Are you an event planner or leader struggling to get more women to attend your events? Are you looking for new ways to increase engagement with your female attendees? I came across a unique, interesting offering that would create an opportunity to encourage attendance and drive engagement at your next event.
Poker Power is a woman-owned company that teaches women the game of poker, to help them develop strategic thinking and leadership skills. The company has introduced thousands of women to the game – one that is dominated by men, with less than 10% of the players being female. Poker Power maintains that learning to play poker boosts confidence, enhances negotiation skills, and improves risk assessment skills – key competencies that translate directly into professional success.
Why Teach Women Poker at Your Event?
At its core, poker is about more than cards and chips. It’s about making decisions under pressure, reading opponents, and knowing when to take calculated risks.
These are the same skills that define successful leaders in business, finance, and entrepreneurship. Offering a Poker Power event can afford women attendees an interactive and memorable experience that provides professional development skills they can take with them, including:
Strategic thinking: Understanding odds, recognizing patterns, and adapting to opponents mirrors real-world business scenarios.
Confidence in decision making: Poker teaches players to make bold, informed choices, a crucial skill in leadership and negotiations.
Risk assessment: Learning when to hold back and when to seize an opportunity is invaluable in both poker and the professional world.
Resilience and adaptability: Every hand played builds emotional intelligence and resilience, helping players handle challenges with poise.
Making It Work for Your Event
Poker Power offers engaging workshops that can be structured as interactive icebreakers, breakout sessions, or team-building activities. Integrating a poker workshop into an event agenda isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about equipping women with practical, actionable skills that drive success.
Offering professional opportunities like poker at your events may be the ace up your sleeve to attracting and engaging more women attendees.
