Embark on an exciting journey at the Henderson Chamber orientation — an exclusive event crafted to reveal the boundless potential of your membership. Whether you're a seasoned member or new to the chamber, our commitment to enhancing resources ensures that your business not only survives but thrives.

Did you know we offer cutting-edge programs for both professional and personal development? As your collective voice, we passionately advocate for pro-business policies driving economic growth, job creation, and fresh opportunities for your organization.

But that's not all! Join us at our virtual event to network, connect with fellow members, and explore untapped business opportunities. It's more than an orientation—it's a chance to discover how we can amplify success for you and your company.

Learn to use the Three R’s of storytelling, Raw, Real, and Relevant, to build trust, connect with your audience, and move people to act.

There’s a reason we tell stories. It’s the most effective way to move your audience as they begin to know you, grow to like you, and eventually trust you. Once that trust is established, people are far more likely to follow your lead because they see you as a guide.

Building trust takes time, but when your message lacks clarity or connection, your audience can stall and miss the opportunity to let you help solve their problem. That’s where the value of your storytelling matters.

Increasing the value of your storytelling comes down to what my buddy, Peter Lynch, teaches as The Three 3’s of Storytelling:

Raw — Being vulnerable with your audience shows a willingness to share from the heart.
Real — The stories you tell are grounded in truth, not exaggerated or embellished.
Relevant — Your story connects to something your audience can relate to.

Join me on Thursday, May 21 at 12:00 PM for this month’s Storytelling Workshop, where you’ll learn how to apply these principles and strengthen the way you communicate so your message builds trust and moves people to act.

This is a free live workshop at Launchpad, Findlay Automotive Seminar Room. Seating is limited.

If you've ever left a networking event with a stack of cards you'll never follow up on and zero real connections, you already know something needs to change.

The Break Your Bullsh it Box Roundtable is a monthly, structured networking experience hosted by Success Development Solutions and designed around how humans actually build trust. This isn't a mixer. There's no awkward mingling, no forced small talk, and no "we should grab coffee" conversations that go nowhere.

Every seat at this table has a purpose. The format is built around human behavior and the way people actually open up, connect, and build relationships that go beyond the room. You'll walk away with connections that mean something, a fresh perspective on how you show up professionally, and the kind of momentum that doesn't stop when the event does.

This event is for Henderson and Las Vegas area professionals who are ready to show up differently, connect more deeply, and build real business relationships with intention.

Join us for our May HCC Networking Mixer at Lexie’s Bistro! Connect with fellow Henderson Chamber members on their charming covered outdoor patio while enjoying delicious appetizers, happy hour–priced cocktails, and a welcoming atmosphere perfect for building new relationships.

Whether you’re looking to make fresh connections, strengthen existing ones, or simply unwind after the workday, this mixer is the perfect opportunity to mix, mingle, and grow your network. Come ready to connect and make the most of a fun evening with fellow professionals!

Ready to stop letting your excuses run the show?

This 4-hour, live Success Accelerator is your no-fluff, no-apologies wake-up call to finally get out of your own damn way. Led by Amber Fuhriman—recovering attorney, Success Architect, and author of Break Your Bullsht Box*—this event is designed to help high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and ambitious professionals like you eliminate internal roadblocks and create tangible, external results.

This isn’t your average motivation-fest. You’ll walk away with:

🔥 A deeper understanding of the real reason you’re stuck (hint: it’s not laziness or lack of strategy)

🔥 Clarity on how your mindset is either fueling or blocking your success

🔥 The tools to break your internal BS cycles so you can finally do the thing

🔥 A proven 5-step sales process to help you actually earn the success you say you want

🔥 Discover how your current behaviors have shaped your reality and how to adjust them to create the future you deserve and desire.  

If you’ve been stuck, feel like you’re never firing on all cylinders in all areas of your life, second-guessing your value, drowning in self-doubt, or feeling like your big goals are always just out of reach—this is your moment to shift it all.

You bring the ambition. I’ll bring the mirror.

Jump‑start your business growth and strengthen your network with the 2026 30‑Day Goal‑Getter Challenge! The challenge is open exclusively to members of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce (HCC), and is led by HCC Ambassadors — experienced peers who are invested in your success.

What to expect:

• 💡 Clarify a meaningful, achievable business or professional goal to focus on.
• 🤝 Paired with a “P.A.C.T. Partner” — another chamber member — for accountability and mutual support.
• 📞 Four weekly check‑in calls with your P.A.C.T. Partner and an HCC Ambassador, to monitor progress, troubleshoot, and stay motivated.
• 🎉 Final celebration to reflect on wins and share lessons learned — a chance to connect with fellow participants and amplify the momentum.

Spots are limited. Sign up soon to secure your place.
