• The $5 Trillion Problem Nobody's Talking About
    Jul 6 2026

    Women aren't underperforming, they're leaving $5 trillion on the table every single year. Kolleen Chesley, founder of Powerful Women Synergized and the nonprofit Powerful Women Collective, is on a mission to close that gap.

    Kolleen shares how a hurricane accidentally birthed her nonprofit back in 2004, why she made the tough call to burn it down and rebuild it during COVID, and the practical, often-overlooked ways women can close the power gap without working harder: business grants most entrepreneurs don't even know exist, a simple tech upgrade that can boost profitability by 10% overnight, and the power of collaboration over going it alone.

    Connect with Kolleen on LinkedIn to learn more about her Power Up Your Tech program, Collab Up sessions, and upcoming retreats.
