Overview

Virtual Event

Our networks are a representation of our success and influence and they help us achieve our biggest goals and dreams. It takes effort to create, sustain, nurture and grow our networks and they shouldn't be seen as something that is at the bottom of the “To Do List”. Yet networking strategically and selling yourself can seem like a chore, somewhat fake, time consuming or just plain difficult to connect with the right people. Let’s change that!

What Makes Us Different?

• The first company in the UK and a 22 year track record of running inspirational, research-supported workshops designed specifically for the needs and aspirations of women.
• Our courses are not about women changing or being 'fixed', they are about skill development, the world needing to catch up with women and what we can do to accelerate that change. 
• Highly interactive and coaching based approach.
• 1-for-1 sponsorship initiative ensures that every paying participant is also a catalyst for another woman’ to attend fostering a supportive, pay-it-forward community of female leaders.
• Diversity of industry, sector and organisation enables exchange of ideas and networking.
• Small group of up to 12 allowing for a unique and personal experience.
• Follow up coaching and support available.

Sponsorship Programme

At each Aspire event, 50% of the participants sponsor the other 50% to attend. Every paying participant is a sponsor for someone who doesn’t have the means at the moment for whatever reason to attend an Aspire event, providing them with access to the same enriching experience and networking opportunities as the other. It’s where one woman’s investment multiplies into a community of support and encouragement, a ripple effect that will extend far beyond the event itself. Learn more here
