CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Portia & Cleo offers classes and workshops for business owners who want to build a stronger personal brand and uplevel their marketing. Each session is led by founder Katie Miller, a brand strategist with a decade of experience helping entrepreneurs turn their story into a marketing strategy that connects, builds trust, and drives growth.
We believe continuing education is one of the most effective ways for business owners to grow — not only by learning new skills, but by growing boldly into parts of their brand they haven't yet imagined. It's also a way to build community. Business owners who learn alongside one another gain the kind of connection, feedback, and momentum that working alone can't provide.
The Founder's Story Workshop Series
Monthly Marketing Workshop Series Rooted In Your Brand Story
Waitlist access is required to join this workshop series. Seats are limited, and enrollment opens on a first come, first served basis the moment class details drop on September 10th.
Every founder has a story. It’s your bold marketing fingerprint — the one signature that belongs to only you, the thing that sets you apart from your competition.
The question is: are you using it in all the best ways you can?
You’ve done the work to uncover your Founder Story — the moment, the mission, the throughline that makes your business yours. But a story that lives only in your head, or in a single About page paragraph, isn’t doing its job.
The Founder’s Story Series is a three-part live workshop built to change that: to take the story you already have and teach you how to activate it, session by session, environment by environment — on social, on your website, and in the room.
Each 90-minute session opens with a recap of your Founder Story foundation, moves into a focused teaching on that session’s environment, gives you a hands-on exercise to apply it to your own brand, and closes with live Q&A.
There are only 12 seats per class — intentionally built to foster connection and create an intimate space for female founders to work and have their questions answered. Seats will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Founder's Rising Academy
A Six-Week Boutique Cohort for Women Founders Ready to Move From Building a Successful Business to Becoming a Recognized Authority
THE FOUNDER'S RISING ACADEMY
You have built your business. Now you are ready to step out and lead as strong as you built. Over six weeks, you'll strengthen the leader behind your business, uncover the story only you can tell, and step into the kind of presence that opens doors for speaking, leadership, partnerships, board service, and growth.
This isn't another marketing course or business mastermind. It's an intimate leadership experience designed to help you become the founder your business deserves.
WHO IT'S FOR
The Founder's Rising Academy is for women founders who know they're capable of more and are ready to become known for their expertise, speak with greater confidence and authority, serve on boards and advisory councils, and create opportunities instead of waiting for them.
