In Person Networking Event – WHCM is Back!
We are thrilled to announce that WHCM is holding an in person, outdoor summer patio networking event for members and nonmembers at Jake n Joe’s in Waltham.
This is our first in person event since COVID! It’s time to reconnect and network with our friends, colleagues, and acquaintances and meet new ones at this very fun filled event!

Power of Vision with Julia Gentry
It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see. We are in a time where vision is more important than ever before. The greatest obstacle around having a vision is not what we know about it but rather, what we think we know that just isn’t so. There is so much power in vision and yet, so many of us do not bear its fruit in our lives… UNTIL NOW!
Join WHCM for an impactful virtual session as Julia Gentry, founder of the Dream Factory and Co., guides us through transformational principles around understanding vision while giving us each the chance to craft a greater vision for 2022.
Maximize Your LinkedIn Potential
We’re thrilled to have Katherine Kent return to WHCM to provide an exciting advanced LinkedIn virtual learning session.
Katherine is an experienced career coach who for years has taught numerous clients ways to use LinkedIn to showcase their profile, expertise, and achievements while increasing their connections and strengthening their online professional brand.
Let’s face it, social media is a crowded space. Did you know that LinkedIn currently has over 700 million members in over 200 countries? In this session, Katherine will share ways for you to use LinkedIn to its maximum potential and to your advantage.
