ROUNDTABLES

Dream Driven is a quarterly roundtable series where small business owners come together for real talk and real progress. We trade the noise of networking for something better — meaningful conversation, tangible problem-solving, and genuine community. Every attendee gets dedicated time to share a business hurdle, and the group collaborates with feedback, experience, and resources.

No pitches. No fluff. Just action.

SO, WHAT AM I GETTING MYSELF INTO?

Upon registration you will be prompted to enter your business or expertise and three challenges or tasks you are tackling in your business that you would want to discuss at the roundtable. This allows me to curate tables where participant skills might best support one another. Each participant will have 20 minutes to deep dive into as many topics as they can get to, receiving feedback from their peers at the table. You will walk away with tangible action items to tackle in your business.
Light bites, refreshments and swag are provided at each event. We do our best to highlight sponsors and encourage attendees to tag sponsors in their social media posts about the event. Interested in sponsoring or donating swag? Reach out!
We try to keep events affordable and accessible. Most roundtables are between $40-$60 a ticket. This includes your spot at the table, worksheet, light bites, refreshments and swag.
We welcome any and all entrepreneurs who own their own business. Your business is your full time gig (or close to it!) and you are working to build your brand. Because this event is both receiving advice and giving advice, we try to stick to participants who are in the same boat and do not usually accept MLMs or individuals whose business is a ‘side gig’. While our branding is, yes, often stereotypically female leaning, we welcome all genders and ages.
Thanks for asking! We’d love to hear what you have to offer. These events do not happen without our generous sponsors of food, non alcoholic refreshments, swag and venue. Click here to learn more and to collaborate with us and support a community of small business owners.

How it started ~

Over the course of 15 years of running a business, Michelle developed a passion is to share advice with other entrepreneurs who wish to learn from her experiences. Her vision for DREAM | DRIVEN was to provide a space for fellow business owners to do the same. In 2018, she launched Dream Driven Roundtables to provide a space that moved away from basic networking and embraced the idea of an event where advice was shared, problems were solved and action items were created.

Michelle cultivated a community of entrepreneurs, leading events of 40-50 business owners. Tables were curated by Michelle ahead of time, grouping together individuals who were most likely to be able to advise one another by using a questionnaire upon registration to gather topics and expertise. Most importantly, each participant is given a full 20 minutes to discuss and get feedback on their particular topics from their table mates. Gone were the days of small talk and chit chat. At Dream Driven, tasks were tackled and plans were mapped out.

Dream Driven roundtables led to brand collaborations, partnerships and friendships that have lasted for years. While roundtables wrapped up with the start of the pandemic and Michelle’s move across the country, she is currently launching East Coast DREAM DRIVEN roundtables in Boston!
