Calling all CEOs, founders, and business owners!

without wasting your time or spending a bundle on outside consultants.
Want the world to know about your business?
The Founder Federation Masterclass is a workshop lead by Melissa McFarlane and Jess Joswick for business owners like you who are ready to learn how to make their new or existing businesses take off FAST.
Get ready to:
- Attract better clients or customers
- Meet smart, savvy peers ready to help you grow
- Prioritize what's profitable
- Learn marketing on a bootstrapped budget
- Avoid expensive mistakes
- Calm your overwhelmed mind
- Stop your analysis paralysis and let your good ideas flow
“...extraordinary coaching on both the business strategies AND the personal development work you need to have a profitable business.”
—Michelle Lange, M Lange Media
What's the Founder Federation Masterclass?
This Masterclass is a unique lunchtime event for business owners who are ready to launch their new ideas or scale and grow an existing business.
OPPORTUNITY IS CALLING.
Each of our meetings is full of opportunity: to improve in one new arena of business management, to connect with other business owners, and to build a company that's profitable, mission-driven, and fun.
LEARN WITH US.
Guided by veteran Executive Business Coach Melissa McFarlane and Business Coach Jess Joswick, you’ll learn how to level up your business no matter how much experience you have running the show.
Our day includes:
Supported Networking
Engage effortlessly with others in the group with our (dare we say fun?) guided networking.
Energizing Training
You’re skilled in your craft, not running the show. Learn about one critical part of running your business, like effortless sales, packaging and pricing that make the 'yes' easy, or marketing funnels that convert and delight.
Hotseat Coaching
Our Founder Federation members get a chance to brainstorm with Melissa and Jess in an extended live coaching session.
Want actionable guidance that really works?
Looking for a community of people who have the same challenges in their businesses as you do?
Need a little bit of coaching without getting into a long-term contract?
We get it.
We designed this Masterclass just for owners like you.
Join us and get started on your next chapter!

—Kristina Kury
"Watching Melissa and Jess take a problem from a fellow member in the Masterclass and think aloud how to solve it, and then create a solution all in a matter of minutes, is fascinating! It's really exciting to see how they think and watch them turn a problem into a positive for us."
