We’re opening our doors… and you’re invited
Our FemPowered community is all about real conversations, generous sharing, and leaving ego at the door. So it makes perfect sense that we’re kicking off a new kind of breakfast event, FemPowered Women’s ‘CCC’ – Coffee, Croissant & Connection, thoughtfully designed for meaningful connection, “been-there-done-that” wisdom that really amplifies your business and leadership reach, and a whole lot of heart.
No fluff. Just powerful, authentic women in business coming together to connect, learn, and walk away with practical impactful tips and tricks (and new biz besties).
What’s on the Menu? (besides buttery pastries…)
At FemPowered CCC, we’ve curated a conversation that we know will get you sharing and relating.
We have decided to hand the mic to the women in the arena—real women in business, real experience, real talk.
Introducing the FemPowered Panel : Tried, Tested & Still Standing, putting our FemPowered Members in the hot seat to share what’s actually working in business right now. Exploring,
💬 Marketing
💬 Sales & Customer Experience
💬 Recruitment & Team Building
💬 Leadership & Personal Growth
💬 Wellness, Mindset & Compassionate Self-Leadership
These powerhouse women are navigating change, disruption, and the cost-of-living crunch just like you—and they’re showing up to share their lessons, wins, and painfully ‘cringe’ stories with total honesty (and zero ego).
No jargon. No overwhelm. Just “here’s what working for me—ask me anything.”
You’ll even get to vote on the topics / questions that matter most before the event—so you’ll leave with answers, not more questions.
And who knows… next time, the hot seat might have your name on it 😉
This is more than a breakfast. It’s a network.
CCC is designed to feel like a warm hug and a mini mastermind rolled into one. It’s where the real convos happen — the ones that unlock new ideas, spark collaborations, and make you feel truly seen and supported.
The only cost is your breakfast. That’s it.
Incredible value ✨Game-changing community ⚡ No barriers 🔓
New Here? You’re So Welcome.
We’re celebrating the launch of the FemPowered Women’s CCC by opening our doors to new guests for the first time in a while. Whether you’re new to FemPowered or a long-time lurker — this is your sign.
We'd love to meet you. You belong in this room.
Bubbles, Lessons & Connection Lunch

Intimate Inner Circle Learning Intensive & Bubbly Lunch

We’ll kick off with a powerful activity to help you pinpoint your real challenge, then tap into the wisdom in the room for customisable insights, bespoke advice, and meaningful connections with women who truly get it.
All this ‘hard work’ will be followed with rare chance to connect on a deeper level over lunch and bubbles, gaining insights from successful, established leaders in our community.
