Professional Women's Club of Chicago

From Nervous Networker to Confident Connector: How PWCC Creates Lasting Relationships At the Professional Women’s Club of Chicago (PWCC), we understand that networking can be intimidating. Walking into a room full of new people—especially as a business owner or professional looking to expand connections—can feel overwhelming. Keli Frazier-Cox, PWCC’s Individual Sponsor and an active member, knows this feeling all too well. When she attended her first PWCC luncheon, she wasn’t sure what to expect. Would anyone talk to her? Would she fit in? But within minutes, she realized that PWCC is different. Here, networking isn’t about surface-level conversations—it’s about building real, lasting relationships. Since joining, Keli has transformed from someone who once avoided networking to someone who truly enjoys it. Through PWCC, she has connected with clients, collaborators, and a supportive community that has helped her refine her messaging, grow her business, and build meaningful professional friendships. ✨ Exclusive Offer for PWCC Members: As part of her sponsorship, Keli is offering 10% off a 3-month coaching engagement! Whether you want to strengthen your leadership skills, improve team collaboration, or develop personally and professionally, Keli provides customized coaching to help you succeed.

Our community is built on support, growth, and empowerment—so you don’t have to navigate it alone.

During yesterday's luncheon at the Union League Club of Chicago, Kim Morreale McAuliffe of Morreale Communications sparked an important conversation about the power of "we" in our career journeys and daily lives. A few takeaways that stuck with us: ✨ It's okay to not know what you want to do, as long as you have an idea of what you like. Build your foundation, brick by brick. Anything is possible with a vision, dedication, and time. ✨ Having a goal is important, but being too rigid will cause you to miss out on interesting and potentially life-changing opportunities. Stay open. ✨ Take the time to have meaningful conversations with people and create real, authentic connections. Nothing can replace the power of meeting, spending time, or even making an ask in person. Feeling inspired? May's luncheon will feature Google's Liora Gross discussing one of our most requested topics: Thriving as a Leader in the AI Era. You won't want to miss this one!
