Here’s the extra special part. We will enjoy wine from a woman-owned winery in Portugal AND the CEO of Poppy Flowers, Cameron Hardesty, will share how she founded her company (Psst. She used to work in the White House! )

How will the event work:

• Step 1. You register at this Eventbrite link, with your home address. (Last day to register is April 17th so we have 2 weeks to ship

• Step 2. The flowers and the wine are shipped to your home, separately. (Please keep in mind that someone 21 years or older has to be home to accept the delivery of wine)

• Step 3. The Zoom link for the event is automatically put on your calendar.

• Step 4. Get a vase! to arrange your flowers in. Get some wine glasses to enjoy some exquisite wine from Joana Macanita’s winery (www.macanita.com )

• Step 5. On the evening of May 1st, we come together virtually to arrange and sip!

About Cameron Hardesty https://www.poppyflowers.com/

CEO & FOUNDER

In 2014, while working in the drug policy office at The White House, Cameron realized she was longing for creativity in her life. She started volunteering in The White House flower shop, learning floral design from Chief Floral Designer, Laura Dowling.

Then Cameron went all in, leaving her job to join a major floral startup as the Head of Products. In just four years, she helped them scale to become one of the largest e-commerce floral gifting companies.

During this time, Cameron also managed the florals for her own wedding, causing her to realize that an antiquated supply chain made wedding flowers more expensive than they had to be. She wanted to change that, so Poppy Flowers was born.

They wrote a full paragraph, explaining how unhappy they are. The day progresses, and you try to forget about it, but you can’t. In fact, it’s got you really down.

Does this sound like you?

One of my favorite authors dedicated an entire chapter in her book on how to handle feedback and criticism. She says “Feedback tells you about the priorities and preferences of the person giving it. If its not coming from your target audience, then move on. If it is coming from your target audience, then pay attention.”
