An Intimate, High-Trust Room For Established Female Founders, Built On The High-Level Conversations, Proximity And Perspective That Change Everything.
Where Recognition Becomes Deliberate And Income And Impact Becomes Inevitable.
THE DETAILS:
THE PRIVATE DINING ROOM AT 20 STORIES MANCHESTER | 12-4PM
A table where you’re seen, understood and stretched at the level you know you’re ready for.
BECAUSE AT THIS LEVEL, THE RIGHT CONVERSATIONS SHIFT EVERYTHING.
You don’t need more surface-level strategy, you need the right room.
This isn’t a conference, it’s not "networking" and it’s definitely not another room where you sit and listen while taking notes you’ll never use.
This is a private, conversation-led room for women already operating at a high level, who know they’re not being seen, matched or moved at the level they’re capable of. Because at this stage, it’s not about learning more, it’s about how you’re seen, how you’re positioned and what happens because of it.
Yes, we talk personal brand, strategy and sales. But more importantly, we get to the things that are actually shaping your next level. The decisions you’ve been circling, the level that's calling you but haven’t fully claimed and the conversations about what truly matters to you now - that freedom-fuelled, joy-full and purpose-led life.
Something shifts when you’re in a room like this. Not because you don’t know what to do, but because you’re surrounded by people who think at a level that expands you.
These rooms don’t teach you, they remind you. Of what you’re ready for, of what’s actually possible and the ceiling you’re no longer available to stay beneath.
Because some energy you can build on your own. But this feeling? This is created in rooms like this. And when it clicks… You don’t leave with more ideas, you leave different, with a fresh outlook on what's possible and where you're going.
THIS ROOM IS FOR WOMEN WHO...
- Have outgrown the level they’re currently operating at, even if it still looks successful from the outside.
- Can feel what’s next, but haven’t fully claimed it yet.
- Are done with surface-level conversations, recycled strategies and rooms that don’t stretch them.
- Want to be in a room where their level is normal, where they’re met, challenged and expanded instantly.
- Are no longer available for being “very good” and are ready to be known, trusted and referenced as the one.
- Know they’ve been circling and are ready to make the moves they’ve been sitting on, in a way that actually feels like them.
- Are ready to be seen beyond their current audience, stepping into the rooms, opportunities and visibility that collapse time on their next level.
- And knows she’s no longer available to stay where she is.
High-level conversations about what’s actually working.
Expansion into what’s possible.
Investing in yourself, your vision and the people around you.
because real personal brands are built in the rooms you step into.
An intimate, high-trust room. Where the right conversations change everything.
A carefully curated space where every woman is operating at a high level, so the conversations meet you where you actually are. There'll be no surface-level conversations, no performing and no leaving thinking “that was nice” and yet nothing changed.
This is where your next level gets seen and articulated in real time. Where you hear how others are thinking, moving and building at a level that stretches you. Where you hear women speak passionately in real-time about how their utilising their brand, strategies and next moves in a way that it lands differently for you and sparks something that you can no longer ignore.
This is where the move you've been circling gets expanded and becomes obvious to make.
Because this isn’t just about who’s in the room. It’s what happens when the right people, at the right level, have the right conversations.
INSIDE THE ROOM...
• Conversations that sharpen your thinking.
• Moments where what’s next becomes clear.
• Live, personalised insights that sharpen your thinking and accelerate your next move.
• A curated lunch where conversations deepen and the right connections happen naturally.
• A carefully considered environment that makes this level feel like your new normal.
• And real-time perspective that connects how you’re seen, positioned and paid.
So you don’t just leave with ideas, you leave moving differently with a new fire inside you.
Confidentiality is key - what’s said in the room, stays in the room. So you can speak openly, think clearly and be fully seen, without holding anything back.
This is what happens when you call this work.
This is a private, curated room with limited capacity. Each place is intentionally allocated to protect the level of conversation, connection and experience inside it.

A FINAL NOTE...
This room is intentionally curated.
Not to limit access, but to protect the level of conversation, connection and opportunity inside it.
You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out, you don’t need a perfect plan and you don’t need to prove anything.
You simply need to know that where you are is no longer where you’re meant to stay.
And that being in the right room with the right people, at the right moment, changes everything.
