The problem is not that women aren't confident, but that confidence in women is not rewarded in the world.

THAT IS THE PROBLEM UPFRONT AND CENTRE IS HERE TO SOLVE.

LISTEN TO THE WOMEN WHO TRANSFORMED THEIR CONFIDENCE IN 2023

“you’re not the only one who has aspirations and who has the ability to achieve them”

“It’s been very inspiring”

“The intention is to give you confidence and with each particular panel or talk it’s just adding layer upon layer”

“My favourite part of the day so far is just seeing this collection of incredible, powerful women coming together in one space”

“for me it’s about the connection”

Transform your confidence...
