SUMMARY:A Radical New Approach to Goal-Setting
DESCRIPTION:Most of us approach the new year the same way: make resolutions\, set ambitious goals\, and hope this year will be different. To be honest\, it’s a model that sets us up for failure from the beginning (so much so that New Year’s resolutions have become cliché). \nWhat if the traditional way we think about goal-setting is wrapped up in stories and systems that don’t actually work for most people? \nJoin us for an interactive workshop inspired by Tara McMullin’s book What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal-Setting. This isn’t your typical goal-setting session. Instead of pushing harder or being more disciplined\, we’ll explore a framework that helps you set goals aligned with who you are and the constraints you’re actually working within. \nWhat makes this approach different? \nRather than adopting goals that worked for someone else or following a one-size-fits-all formula\, this framework helps you understand the systems and stories that shape your work\, and use that awareness to set goals that actually fit your life and values. \nIn this one-hour session\, you’ll: \n\nWatch an illustrated book review that breaks down the key concepts from What Works in an engaging\, visual format\nExplore thought-provoking prompts through guided journaling and optional group discussion about what goal-setting can look like when it’s built around your reality\nLeave with a new perspective on how to approach 2026 with clarity and intention\, free from the pressure of traditional resolutions\n\nYou don’t need to have read the book to participate\, but it might be helpful to check out this illustrated review in preparation.

SUMMARY:Identify Your Priorities with the New Maple Website Assessment Tool
DESCRIPTION:Most business owners feel overwhelmed by their website because they’re trying to do everything at once. \nYou know your website needs work\, but what are the priorities? Should you focus on design? Write better copy? Fix your tech? When everything feels important\, it’s nearly impossible to prioritize. \nThat’s why we created Build Your Website Essentials (BYWE)\, a framework and assessment tool that helps you identify your highest leverage priorities. \nWhat makes this approach different? \nThe BYWE Framework breaks your website success into 16 specific\, learnable skills across four pillars: Strategy\, Content\, Design\, and Tools. Instead of feeling like you need to master everything\, you’ll see exactly which skills you’ve already developed and which ones deserve your attention next. \nIn this live session\, you’ll learn: \n\nHow the 4 BYWE skills work together to create websites that build trust and connection (and why mastering just a few can transform your results)\nWhere you currently stand by taking the Skills Assessment live and discovering your strongest areas and biggest opportunities\nYour personalized next steps based on your assessment results\, so you can focus your energy where it matters most\n\nBy the end of the session\, you’ll know exactly where to focus your effort for the biggest impact on your website.

SUMMARY:How Websites Are Changing
DESCRIPTION:The digital landscape is shifting faster than ever. AI tools are transforming how websites are built\, updated\, and managed\, seemingly overnight. As a website owner\, you’re caught in a tricky position: you need to stay current with technology without becoming a full-time developer\, and you can’t afford to wait days (and pay high fees) every time you need a simple update. \nLuckily\, you don’t need to choose between expensive agency support and going it alone. There’s a third way that gives you knowledge\, community\, and the confidence to make smart decisions about your website. \nWhat makes coaching different? Group coaching operates as a “done with you” model—not done for you (like an agency) or done by you alone (DIY). You get hands-on support while you learn\, a community of peers working through similar challenges\, and most importantly\, you develop the discernment to know when you can handle something yourself and when it’s time to bring in a professional. \nIn this workshop\, you’ll learn: \n\nHow AI and rapid tech changes are impacting your website right now\, and what you actually need to stay on top of it.\nThe core skills website owners need to make basic updates independently and avoid the constant back-and-forth with developers.\nHow group coaching mitigates risk by giving you a trusted community and expert guidance to help you make confident decisions about your site.\n\nIf you’re a course creator\, community builder\, or educator who wants to stay current with your website without the overwhelm or constant expense\, this workshop will show you how coaching can be your sustainable path forward.

SUMMARY:The One Page Trust-Building Website
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive workshop to build a website for your service in 1-hour flat. In this ‘build it together’ workshop you can follow along while I setup a website for Laurie Roe\, a massage therapist in Ithaca\, NY who needs a simple website that attracts the right clients. \nBackstory: My friend Laurie called me to discuss a website project. Just a simple website for her massage business. Marketing this kind of service (actually\, any kind of service but especially massage) is about building trust with your visitors – so we don’t need anything complex or frilly\, just enough to create familiarity by letting Laurie’s personality and craft shine through. \nWhat she really needed was one simple page\, a photo or two\, a few testimonials from happy clients\, a clear description of what she offers\, and a way for people to reach her. \nSo here’s what we’re doing: I’m building Laurie’s website live\, in this workshop\, and you’re invited to follow along and build yours at the same time. \nIn this build-it-together workshop\, you’ll: \n\nWatch me create a real website for a real person (Laurie) in real time\nFollow along by adding content to your own Maple 1-Page Website Plan\nLearn a simple\, repeatable process you can use for any service-based business\n\nWhat to bring: \n\nPhotos of yourself or your work\nA short description of your services\nA few testimonials from past clients\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you’ll walk away with a completed PDF that you can use to advertise your business—even if you don’t have a live website yet. \nIf you’ve been putting off launching a website because it feels overwhelming or too complicated\, this is for you. Let’s keep it simple and get you unstuck.

SUMMARY:Audit Your Tools
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations and founders are using too many apps. New tools hit the market all the time\, promising to lighten the labor and cost burdens of running an online business. \nToo often\, though\, our systems end up with lots of clutter\, redundancy\, and hidden subscription creep that burns both our time and money (and patience). \nThat’s why Maple regularly audits our software suite so that it does exactly what we need it to – no more\, and no less. That way\, our team can spend time on meaningful work\, not clicking around. \nWhat you’ll learn\n\nHow to know when it’s time to audit your software suite.\nHow to choose the right tool for the job while limiting redundancy.\nThe exact tools that we use every day to run our marketing and operations while keeping us sane.\n\nIf you are a founder\, course creator\, or run an online business\, this workshop is for you. Bring a quick list of your current tools and what each is “hired” to do. If you have pricing or usage stats\, even better. You’ll leave with a shortlist of high‑leverage fixes you can implement this week.

SUMMARY:Marketing Without Social Media or Paid Ads
DESCRIPTION:There’s no point in getting things done if you’re doing the wrong things. When it comes to marketing\, most people are focused on things they think they should be doing\, not what actually moves them closer to their goals. \n​“How many times a day should I post?” “What kind of font should I use on my website?” “Is my logo good enough?” \n​Phew! That’s a lot of details to keep track of\, especially when you’re busy. You can let go of 99% of those questions and move forward with clarity when you have a strategy. \n​For the past 7 years I’ve helped grow audiences and launch online programs without ever using social media or paid ads. Yes\, it’s possible to attract the right people without annoying anyone in the process. \n​Who this is for: \n\n​Anyone who juggles responsibility of outreach alongside everything else (and is tired of mainstream tactics)\n​Creatives\, consultants\, and service businesses that are looking to get more clients\n\n​Let’s build your strategy together – one that is generous and centered around your values.

SUMMARY:Deeper Foundations for Creative Growth
DESCRIPTION:Community Builders often struggle with operations and systems that slow them down. That’s why Jessica Lackey (our guest for this episode) teaches workflows and systems to help creatives unlock flow and support sustainable practices. \nJessica Lackey bridges traditional business practices with human-centric approaches through her community\, Deeper Business Foundations\, specifically helping creators with their operations. \nI’m personally interested in this because of my own struggles with creativity\, and focus\, and prioritization. If it weren’t for systems\, I don’t think I would be able to achieve anything meaningful. This isn’t about becoming obsessed with productivity! It’s about taking leadership and making space for what matters.

SUMMARY:Write Compelling Event Descriptions
DESCRIPTION:Your event description should do more than list the details—it should compel people to show up. \n\nIn this copywriting-forward session\, we’ll share techniques to write descriptions that inspire curiosity\, answer their biggest questions\, and increase registrations. \n\nWhen you do it wrong\, your description will be vague and uninspiring. Or\, you’ll simply set the wrong expectations and attract the wrong people. It’s fine to list topics\, but make sure you are also speaking to the real needs of your audience. \n\nWhen you do this right\, you’ll be able to grow an engaged audience around your work – replacing gimmicky “lead magnets” with events that bring people together and provide value.\nWhat you’ll learn\nMy goal is to give you a framework and writing prompts template you can use for your next event description. Here are the 3 core things we’ll share.\n\nWriting for relevance – make every event feel like the right time to join\, even mid-series.\nAnswering hidden objections – handle the unspoken doubts about value\, cost\, or purpose.\nMatching descriptions to event types – adapt your language for workshops\, webinars\, panels\, and community gatherings.\n\nOf course\, there are general copywriting techniques as well. But we’re trying to keep this simple and actionable for everyone.\nWhy we host free workshops\nOur production calendar is booked! And all the cool stuff we’re building for clients is a perfect chance to teach something. This gives us a chance to practice\, level up our skills\, and also uphold our own values around bringing people together. \n\nThese weekly workshops are free for clients and subscribers of our newsletter Super Connectors. You’ll see some of the regulars along with special guests and others dropping in to see what we’re building. We’re facilitators\, leaders\, founders\, organizers\, and course creators.\nFAQs\n\nWill this event be recorded? Yes\, register anyway and you’ll get the recording plus the event description checklist you can use for every future event.\nWhy are 1/5 of your events free? Because we love doing it and because we need practice. We’re trying to be the best we can be. Liz and I have a lot of work going on behind the scenes\, and we want it to have even more value so we started this weekly workshop series.\nWhere can I watch the recording? All registrants will receive access to the recording via email within 24 hours after the event.\nHow can I prepare? Come with an upcoming event in mind that you’d like to create a description for. Or just come with your curiosity to get inspired about hosting events.\nWhat if I’m a beginner\, will this be applicable? Absolutely! This workshop is designed for all experience levels\, from beginners to seasoned event hosts. Shifting into hosting live programs that bring people together is a path toward resilience these days.

SUMMARY:Sales Page Makeover & ROI Strategy Lab
DESCRIPTION:You’ve built something that helps people. You’ve done the hard work of showing up with care\, building trust\, and creating an offer that matters. \n\n\n\nBut if your sales page isn’t clearly communicating that—if it’s not helping people recognize the value you’re offering—you might be losing connection where it matters most. \n\n\n\nIn this hands-on\, high-touch workshop (Space is limited)\, we’ll improve the one page that most influences your business’s ability to grow: the page where people decide whether your offer is for them. \n\n\n\nThis isn’t about persuasion. It’s about clarity.This isn’t about pressure. It’s about resonance. \n\n\n\nYes\, we’ll talk about conversion—but only in the technical sense. The percentage of people who visit the sales page on your website who sign up for your offer. \n\n\n\nWhat we’re really improving is your connection rate: the number of people who visit your site and feel ready to say yes. Not just because you convinced them\, but because they are both a good fit\, and they understand the value of the opportunity you’re giving them.  \n\n\n\nYou’ll walk away with: \n\n\n\n\nA clearer\, stronger message that reflects your values\n\n\n\nA structure that guides the right people toward your offer\n\n\n\nPersonalized feedback on what builds trust—and what creates friction\n\n\n\nSimple changes that help your site support more ease\, clarity\, and growth\n\n\n\nA revised brand and style guide for your website content\n\n\n\n\nIf you’re ready for your sales page to start working as hard as you do\, I’d love to support you in this. \n\n\n\nRegister today. Space is limited for this small-group workshop.

SUMMARY:Create Your Digital Business Card (with Gravatar)
DESCRIPTION:“Uhhh… Excuse me\, but what is a Gravatar?” \nSo glad you asked! A Gravatar\, aka Globally Recognized Avatar\, is a tool that integrates with platforms like WordPress\, Slack\, Kit\, Gmail\, and more\, to help you show up consistently and professionally across the internet. \nYour Gravatar profile includes a photo\, short bio\, and simple landing page. Having one can help save you the time and hassle of manually uploading this information on every blog post you publish or profile you create. \nMore importantly\, showing up consistently sends trust signals to your readers\, increasing engagement and searchability. \nIn this 2-part workshop\, Ryan and Liz will provide a short training before we set up and complete our Gravatars in real time. \nFor Part 1\, Liz will demonstrate how to use copywriting techniques to create a concise\, intriguing\, and value-driven bio. Then\, we’ll have a chance to write\, share\, and edit them together. \nIn Part 2\, Ryan will go over profile set up and show us how to add a photo and text\, connect our Gravatr to accounts we’re already using\, and create a simple landing page. \nBy the end of this workshop\, you’ll have: \n\nA well-written\, human-centered bio\nA polished online presence that shows up wherever you do\nA simple landing page you can share and link to\n\nWe hope you can join us!

SUMMARY:Write Your Home Page with Liz Pickard
DESCRIPTION:​📣 From the last workshop: “Liz is the Michelangelo of copywriters! I find it hard to write about myself. Liz helped me hone my effort to reveal the essence of what I wanted to convey — and say it in a way that I felt comfortable.” \n​ \n​You’ve probably heard that “everyone needs a website these days” (likely from a giant tech corporation selling websites 🤔). \n​But simply having one isn’t going to magically get you to your goals – whether its raising your prices\, getting more gigs\, building your fan base\, etc. \n​In fact\, now that you do have a website\, you might be feeling like it’s a pointless waste of money since it seems to just languish uselessly in some dark corner of the internet. \n​If that’s the case\, your website could be suffering from bad copywriting 😱. Because the words on your home page matter\, like\, A LOT. \n​In fact\, copywriting is one of the highest leverage tools in your website toolbox — which\, I assume\, no one has ever mentioned (certainly not the big tech companies when they’re takin’ yo money 😤). \n​Sound familiar? Then this workshop is definitely for YOU! \n​We’re going to tackle the absolute basics of copywriting\, so you can feel confident that the words on your home page do exactly what you need them to. \n​Here’s what we’ll cover: \n\n​What good copy writing “does” any why most writing “does not” (lol)\n​How to instantly sound like a professional so you can feel confident in raising your prices\n​How to speak directly to the people you want to serve\n​How to focus your writing around a singular call to action\n​Anticipating and addressing objections that would prevent someone from doing XYZ (your call to action)\n​How to use stories to build trust\n\n​Liz will take you through the anatomy of their own homepage to explain the strategy and skill behind each written section. \n​Then\, we’ll workshop our own copy using the exact template that Liz uses to write high-performing home pages for their clients (this usually costs $800). \n​By the end\, you’ll have an outline and some basic skills for completing your home page on your own. \n​Join us to learn more about this high-leverage skill! \n​And may your website never languish again 😌
