VIRTUAL PROGRAMS FOR MEMBERS
Community Sub-Hubs
Sub-Hubs are global groups within Hera Hub that meet conveniently online to leverage the community’s collective expertise nationwide.
Each Sub-Hub is equipped with a unique roadmap of pertinent business topics and working sprints for its specific business category. The one-hour facilitated discussions are led by a fellow Hera Hub member in an area of their expertise. Members meet monthly to engage in conversations, learn tools for entrepreneurship and self-growth, get accountability in implementation of lessons learned, and stay informed on important business topics.
Regular meetings support consistent growth for entrepreneurs on a timeline that is realistic for integrating new findings into their businesses. Designed in the spirit of community, members are provided with space and opportunity for continued learning within a specific Sub-Hub, while building connections with like-minded entrepreneurs. All members are encouraged to participate in Sub-Hubs, both as participants and as presenters.

Lead Follow-up Lab
Building a consistent sales habit is the key to turning interest into income. Our Lead Follow-Up Lab is a dedicated, drop-in virtual space designed to help you prioritize the critical outreach that often gets pushed aside for general marketing tasks. This two-hour session provides the accountability you need to focus on your sales pipeline, offering a quiet environment where you can work through your leads and drive real revenue for your business. Whether you stay for twenty minutes or the full two hours, this time is about showing up for your growth and ensuring no opportunity falls through the cracks.
The Flight Deck
Ready to move from employee to expert?
The Flight Deck is a small-group, hot-seat coaching session designed to help members transition from corporate roles into confident, profitable consulting businesses.
Guided by the frameworks and lessons from Felena Hanson’s book Flight Club, one member each month takes the “pilot’s seat” to workshop — where do talents, experience, and market opportunity meet.
Fellow members are invited to participate as the crew: ask questions, share perspective, and offer accountability. Come to contribute, learn, and leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately to your own business.
IN-PERSON PROGRAMS FOR MEMBERS
Monthly Networking Happy Hours and Lunches
Every month, members have an opportunity to connect face-to-face with others at either our member-only Happy Hour or Lunch (alternates monthly). Food and drink are provided. We like to mix things up to provide a variety of experiences, so monthly events could be in our space or at an outside venue or even the outdoors! In addition to our bi-annual Business Acceleration Expo, the annual Friendsgiving potluck and Hera Hearts, which is a mastermind to help solve an organizational problem for two local nonprofit organizations.
Additionally, members often gather to eat together and learn about a relevant topic or connect more deeply with other members of the community through various forms of community lunches.
Community Conversations
A safe space to give attention to important topics, such as women’s health, building confidence, and the loneliness epidemic. The aim is to create a space where we can lean on the community to listen and lift each other up. We listen within the member community to identify a timely topic, present relevant information, and engage together through exercises and/or discussions.
Flight Club Annual Retreat
Each year Felena Hanson takes a select group of women on a unique adventure to places that allow them to step out of their business and paint a picture of an ideal future. These 4-day – 10-day retreats are an exclusive opportunity to really take your business to the next level.
The inaugural Flight Club retreat took place in Greece (2015). Since then, retreats have taken place all over the world… in Sweden, Italy, Canada, Portugal, etc. Every year we adventure to a new place!
