Guided Womenโs Business Networking
Sat, Aug 1, 4:00 AM**A monthly networking experience designed differently!** Our structured networking event is for women who want to grow, not just in business, but as individuals. Through meaningful conversations, thought-provoking reflection questions, and guided table rotations, youโll gain fresh perspectives, build genuine connections, and challenge yourself to think bigger. **๐ How it works** **1\. Arrive & connect** Youโll be welcomed and seated at a table with a reflection prompt to kick-start the conversation. **2\. Dive into meaningful conversations** Each round explores a different question designed to spark honest discussions around business, personal growth, and the challenges that matter most. **3\. Meet someone new every 20 minutes** We guide every table rotation, so youโll naturally connect with lots of different women throughout the evening, without any awkwardness. By the end of the night, youโll leave with meaningful new connections, fresh perspectives, and greater clarity on your next steps. **๐ How to Find Rabbit Bar** Rabbit Bar can be tricky to spot: 1. Go to the ground floor of **The Galeries** 2. Look for **Toastie Smith** 3. Behind it, youโll see a semi-enclosed area 4. Walk down into that area 5. On your right, youโll see a doorway. Enter it 6. Then look for another open door immediately to your right. Thatโs **Rabbit Bar**! ๐ฒ **Got questions?** Feel free to message me here on Meetup. **Looking forward to a room full of real talk. See you there! xx** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Want to learn more about Her Collective Space?** Follow us on Instagram: [@hercollectivespace](http://www.instagram.com/hercollectivespace/)

The New Blueprint of Leadership for Women in Business
Wed, Aug 5, 1:00 AMThe old models of leadership are no longer enough. Many capable women in business are not held back by a lack of skill, ambition, or experience, but by inherited ways of leading that no longer fit the complexity of who they are, what they carry, and how they are being called to lead today. Leadership can often feel like a constant balancing act between confidence and self-doubt, strength and softness, visibility and authenticity, carrying responsibility while trying not to carry it all. This 4-part masterclass series is designed for women in business who are ready to lead with more confidence, clarity, and influence without feeling like they need to become someone they are not. Hosted by Western Sydney Startup Hub in partnership with Carole Issa, Founder of Leadership Activators and creator of the Active Leader Pathway, this series blends practical leadership tools, deeper self-awareness, and real-world strategies to help you strengthen how you lead from the inside out. Whether you are a founder, business owner, startup leader, consultant, or ambitious professional, this series will help you build stronger leadership foundations that create authentic influence, clearer communication, and more sustainable impact. **This Series Is For You If You:** * Are a founder, business owner, startup leader, consultant, or ambitious professional * Are excellent at what you do, but know that modern leadership requires more than technical skill * Find yourself carrying too much, overthinking decisions, or avoiding certain conversations * Want to lead with more confidence and influence without changing who you are * Want practical leadership tools that feel authentic, grounded, and relevant to todayโs business world * Are looking to connect with other women who are building, leading, and growing in business **Event Details** ๐ Western Sydney Startup Hub ๐ Wednesdays: 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th August 2026 (4 sessions) โฐ 11:00 AM โ 1:00 PM **Your Investment** $47 per person for the full 4-part masterclass series. Your ticket includes all four sessions, practical leadership tools, light refreshments, and opportunities to connect with other women in business in a relaxed networking setting. **About Carole Issa** Carole Issa is the Founder of Leadership Activators and creator of the Active Leader Pathway, a practical leadership framework designed to help leaders strengthen emotional intelligence, communication, trust, and influence. Through her work, Carole helps business owners, founders, managers, and professionals lead with greater confidence, clarity, and impact without feeling like they need to abandon who they are in the process. ๐๏ธ Register to attend: [https://events.humanitix.com/the-new-blueprint-of-leadership-for-women-in-business-at-wssh](https://events.humanitix.com/the-new-blueprint-of-leadership-for-women-in-business-at-wssh)
