Conference Schedule
11:45 - 12:00 - Registration & Refreshments
12:00 - 12:05 - Welcome & Introduction
12:05 - 12:25 - The Power of Paradox: Leading and Living as Women in the Both/And - Sara Richardson – Executive Coach | Team Coach | Leadership Development Consultant
As women, we’re often told to choose – be confident but not too confident, ambitious but still likeable, strong but always kind. In this talk, Sara will invite you to move past the either/or thinking and explore the power of both/and. You’ll learn how to navigate life’s tensions, see that two truths can exist at once, and discover how embracing paradoxes can change the way you live, lead, and see yourself.
12:25 - 12:45 - From Burnout to Brilliance: Thriving in High-Pressure Professions - Annette Barnes, Counsellor & Transformational Coach
This session will explore how driven professionals can move from exhaustion and self-doubt to clarity, confidence, and sustainable success. Annette reveals how compassion, mindset, and small daily shifts can transform pressure into purpose. You will leave feeling empowered, calm, and equipped with strategies to protect their well-being while performing at their best.
12:45 - 13:05 - Bouncing Back and Building Forward - Fran Costello, Organisational Development Consultant | Psychotherapist | Coach
We all face moments that shake our confidence, drain our energy, or leave us questioning our strength. In this session, Fran invites you to explore resilience not just as the ability to bounce back, but as a powerful daily practice that helps you feel capable and well both personally and at work. You’ll uncover how to move through challenges with compassion, build the protective factors that support long-term wellbeing, and recognise that resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t, it’s something you can grow. By blending psychology, real-world insight, and practical tools, Fran will help you reconnect with your inner strength and discover how small shifts can transform the way you live, work, and care for yourself.
13:05 - 13:15 - ‘Give to Gain’ - Ellie Birkett, The Girls' Network
Why assisting to empower & inspire girls between the ages of 14-19 can transform their lives, as well as yours.
