What Shadow Participants Say

"Shadowing Layal at the Federal Contracting Summit was worth 10 times what I paid. The introductions alone opened doors I couldn't have accessed on my own. I've already secured two prime contractor relationships directly from connections made that week."

Jennifer Thompson

Construction Services

"I've attended industry events before, but always felt like an outsider. Walking in with Layal completely changed the experience. People treated me differently because of the association. The networking strategies I learned that day transformed how I approach every event now."

Rebecca Johnson

IT Services Provider

"The pre-event strategy call, shadowing throughout the event, and post-event follow-up made this so much more than just attending a conference. Layal taught me HOW to network effectively, not just who to meet. Game-changer for my business."

Engineering Firm Owner

Shadow Program FAQs

Why is this limited to 2 people per event?

To ensure you receive personalized attention and meaningful introductions. With only 1-2 shadow participants, Layal can properly introduce you to contacts, provide real-time coaching, and ensure you're not just observing but actively engaged.

Do I need to be certified already?

No, but you should be actively pursuing certification or already certified. This experience is most valuable for women entrepreneurs who are serious about federal contracting and ready to build strategic relationships.

What's included in the $3,500 investment?

Everything: event registration, pre-event strategy call, full-day shadowing access, personal introductions, networking coaching, VIP reception access (when applicable), debrief sessions, follow-up templates, and post-event support call. Travel and accommodations are not included.

How much time will I actually spend with Layal?

You'll be with Layal throughout the event day(s) - from morning briefing through end-of-day debrief. For multi-day events, this could be 8-10 hours per day of access, observation, and coaching.

What if I'm shy or uncomfortable networking?

Perfect! That's exactly why this experience is valuable. You'll learn by observing Layal, receive real-time coaching, and she'll facilitate introductions so you don't have to approach people cold. Many participants find this transforms their networking confidence.

Can I bring a business partner or colleague?

Each spot must be purchased separately. If both of you want to attend, you'll need to apply individually and each pay the $3,500 investment. This ensures both receive full attention and coaching.

Experience What It's Like to Command Attention

This is your opportunity to walk alongside someone who's already where you want to be. See firsthand how Layal networks, positions herself, and opens doors—then apply those strategies to your own business.

Spots are extremely limited. When they're gone, you'll have to wait for the next event.
