To bring women together. That is the entire purpose for Monica Kretschmer. To create a place where women feel empowered and are able to mentor each other. A place where women can network and find support while building their businesses. “I know firsthand the challenges, struggles women face in the corporate world and the strength that is required to start and scale a business. I had a vision to break barriers and silos and collaborate, and have been laser focused on this from the beginning,”… Show more

To bring women together. That is the entire purpose for Monica Kretschmer. To create a place where women feel empowered and are able to mentor each other. A place where women can network and find support while building their businesses. “I know firsthand the challenges, struggles women face in the corporate world and the strength that is required to start and scale a business. I had a vision to break barriers and silos and collaborate, and have been laser focused on this from the beginning,” says Kretschmer.
It all started when Kretschmer found herself suddenly single with a young child to take care of. She had a job in corporate Calgary, but always knew she wanted more. “I’ve always been an entrepreneur, always had ideas percolating… I’m a visionary, a connector.” She had this crazy idea of a place where women could work together to foster a community where diversity, innovation, recognition, mentorship and a disruptor mindset were all valued. Where women could feed their souls and their pocketbooks, all while finding much needed mentorship. A place where Purpose, with a capital P, could be found by all. To Kretschmer, everything is about Purpose. Everything she has gone through – all the hurdles and hardships – have led her to this point. Her Purpose is to help other women find their own Purpose. She loves the beauty and symmetry in that. Show less

Canadian Business Chicks: Connecting women entrepreneurs in the Calgary Region. Now as an entrepreneur, she is paying it forward in big ways.

Capital Ideas members were asked how they celebrate the successes that come along the way. Here’s what members of our community of Calgary business owners helping business owners had to say.

This year marked my 8th Annual Pumpkin Hunt and the first Charity Fundraiser for Canadian Business Chicks. We gathered our members, kids, family, friends and who ever wanted to join to raise funds to support the Silver Springs Outdoor Swimming Pool. It was a beautiful day and the kids each took home a goody bag donated by Evolution Dental and Betty W. with Pumpkins donated by Year Round Landscaping.

Taylor found me and I shared my experience volunteering in the floods, a kindred spirit that helped me move mountains into place to offer flood volunteers and families a place to escape and comfort one another.
This No. 1 bestselling book examines one of the worst natural disasters in Canadian history, the 2013 Alberta flood. Written in a narrative non-fiction style, the book examines the disaster through multiple storylines recounting the perspectives of people who experienced it in very different ways: the disabled and elderly residents in downtown Calgary who were left trapped without power while their neighbours were evacuated; the homeless man forced to wander the city after his shelter was closed; the elderly High River woman who was rescued by strangers from her home after her basement wall collapsed while she was in the house. These tales are balanced by overwhelming displays of support from strangers in the face of disaster.
