Hear from 5 inspiring clients as they share about their experiences as business owners and WEV program participants during this unique year.

The Spirit of Entrepreneurship is thrilled to announce Lynne Tahmisian, President of La Arcada Investment Corporation as the 2020 Rock Star: Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Tahmisian has built a successful business with her special blend of business savvy and compassion that has made La Arcada a treasured landmark on State Street.



When you walk around the historic La Arcada Court with Tahmisian you notice a lot more than the tile-lined walkways, fountains and beautiful sculptures that decorate the lush landscapes. As she introduces you to her tenants, you learn not only their name and business, but also how many kids they have and what their names and ages are. It is obvious that for Tahmisian La Arcada is more than just a business, it’s family. She considers her tenants to be her “flock” and for more than 20 years, she has kept a watchful eye to ensure the safety and welfare of the small businesses who call La Arcada home.

Marni Brook speaks with Sandra Siepak about how the Women's Economic Ventures (WEV) is supporting Ventura County businesses during the pandemic.

Communicate with Confidence

The most effective way to get what you need out of life is to convey your message clearly and persuasively. It's complicated enough to transform your thoughts into concise messages, but doing it during stressful times can seem near impossible. Whether it’s negotiating with your landlord, contracting with your vendors or drawing in your customers, learn the techniques necessary to utilize concise, persuasive communication skills to get people to agree with your ideas and follow your call to action.

Interactive webinar hosted by WEV and presented by Ita Olsen, Professional Speaking Coach and CEO & Founder of Convey Clearly, a communication consultancy.

Stores are reopening across the State but retail is not the same. This comprehensive webinar covers an extensive range of topics that you as a business owner need to know to make your retail business succeed in these unprecedented times. Areas discussed include:
• MARKETING – How will you entice customers to get back in the door, and make them feel safe shopping with you?
• STAFF – How will you compete with the incentives that are out there for unemployment? How will you bring them back in safely, and protect their health and the health of your customers?
• MERCHANDISE – What are you sitting on now, and how will you convert it to cash? What should your purchases for Fall look like?
• VENDORS – Are they ready to come back too? Are they pressuring you to pay invoices? What have they done with your orders, both for Spring and for Fall?
• FLOOR LAYOUT – How should your floor look now, and how will you set things up so customers can shop and keep proper social distancing?
• SELLING – How do you sell and keep social distance? What do we do about dressing rooms and trying on clothing? What are the alternative selling methodologies to bring into your business to satisfy demand?

No es tu estrategia, es tu capacidad: Cómo potenciar tus estrategias y resultados ampliando tu capacidad.



Como mujer ambiciosa y orientada al crecimiento, es probable que te encuentres entre muchas de nosotras que constantemente buscamos nuevas estrategias para llevar nuestras vidas, carreras y negocios al siguiente nivel. Las estrategias que se ven fantásticas escritas en tu agenda. Las estrategias que ya suenan como un gran avance cuando hablas de ellas con tus amigos.


¿Alguna vez aplicaste estas estrategias y encontraste que los resultados están lejos de lo que esperabas?
Las estrategias por sí solas no pueden llevarte a tus metas a menos que tengas la CAPACIDAD para retener, manejar y recibir todo lo que las estrategias te brindarán.


En este seminario web, la entrenadora de liderazgo Lisa Fábrega, te ayudará a descubrir cómo optimizar tres capacidades específicas y a crear un plan de acción para no solo alcanzar tu próximo nivel de éxito, sino también para navegar los desafíos en el camino con un mayor sentido de confianza y facilidad.

En esta sesión de “horario de oficina” Irene Kelly, Gerente de Programas de Educacion Financiera en WEV responde a preguntas mas comunes sobre la solicitud de la Subvención de Ayuda de California.

Acompáñanos a cerrar el año con mente, cuerpo y alma mientras celebramos nuestra resiliencia con la ayuda de Cristina Cardoso, Directora Ejecutiva de Monarch International Institute. La resiliencia es una virtud que todos poseemos y solamente necesitamos confiar en ella y usarla para salir adelante juntos. También aprenderemos como alinear mente, cuerpo y alma para enfocarnos en lo que podemos controlar y retomar nuestra visión para el 2021.
