Weekly Member Coffee Hour
Open to Empower Network Members
Weekly on Wednesdays, 12pm Central US
(6pm GMT, 1pm Eastern US, 12pm Central US, 10am Pacific US)
Our Virtual Coffee Hours are relaxed Zoom gatherings for people figuring out work, business, and career paths while living with chronic illness or disability.
Each week we bring a simple discussion question related to work, entrepreneurship, or navigating careers with fluctuating health.
Cameras are optional, energy levels can vary, and showing up exactly as you are is completely normal. It’s simply a space to connect with others who understand what it’s like to build a professional life around real-life health limits.
