DECISIONS MADE✦REAL CONNECTIONS✦ACTION THAT LASTS✦21 APRIL 2027
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You know
the feeling.
You leave an event buzzing. Clear. Full notebook. You can finally see what needs to happen next.
Then Monday comes. The inbox, the clients, the to-do list. And those big plans quietly slip to next week. Again.
You’re not short of ideas. You’re short of the time, the headspace and the people around you to actually do them.
THIS TIME, IT’S DIFFERENT
The Connection
is all about action.
You won’t leave with another notebook full of ideas you’ll never get to. You’ll leave with decisions made, and with women around you who’ll check you actually followed through.
Save my seatWHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME
It started in a room.
It didn’t end there.
In 2026, 80 women filled the room at The Royal Bath Hotel. That’s the bit we care about. Not the notes. What happens after.
One walked in with an idea she’d been sitting on. She went home, started her business, and launched a podcast.
Another decided she was done hiding behind her business. She went home and got visible.
Imagine what comes next.
WHAT THEY SAID
Don’t just take
our word for it.

IS IT FOR YOU?

“I get it.”
This is for you if:
- You run your own business, with or without a team
- You’re busy, but it feels like you’re going nowhere
- You’ve got plans that keep slipping to next week
- You want to be in a room with women who get it
It’s not for you if you’re after another day of theory and slides.

MEET MICHELLE
“No woman in business
has to feel that way.”
I’m Michelle Reade, business & Leadership coach and founder of The Connection.
I’ve spent 26 years in business and leadership and supported over 1,000 business owners. I know what it’s like to be busy, stuck and doing it all on your own.
I started The Connection so no woman in business has to feel that way. One room, the right women, and a day that actually changes something.
