The Event For Canadian
Women in Business
📅 Friday, April 23rd 2027
📍 River’s Edge Event Venue, Paris, Ontario
👥 Limited to 100 Entrepreneurs
The most common compliment we get after WAVE events is how easy it is to be in the community of women that we cultivate.
This event will be the opposite of stiff, uncomfortable and draining networking! We are here to be REAL, to learn TOP BUSINESS STRATEGIES and to have a day filled with CONNECTION, NEW OPPORTUNITIES, AND FUN!
Meet Our Speakers
(More Will Be Announced Soon!)
Zayna Rose
Personal Brand Strategist & Communications Consultant for Executives, Founders & Artists
The First Impression Is the Pitch: Be Seen, Be Trusted, Be Recommended
You can be at the top of your field and still have a first impression that doesn't show it. Zayna breaks down how to close that gap, so the way you show up previews your expertise and pre-sells your offer before you ever get on a call. She'll cover what leadership positioning means now, how to communicate authentically as a host or guest (this isn't about fame, it's about star power you can use), and why media appearances are one of the fastest ways to grow your brand.
She'll also tackle the new frontier: AI visibility. Is AI blind to you, does it know you but tell a confusing story, or does it actively recommend you? You'll leave knowing where you stand, and what to create as a leadership positioning showcase, whether or not you ever want to host or guest on a show.
Joy McCarthy
Nutritionist, Author & Founder of Joyous Health and Hello Joyous
Pivot, Evolve, Stay You: 15+ Years of Building a Brand Around a Real Person
Joy launched Joyous Health in 2009 as a nutrition coach running in-person seminars. Today, she's a best-selling cookbook author, podcast host, regular health expert on Canadian TV, and co-founder (with her husband, Walker) of the organic beauty brand Hello Joyous. Along the way she has pivoted more than once, and her personal brand has grown with each shift.
In this honest, behind-the-scenes talk, Joy shares what it takes to keep a personal brand authentic as your business changes: the pros and cons of writing cookbooks, how a side hustle became 95% of her work, what it's like to build a business with your spouse, and how to be both a mom and an entrepreneur in the public eye. You'll walk away knowing that your brand doesn't have to stay the same, but it does have to stay you.
Ola Adeyemi
Certified Business Coach & Six Sigma Consultant, ActionCoach Alpha
The Business Case for Your Personal Brand: Making It Profitable, Scalable & Sustainable
A personal brand only works as a growth strategy if it's built on solid numbers and systems. With 16+ years of business experience, Ola helps 6-figure service businesses and healthcare providers unlock revenue growth by fixing the numbers, systems, and decisions holding them back.
In this session, she shows you how to treat your personal brand as a strategic business initiative: where to invest your time, how to measure what it adds to your revenue, and how to build systems so your brand scales without you burning out or running everything yourself. If you've wondered what your personal brand is really worth in dollars, this is the talk that answers it.

Most women think that the biggest financial leap will come from that fresh website, that one Instagram Post or buying a new course.
However, in our experience, it is actually the community that you surround yourself with that starts the WAVE of momentum in business growth.

New to WAVE? You’ll fit RIGHT in!
We’re Kelsey & Emily. Entrepreneurs, mamas, health-nuts, and community builders who live and breathe the values that the WAVE community was built on: Wealth, Ambition, Vision & Energy (W.A.V.E!)
We started this community in 2022 because we wanted to hold the duality between being high-performing entrepreneurs but also creating space for all of the other ambitions in our lives.
As both mothers and entrepreneur, we love the integration of both roles and genuinely believe they can exist harmoniously.
No matter what stage of life you’re in, we know you don't want to compromise - and that’s why we created this group
You deserve a day to surround yourself with Ontario’s best female entrepreneurs! See you there.
