About Chic Escapades

 

Chic Escapades was created from a simple belief:


People connect more naturally when they are given a shared experience and an intentional place to begin.

 

I founded Chic Escapades after more than 20 years in Human Resources, employee experience, and organizational support.


Throughout my career, I saw how workplace culture, leadership, communication, and connection directly affected the employee experience.  I also saw that engagement could not be created through a survey, one company event, or a message from leadership alone.


People feel connected when they have opportunities to participate, contribute, build relationships, and know that their experience matters.


Chic Escapades brings together my background in employee engagement, facilitation, program design, and experience curation.

Why Corporate and Social Experiences?

Chic Escapades serves both organizations and the community because meaningful connection matters in every setting.


Our corporate work helps employees build stronger relationships, participate more fully, and feel more connected to their teams.


Our social experiences create welcoming spaces where people can try something new, meet others, and enjoy thoughtfully curated moments outside of work.


The audiences may be different, but the purpose is the same:


Creating experiences that make connection feel easier and more meaningful.

My Approach

Why Corporate and Social Experiences?

Why Corporate and Social Experiences?

 I am thoughtful about how people participate.


Not everyone wants to speak first.


Not everyone enjoys traditional networking.


Not everyone connects through the same activity.


That is why Chic Escapades experiences use shared activities, guided prompts, and intentional facilitation.


These elements allow people to engage at the level that feels right for them.


Someone may give a quick response.


Someone else may share a full story.


Another person may listen until they are ready.


Each form of participation matters.

What Chic Means to Us

 Chic Escapades is not only about how an experience looks.


It is about how thoughtfully it is designed.


Every detail should support the way guests or employees are meant to feel—welcomed, comfortable, engaged, and connected.


That is what makes an experience meaningful.
