Business Strategy Sessions
Marketing for Entrepreneurs
Marketing and business strategist Maike Buhr specialises in helping business leaders gain clarity on their target group and how to win in their markets. In her session, you’ll learn how to define your target audience, craft compelling problem-benefit statements, and tailor messaging. You’ll leave with a clearer market focus and actionable tools to elevate your marketing with ease and purpose.
The Art of Pitching
Award-winning entrepreneur and business angel Birgit Ströbel has heard thousands of pitches and knows exactly what makes decision-makers lean in. In her session, you’ll learn how to capture attention fast, signal credibility, and make your ideas unforgettable. You’ll leave with the tools to own your message and turn every introduction, meeting, or networking moment into an opportunity.
Investment Playbook
Investor and startup advisor Katie Lewis offers candid insights into what truly drives funding decisions. In her session, you’ll learn what investors look for in the dos and don’ts that make or break a deal, and why founders should also be doing due diligence on their investors. You’ll leave with a sharper lens on both sides of the table, ready to enter funding conversations with clarity and confidence.
Wealth Building Sessions
Designing your wealth journey
Maria Jose helps leaders design wealth with the same systems-thinking they use to build companies. In her session, you’ll create a simple money framework you can actually run: one clear investment intention, three SMART goals, a personal wealth compass, and a concrete next step. You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a repeatable wealth cadence that compounds over time.
Investing in Real Estate
Raj replaced our original speaker to discuss how to turn property into independence and long-term wealth. In her session, you’ll learn what to do (and what to avoid) when entering real estate, from research and first steps to building a portfolio. You’ll leave with practical insights to navigate the property landscape confidently and align your investments with the life you want to design.
Elevate you and your business with Bitcoin
With 20 years of experience in financial markets and corporate innovation, and as the founder of Forbes-featured Access Tribe, Krista Edmunds makes Bitcoin clear, practical, and empowering for women. In her session, you’ll learn what Bitcoin is and why it matters as an investment tool for women, and how it can impact your business through smarter treasury and entrepreneurial decisions. You’ll leave ready to elevate both yourself and your business with Bitcoin, equipped with the knowledge to take your first secure steps.
Personal Brand Sessions
Transcend the inner glass ceiling
Executive Coach and former digital industry CEO, Dorothea Wichert-Nick, has guided more than 170 leaders and founders to break through their “inner glass ceiling.” In her session, you’ll learn how hidden self-limits quietly block ambition, and how to move beyond them with clarity and conscious choice. You’ll leave with practical insight into your own inner ceiling and one concrete step to rise into more mature, confident leadership.
The Power of Real Connections
Networking expert Katharina Krentz shows how to move beyond awkward small talk and build authentic connections with purpose and ease. In her session, you’ll learn a simple structure to connect before, during, and after events, especially online, without feeling forced or superficial. You’ll leave with practical tools and the confidence to turn networking into meaningful encounters that last.
How to increase your net worth through negotiation
Negotiation expert and founder of The Wealth Within Her, Catrine Rhenberg, shows how self-worth and net worth are deeply connected. In her session, you’ll uncover the barriers that hold women back, learn a clear framework for negotiation, and practice applying it to real situations. You’ll leave believing in your worth and equipped with the tools to negotiate with confidence and impact your financial freedom.
Women's Health Sessions
Neuroscience of Menopause
Executive coach and leadership expert Kate Gondouin brings a science-backed lens to one of the most overlooked transitions in women’s lives: menopause. In her session, you’ll learn what really happens in the brain pre-, during, and post-menopause, from brain fog to shifts in focus, and how to counter these changes with awareness and practical tools. You’ll leave with clarity, strategies to support your wellbeing, and the confidence to thrive through every stage.
Balancing Hormones Naturally Through Menopause
Naturopathic nutritionist Daniela Exley shares how to support your body naturally through perimenopause and menopause. In her session, you’ll discover what’s really happening with your hormones, why symptoms arise, and how simple shifts in food, stress, sleep, and lifestyle can restore balance. You’ll leave with practical tools to feel more energised, grounded, and in tune with your changing body.
Lifestyle Design and the Power of Visualisation
Business mentor, writer, and lifestyle design coach, Katrina Cobb, helps women align their money, environment, and energy to create a life that truly fits. In her session, you’ll use her Lifestyle Audit Kit and guided visualisation to see clearly where your finances, space, and daily rhythms are out of sync, and imagine what aligned living could look like. You’ll leave with a personal vision and practical steps to start building a lifestyle that feels like home, inside and out.
