What is Sip + Social?
Sip + Social is a recurring gathering for entrepreneurs, creatives and everyday changemakers who want more than surface-level networking.
It’s a relaxed but intentional space for meaningful conversation, practical business support, visibility and marketing insight, guest speakers, hot seats, accountability and real connection, while also exploring how each of us can make more of an impact in our businesses and communities.
Every Sip + Social aims to be both motivating and functional.
At each event, you can look forward to:
-
A keynote or mini masterclass
-
Meaningful business conversations
-
The Clarity Spotlight
-
Engaging group discussion
-
Opportunities for collaboration and accountability
-
Wine, coffee and light snacks
-
Time for thoughtful connection
-
Optional donations supporting a local charity
Each gathering may vary, but the core objective stays the same: to foster an environment where entrepreneurs can learn, connect, grow, and feel supported in efforts and the impact they aspire to make.

SEPTEMBER GATHERING
FROM ESSENCE TO IMPACT:
Presence, Personal Brand + Purpose for Everyday Changemakers
Your presence is often the first impression people have of your business. Long before someone reaches out, they may have already visited your website, seen your social media, heard about you through someone else, or formed a quiet sense of whether your work feels aligned for them.
In this interactive talk, Linda will explore presence, personal brand, visibility, self-expression and the human side of entrepreneurship. We’ll look at what it means to show up with more clarity, confidence and purpose, not by performing or trying to become someone else, but by becoming more aligned with who you are, what you stand for and the impact you want to make.
Together, we’ll talk about:
-
Building trust through your personal brand
-
Showing up with more clarity and presence
-
Creating a stronger online presence
-
Becoming more visible without feeling performative
-
Making meaningful connections
-
Thinking about the impact you want to make through your work and in your community
The Clarity Spotlight
We’ll also open the floor for The Clarity Spotlight, a supportive mastermind-style conversation where three guests will have the opportunity to bring forward a current business, brand, visibility, marketing or community-impact question and receive focused feedback from a few people in the room.
LINDA MACKIE
Personal Brand, Portrait + Commercial Photographer
I’ve been bringing out the best in people in my editorial style portrait photography since 2004 and can’t imagine doing anything else.
As a photographer, image-maker, content creator, visual artist, wife and mom, animal and nature advocate, and promoter of making a difference in the world, I believe images tell inspiring stories and speak for us when we can’t be there in person.
It’s my mission to help you grow your business and share your unique message to the world through compelling and timeless imagery that connects with others at the heart level.
