About Connect The Dots Collective

Meet the Founder:

Hi, I'm Denise Strong Schmidt

 I've spent over 4 decades creating successful businesses and non-profit organizations. And I've learned three things that every woman in business needs to understand.

What you do isn't nearly as important as who you are.

What you know doesn't mean much if you don't share it.

The connections you make will take you further than anything you do on your own.

If you’re tired of having business cards thrown at you or getting one of those awful "Hey, Girl!" messages to buy stuff, you’re not alone! I’m tired of it, too !

Instead, I’m committed to putting together circles of women professionals and entrepreneurs that are a lot deeper than "regular" networking. The kind of relationships you can lean into, the cultivation of supportive friendships between women who understand and share your focus on success, can be a reality in a networking zone that usually puts an emphasis on quantity over quality.  

Connect The Dots Collective does things a little differently.

We care more about who you become than what you sell.  If this sounds like something you relate to, we should talk about how your next networking group should Connect The Dots for you, too.
