leadership. Many of our members run their own businesses, lead teams, work as
consultants, or hold senior roles within organisations.
Women join Positive Women in Business because they want to grow professionally while
also being part of a community that values integrity, encouragement and meaningful
relationships. Members come from a wide range of industries and stages of business, but
they share a desire to learn, grow and support one another.

Who else will be there?
Positive Women in Business attracts women from a wide variety of industries including
professional services, consulting, retail, health, education, creative industries and corporate

experience. This diversity creates rich conversations and opportunities for learning from one
another.

women in business.
What is the difference between Connect and Momentum?
Connect is designed as an introduction to the community through curated gatherings and
conversations. It provides an opportunity to meet other women in business, hear from expert
speakers and gain fresh perspective.
Momentum offers a deeper level of development. Members gather more frequently and
engage with experienced professionals across key areas of business including sales,
marketing, finance, legal strategy and leadership.
Women will begin with Connect and later choose to continue into Momentum as they look for
more structured support.
Is there an online community for members?
Members may be invited to join a private online community where they can stay connected
between events, share insights and continue conversations with other women in the
program.
This space helps maintain relationships and encouragement between gatherings.
What will I actually get?
Your experience will depend on the program you choose.
Connect includes three curated in-person gatherings each year. Each event runs for
approximately two hours in the morning and includes connection with other women in
business, a guest expert speaker, and thoughtful conversations designed to strengthen
leadership and business thinking.
Momentum provides a deeper level of development. Members gather bi-monthly throughout
the year and hear from expert contributors across areas such as sales, marketing, finance,
legal strategy and leadership. These sessions provide practical insight alongside peer
discussion and shared learning.
Both programs are designed to provide genuine value, meaningful connection and practical
insight you can apply in your business.
Are the programs faith-based?

Getting Started with Positive Women in Business
The basics on fit, purpose, and where to begin.
Do I need to prepare anything before attending?
No preparation is required. Members are simply encouraged to come ready to participate in
conversation, listen to the speaker and connect with other women in the room.
Many members choose to bring a notebook to capture insights and ideas from the
discussions.
What if my business is still small?
Members join Positive Women in Business at many different stages of their journey.
Some are just beginning their business, while others lead established companies or
organisations. What matters most is a willingness to learn, grow and contribute to the
community.
The diversity of experience in the room often creates valuable perspective for everyone.
Will this help my business?
Yes. While the environment is relational and supportive, the conversations are purposeful
and practical.
Guest speakers and expert contributors share insights across key areas of business
including sales, marketing, leadership, financial clarity and decision-making. Members often
leave with ideas they can apply immediately within their business or leadership role.
Learning from other women who are navigating similar experiences is often just as valuable
as hearing from guest speakers.
Is this worth the investment?
Women in business are careful with both their time and investment, which is why our
programs are designed to provide far more than a traditional networking experience.
Members gain access to curated speakers, thoughtful conversations and a supportive
community of women who understand the challenges of business and leadership. Many
women find that the relationships, insights and encouragement they gain become one of the
most valuable aspects of their professional journey.
Will I feel welcome or out of place?
Many women feel slightly nervous before attending their first event, but those feelings
usually disappear quickly.
Positive Women in Business gatherings are intentionally designed to be warm, welcoming
and conversational. Rather than large networking environments, they are curated spaces
where women can connect naturally and build genuine relationships.
You do not need to know anyone before you arrive. Most members attend their first event on
their own and leave having met several women they would like to stay connected with.
