The secret to accelerated results
Achieve your goals and change the world with a unique set of new tools utilising Collective Intelligence (CQ).
Imagine a space full of people who want to share their knowledge, contacts and skills for the purpose of solving issues and creating lasting transformation.
It's where science meets personal development meets culture change - bringing together the power of psychology, intuition, advocacy and giving back.
In a world where artificial intelligence is transforming how we work, the uniquely human skills of CQ will be your superpower.
It was a pure inspiration. I have the empowerment to change static views and engage further in equality for women. Aspire crosses borders, it crosses sectors, it unites a flame inside you to stand up, raise the roof, to make a change with a massive support crew in tow.
Our leaders are more confident, assertive, better networkers and thriving as a consequence of attending your programme. I am now counting on them to pay that forward by supporting, encouraging and coaching other women who are trying to find their purpose, voice and authentic leadership style in their careers.
Truly inspirational. A room of like minded women from all walks of life, all sectors, diverse backgrounds and organisations. all with a common purpose of wishing to be more inspirational in their leadership, and with a desire to support and inspire other women to develop.
Great content, fantastic energy and a room full of invigorated, inspired leaders. The vibe though Avtrade has changed since I stumbled across Aspire. Today we’re a force for change, inspiration and encouragement to leaders (whatever gender) and to all staff across the company.
I left feeling re-energised, re-focused and strong! I have already received feedback from other team members who attended and I am confident they will become a network of trailblazing women within our organisation and beyond.
Truly inspirational, and personally for me, the workshop was life changing. A safe, supportive environment… an extremely interactive and engaging day where you went away with key action points rather than just 'theory'.
Totally unique. You leave feeling truly lifted and with the knowledge that you have achieved a lot already and can maximise your potential to do more, professionally and in your personal life.
The workshop was probably the best investment I have made over a 30 year career (including a medical degree and an MBA!). I have come away with the confidence and tools to make my impact, and thus the impact of my charity, exponentially higher.
Excellent, allowed me to reflect and learn new techniques that will enable me to continue my effective communication development. Also, it was very helpful to meet other great leaders. Extremely powerful. It exceeded my expectations.
Exactly what I needed! The workshop reminded me of a) the joy of working with a group of enthusiastic people who truly want to make a difference and b) that I need to be true to myself – my talents & values.
I don’t think it is over-cooking it to say I found it life changing. I was immediately able to put the learning into practice the following day at a couple of very tricky meetings and it made a complete difference to both the outcomes and to how I felt. Not only that, I now have a really strong network of like-minded women. Thank you so much – you and your team are amazing!
This event is unique because there was this feeling of sisterhood, connection and collaboration.
Aspire is down to earth and practical. Events are organised with great attention to detail and I love the fact that I have been a speaker and am now an Aspire mentor. I hold the organization in very high regard.
I have never experienced a conference quite like yours anywhere here in the States! It was such a great experience.
I left the event feeling inspired, energised, on a mission, empowered, grateful and truly wanting to make a difference. To be in a room full of so many like-minded people is what truly sets this event apart, all of us so different and unique but ultimately so alike. I would describe it as an event that nourishes the soul.
I woke up this morning buzzing, feeling positive, less fearful and ready for the day ahead. Please, for all the women out there who doubt themselves, who are hung up about not fitting the cookie-cutter leader shape, keep doing this.
I attend Aspire events to get powerful strategic insight into the next steps for my professional development, combined with the energy and support to take it forward and make a difference. At my first Aspire event, I thought 'I've found my people'. I always feel welcome.
It was a fabulous. The environment created encourages the very best out of any delegate. I felt extremely relaxed and motivated to optimize my learning. The content was sharp and the messages easy to digest.
Whilst Aspire have a strong focus on gender diversity and women leaders they strike a balance which, as a man, has made me feel totally included and equally supported. I have recommended Aspire to many people and will continue to do so.
Live and online events that ignite, support and celebrate personal, organisational and social change. Our events bring people together to change their own lives and the world around them.




In 2025, Aspire is evolving. Why? Because the world needs something different.
Over the last 24 years, Dr Sam Collins, Founder of Aspire has helped thousands of women transform their lives, careers and organisations through Aspire.
She's known for cutting through the noise and creating safe spaces where women can be themselves while working on big changes.
Now it's time for the next chapter.
The business and social challenges we face can't be fixed with the same old leadership training or quick-fix solutions.
We need to bring women together alongside men who want to improve the workplace for themselves, their families and the world
Do you aspire to change the world?
Aspire scholarships offer no cost places at our events for people from charities, not-for-profits, NGOs and social enterprises who are working on solving the world’s most pressing problems.

Building Bridges To Empowerment
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.
