  • "This week's Fierce Woman, Samantha Owens, first met NextGroup when we sponsored an event in Lake Forest last spring. Samantha has been a financial advisor for almost 20 years and she sees her career as a way to have a positive impact in her clients' lives, journeying with them through some of life's hardest and most important decisions. Samantha connected with NextGroup because she was interested in supporting our work to empower women, and she's become a wonderful partner. Samantha and I met today to discuss our partnership and she shared insights on why helping women pursue their passion and purpose. Samantha shared that she had planned to be a professional musician - a trained bass player in college - but took an economics course at the same time and ultimately took another path. We discussed how so many different factors can drive career choices. Samantha offered that regardless of when it happens in one's career, it's ultimately finding that sense of purpose and impact that makes the difference. Her work as a financial advisor with Edward Jones focuses on helping clients make choices so they can follow their dreams. And, she was drawn to NextGroup to be able to expand this impact more broadly. Samantha and Edward Jones will be sponsoring NextGroup's 2025 program calendar and working with us in several ways to extend our reach to other women in career transition. I'm certain Samantha continues to be a fierce bassist, but she's also a fierce advocate for women.," Candance Chow, NextGroup CoFounder

    At this month's Summit For Nonprofit Growth and Sustainability, nonprofit leaders of Chicagoland joined Big Buzz Idea Group and immersed themselves in an enriching experience, gaining invaluable tools and strategies to elevate their organizations. To build a sustainable and impactful nonprofit, it is important that you operate like a business. Throughout the event, we discussed the foundations that every association should apply at the core of their operations. We delved into fundamentals such as strategic goal-setting, finances and budgeting, HR, organizational culture, leadership and more. 🐝 We would like to thank NextGroup, LLC for being our lunch sponsor! We hope that the connections that were made and the insights that were learned will continue to drive success and sustainability in our attendees' missions. #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitmanagement #nonprofitconsulting #nonprofitcommunity #nonprofitmarketing #chicagononprofit

  • Our cofounder Candance Chow was featured in NAWBO's Chicago newsletter. She was asked to provide tips for other women business owners when it comes to creating strategies or processes to help advance your company goals? Her response: "Before launching NextGroup in 2019, I worked in strategy, business development and product management for several technology startups. This experience taught me a key strategy and go-to market approach that I have brought to my role as a business owner and entrepreneur, enabling us to grow our recruiting and staffing services with focus and speed. In the tech start up world, I learned to test and prove new product and service ideas by creating an “MVP” or minimum viable product. This approach enables you to quickly introduce a new idea while not sacrificing the time and cost of fully “designing and testing” the product."
