Own the Room
How to create activating events that draw the right people into your world


 


You've built your brand voice. You've created your content. Now it's time to build the room where it all comes together.

The coaches and experts who become the go-to in their space aren't just showing up in other people's rooms. They're building their own. A roundtable. A book club. A workshop. A community. A live event. Whatever form it takes, when you own the room, you own the positioning that comes with it.

In this final workshop of the series with Karina Castro, we're going to design your activating event from the ground up. What it looks like, who it's for, how it brings the right people into your world, and how it keeps them there.

You'll leave with a concept, a plan, and the clarity to execute it.

Come ready to build. Leave with your room designed and ready to launch.

About the Speaker: Karina Castro

Our next guest understands something that many brilliant professionals discover far too late: being exceptional at what you do is not the same as being seen for it.

With more than a decade in the marketing industry, she has dedicated her career to helping experts, thought leaders, and service professionals step into the authority they’ve already earned. She has worked alongside TEDx speakers, bestselling authors, and multi-seven-figure coaches, helping them clarify their message, amplify their visibility, and create meaningful connections that lead to real opportunities—not just attention.

What makes her work so powerful is that she doesn’t believe in marketing for marketing’s sake. She believes in helping people find their voice, share their expertise with confidence, and build relationships that create lasting impact. Her approach combines strategic visibility with authentic human connection, allowing her clients to become recognized leaders in their industries without sacrificing who they are.

Her own journey—from building a business with vision, resourcefulness, and determination to helping others elevate their brands and businesses—reflects the very message she teaches: that your greatest opportunities often begin when you have the courage to be seen.

Today, she continues to empower professionals to move from overlooked expert to trusted authority, creating influence that extends far beyond social media.

Please join me in welcoming the founder of Grow Virtual, marketing strategist, visibility expert, and champion for purpose-driven professionals, Karina Castro
