I’ll diagnose a real website live using my 17-point Site Scorecard\, then walk you through diagnosing your own on the spot. By the end\, you’ll know exactly what’s broken and how to rebuild it yourself using modern AI website-building tools\, no code and no developer required. \nEvent Details\nDate: October 28th\, 2026 \nTime: 11:00am-12:30pm\nLocation: Launch SA\, 600 Soledad st\, San Antonio TX 78205 \nFree 3hr Parking \nSpeaker Bio: Cynthia Marshall is a Digital Business Architect based in San Antonio\, helping small business owners build websites that actually drive results\, not just look good. Before founding her own practice\, she spent over 20 years in financial services\, HR consulting\, and EdTech partnerships\, work that taught her how to diagnose what’s actually broken in a business and fix it. Today she combines AI-powered website audits with hands-on\, no-code rebuilds\, so business owners can finally get out of expensive developer relationships and take control of their own digital presence. She’s also the founder of Freedom After 40\, a coaching platform helping women over 40 build lives of purpose and freedom on their own terms. Cynthia holds an Executive MBA from UTSA.

SUMMARY:Women's Leadership Summit: Beyond Limits
DESCRIPTION:BEYOND LIMITS \nChallenge the limits. Expand your thinking. Lead boldly.  \nJoin NAWBO San Antonio for an unforgettable keynote with astronaut and trailblazer Col. Eileen Collins\, the first woman to pilot and command a U.S. space shuttle. Through her keynote\, Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars\, she will share the courage\, leadership and determination it took to break barriers and redefine what was possible. Attendees will leave inspired to challenge their own limits\, lead with confidence and reach higher in business and life. \n\n \nSpeaker: Jess Rodriguez \nTitle: When the Story Changes: Using Curiosity to Navigate What’s Next \nEvery entrepreneur has a story. But the chapters that shape us most are rarely the ones we planned. \nWhether it’s an unexpected opportunity\, a business pivot\, a difficult decision\, or a season that challenges who we thought we were\, change has a way of rewriting the story. While we can’t control every chapter\, we can choose how we respond to it. \nIn this highly interactive session\, participants will explore why curiosity is one of the most valuable skills we can develop as leaders\, business owners\, and individuals navigating change. Through engaging discussion\, experiential learning\, and practical reflection\, we’ll uncover how curiosity helps us challenge assumptions\, expand our thinking\, and approach change with greater confidence and intention. Attendees will leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to navigate change\, make thoughtful decisions\, and intentionally shape the next chapter of their story. \nKey Takeaways: \n1. Recognize how curiosity helps them navigate change instead of feeling stuck by it.  \n2. Discover how to move beyond limiting assumptions and embrace new possibilities.  \n3. Leave with practical tools to confidently step into (and help shape) the next chapter of their story. \nTICKETS: \n\nBook Sponsor (2 tickets) – $2\,000.00\n– 2 tickets – Premimum Seating – Social Media Spotlight – Event Spotlight – Logo on event materials – Vendor Table\n\nEarly Bird Ticket – $97.00\n\n\nEvent Sponsor (4 tickets) – $3\,000.00\n– 4 tickets\n– Premimum Seating\n– Social Media Spotlight\n– Event Spotlight\n– Logo on event materials\n– Vendor Table\n\nSurprise & Delight Sponsor (1 Ticket) – $750.00\n-1 Ticket\n-Event Spotlight\n-Logo on event materials\n\nTicket – $127.00\n\n\nTitle Sponsor (8 tickets) – $5\,000.00\n– 8 tickets\n– Premium Seating\n– Social Media Spotlight\n– Event Spotlight\n– Logo on event materials\n– Vendor Table\n\nVendor Table (2 tickets) – $700.00\n– 2 tickets\n– Vendor Table\n– Logo on event materials\n\nVIP Table (8 tickets) – $1\,200.00\n– 8 tickets\n– Premium Seating
