POWER YOUR CONNECTIONS

LAUNCH EVENT: 10TH JULY 17:30-19:30

This is the start of a community which will provide a safe space for women in senior roles. We will come together for an interesting and honest conversation. Join us to form meaningful, valuable connections with people we can relate to. Scroll down to view the event lineup.

START SOMETHING SPECIAL

To cultivate personal, meaningful & valuable conversations, we will divide into smaller groups during this segment of the event.

 

To facilitate, we will provide connection cards designed to prompt deeper questions, spark thought-provoking discussions and foster genuine connections among attendees. We will also encourage no-one to leave the room without a firm commitment to follow-up conversations with the people you most connect with on the night.

 

We will make it super easy to share LinkedIn details and, following the event, we will create a bio document of everyone at the event, to make it easy to get in touch afterwards with anyone you didn’t have time to speak to.

STICK, TWIST OR SIDE HUSTLE

Many women we talk to are at a similar inflection point; considering their options and what’s next for them to maximise their fulfilment, income and how they balance their working time going forwards. 

 

The ‘what’s next for me?’ question is often a quandary of stick, twist or side hustle. Is it worth veering off this path, when I could reach the top of the mountain? Could I carry on, but set myself up in a different way (fractional, portfolio, NED)? Will I regret it if I don’t take the plunge and have my own gig? Should that be a side hustle or should I just go for it?!
