Success in business isn’t just about strategy, skill, or luck – it’s also about who you surround yourself with. The right people, the right conversations, and the right support system can change the entire trajectory of your career. But for so many women in business, the journey can feel isolating. Entrepreneurship is often glorified as a solo mission, but the truth is, no one truly succeeds alone.

Women, more than ever, need strong, intentional networks. Not just to exchange business cards or gain referrals, but to find spaces where they can be seen, heard, and championed. Spaces where their dreams aren’t too big, where ambition isn’t intimidating, and where success is celebrated, not envied. The power of genuine networking isn’t just in growing your business – it’s in growing yourself.

Too often, traditional networking events leave women feeling disconnected. Forced pitches, surface-level conversations, and the pressure to “sell yourself” can feel uncomfortable and ineffective. That’s why spaces designed specifically for women, by women are so powerful. When women gather in the right rooms, magic happens. It’s not about handing out business cards – it’s about creating real connections. It’s about surrounding yourself with women who inspire you to dream bigger, take bolder action, and step into your full potential.

That’s exactly why we created Empower Her Community. It started as a single event, a way to bring women in business together in a space that felt safe, inspiring, and energising. But it quickly became clear that this was something so many women needed. The demand for something deeper, more meaningful, and more transformative was undeniable. What started as one event turned into a movement – now spanning across New Zealand, Australia, the UK and Bali with 20-plus global networking hubs, an Inner Circle membership, and retreats that offer not just business growth, but deep personal transformation.

Women thrive when they are surrounded by others who get it. Who understand the late nights, the self-doubt, the pressure to balance it all. Who celebrate their wins as if they were their own and push them to take up space unapologetically. Empower Her has become that space – a community that isn’t about competition but about lifting each other higher. It’s about showing up not just for yourself, but for the women standing beside you.

The impact of the right connections is undeniable. Through our community, we’ve watched women go from hesitant entrepreneurs to confident business leaders. We’ve seen them land opportunities they never thought possible – media features, speaking engagements, collaborations, and life-changing clients – all because they put themselves in the right rooms. We’ve seen women walk into their first networking event filled with nerves, only to leave with new friendships, a fresh perspective, and the momentum they needed to take their next big step.

Networking is no longer a nice-to-have – it’s a necessity. The world moves fast, and opportunities don’t always come knocking at your door. You have to put yourself out there. You have to be willing to be seen. You have to step into spaces where you can grow, evolve, and expand your vision for what’s possible. Because the truth is, no one succeeds by doing it alone.

At Empower Her, we don’t just provide networking events – we provide a platform. A place where women can not only connect but also become leaders. Our Inner Circle offers expert-led masterclasses, accountability, and a high-value online membership designed to give women the tools they need to grow their businesses. Our in-person networking hubs create space for authentic, meaningful conversations – where you’re not just asked what you do, but who you are and what impact you want to make. Our retreats, like our upcoming Bali Retreat in July, are designed for deep connection, personal transformation, and taking your business to the next level in an environment that inspires you to think bigger.

But we also know that community isn’t just about attending – it’s about contributing. That’s why we actively provide a platform for women to step into leadership. Whether it’s speaking at our events, hosting a masterclass, running a local networking hub, or collaborating on new projects, we create opportunities for women to be seen and celebrated for the expertise they bring. When one woman rises, she brings others with her. And that’s the ripple effect we’re creating.

This isn’t just about networking. This is about rewriting the rules of how women show up in business. It’s about creating real success, built on real relationships. It’s about knowing that when women come together with intention, the ripple effect is unstoppable.

We’re not just building businesses. We’re building a movement. And we’d love for you to be part of it. T
