Welcome to WINS List, the personal branding newsletter for women in business.

In 2020, I founded WINS with the vision of teaching women in business how to leverage their personal brands to elevate their visibility and expand their wealth. That vision has led me to work with hundreds of incredible women across the country who are courageously leading the conversations that are important to them.

Starting today, with the help of my amazing team, I am proud to deliver WINS List to you as an extension of this vision. This monthly communication will offer sage personal branding advice along with access to opportunities that will help you expand and elevate. As the subscriber-base grows, I will continue to add high value features.

Here is what you’ll get each month:

• Featured opportunities upcoming events and awards of note — containing key information, links and deadlines

• Access to the WINS opportunity list our growing database of vetted opportunities to elevate your personal brand — for subscribers only

• Keynote roundup a listing of upcoming keynotes delivered by influential women in business

• Interviews and personal branding tips from the WINS+Wealth podcast, where I share insights and extract unfiltered success stories from women who are doing the thing

Are you excited? I am. Thank you for being a valued member of my list.

Amie Sheridan, Founder & CEO, WINS
