THE MOVEMENT

One Opportunity

Can Change Everything.

The EMPOWER to INSPIRE Tour was created from one powerful belief.

Access to the right room, relationship, resource, or opportunity can change the direction of a business and a life.

After one networking experience sparked the launch of BALM GLOBAL, founder Nicky Cuesta made a commitment to create powerful rooms where entrepreneurs could gain education, collaboration, visibility, resources, and strategic relationships.

What began as one opportunity has grown into an expanding entrepreneurial ecosystem of events, leadership development, business coaching, media, publishing, masterminds, and national networking.

“We are not simply hosting events. We are building leaders, empowering entrepreneurs, and creating opportunities.”
