reflections, prayers, and moments of connection designed to inspire peace, gratitude, healing, and spiritual clarity.

Stop by to meet Rachel, learn more about her work, and purchase a signed copy before the meeting begins.

The main program will go over how in today’s business landscape, people are drawn to authenticity, connection, and personal service. As large corporate customer service continues to take a back seat, entrepreneurs and relationship-driven businesses are leading the way. Storytelling has become one of the most valuable skills in building trust, creating visibility, and developing a memorable personal brand.

The conversation will also touch on practical ways to begin developing your voice — from writing your bio and defining your services, to creating blogs, newsletters, and content that keeps you connected with your audience. How we communicate with the world is directly tied to our success in business.

We’ll also explore the role of AI in writing and branding — not as a replacement for authentic communication, but as a powerful tool that can support your creativity when you have clarity around your message, intentionality, and call to action.

Whether you’ve dreamed of writing a book, want to strengthen your brand presence, or simply become a more impactful communicator, this conversation will offer inspiration, insight, and actionable takeaways.

Ellie Shoja is an acclaimed author, celebrity ghostwriter, 2x TEDx speaker, and founder of International Authors Academy, where she helps her clients transform their businesses through books. 

An Iranian-born storyteller with two decades of professional writing experience, Ellie has spoken to audiences at schools, universities, conferences, and companies, and her work has been featured across major publications. Her forthcoming book Write a Book That Heals the World: A Revolutionary Writing Process for Healers Who Are Ready to Finally Be Heard (foreword by David Zucker, director of Airplane!), is the culmination of years spent helping coaches, healers, and entrepreneurs turn their expertise into career-defining books. 

Ellie’s approach is built on a simple but powerful truth: your book is your most credible business card. Her proven system goes beyond writing books — it helps her clients clarify their message, sharpen their positioning, and step into the authority their work deserves. Her business runs entirely on referrals, which tells you everything. 

If you've ever thought "I should write a book" — this is your sign to finally do it.
