Empowered Partners Episode #5: Candace Shiver - Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Shiver Law Firm and Shiver &...

Is 2022 going as you expected? Are you on track to reach your goals? Now is a perfect time to assess, prioritize and re-align. It is a great time to take stock of where you are and consider what else you need.  

This spring marks 5 years since I founded Women Willpower. In May of 2017, I did what I had previously considered to be unimaginable – I held the first Women Willpower Summit on the stage of a Performing Art Center I helped found whose doors had just opened! I accomplished these feats while simultaneously running a consulting business, moving into my first home with my husband, and sadly, as we were caring for a dear family member who transitioned out of the home where she had lived for 45+ years. The stress and strain of it all left me with health issues that thankfully are now manageable. I found success, but, at what cost?

By Angeline May, April 18, 2021

Let’s look back at where we have been to see where we are headed. In 2016, I was working as a business development and marketing consultant, helping clients reach their business goals and building implementation teams that make things happen. I own my business and work with clients in long-term engagements of 6 months to several years at a time. Many team members were fellow sole proprietors like me, who, as self-employed women, know it’s hard to juggle all the competing priorities at once. In addition to meeting client needs, some of us are daughters taking care of family members, some are mothers with expectations to help at school, many serve on a non-profit board or with community projects. It’s not easy.  

We all struggle to find balance with the competing demands. We feel a shared comradery and often help each other out. We did not solve ALL the challenges but we did come to deeply depend...

In the midst of one of the most tumultuous times in the history books, Women Willpower has not been spared the teeth-grinding stress of uncertainty. While our membership has been steadily growing over the past 2 years, our live events selling out more and more and the thank you notes continue to come in from women who have felt the power of our collective wisdom - we are still a very young organization!  Our "Founding Summit" was in May 2017 and the original 40 charter members signed on in spring of 2018!

When the shelter in place edict was ordered for Pennsylvania this past March, Women Willpower quickly shifted to an online format, holding our masterminds by zoom and weathering the technology learning curve together. So, thanks again to all of you for your patience, through trial and error, we...
