The Impact of FAB for our Members
I have gained confidence through my FAB experience. I have felt supported and inspired by the women in my group. Their knowledge and different perspectives have opened my mind and helped me think through difficult situations, also just being able to be emotional and show emotion in a safe space is really valuable. I’ve made really good friends through FAB too.
It’s the reassurance that I’m not alone in this journey, meeting like minded people and learning. Taking time for myself too. Being challenged.
It’s provided a safe space for idea musing’s & for me to challenge my own beliefs & goals whilst also gaining alternative perspectives. The aspirations & achievements of my peers helps to push me to strive for more.
Where to start…. During my time with FAB, I have gained so much more insight on running a business. The masterclasses has opened my eyes to other aspects of the business (finance, type of employee and how to manage them, time management (personal and business) and the list goes on! The workshops helps me focus on both personal and business and gives me the time to do so because once I am at my office, I do not take the time to focus on anything else but the to-do list. My 1-2-1’s gives me the push I need to get things done!
Find Your FAB Sweet Spot,
AKA Your Competitive Edge
Running a business requires growth on all fronts. From personal and professional development to how you progress. Channelling all your efforts into just one or two of these areas takes you down an unsustainable, unfulfilling and uncompetitive path, limiting your future success.
You find your competitive edge when you unite your progress with professional and personal development. At FAB, we focus on all three core areas to ensure your business, progress, and self-development thrive.
What to Expect
At each meeting, you'll tap into the insight and expertise of ambitious and fearless leaders from non-competing industries. Every FAB member offers new perspectives and advice you won't find elsewhere. Your Chair will help you build the right mindset to reach your goals faster. Plus, you’ll hear from expert speakers nationwide who'll empower you to elevate your business.
Outside the peer advisory board meetings, you’ll meet with the board Chair to dive deeper into your challenges and goals. Our Chairs are experienced female leaders who are passionate about supporting your success. They'll create a safe environment for you to be open, honest and vulnerable. You’ll also work through accountability measures that positively change your future.
We invite all FAB Members to our exclusive events. Learn from keynote speakers, workshop ideas and network with members from other groups. These events occur yearly, celebrating what we've achieved and what is yet to come. You'll also be able to immerse yourself in a self-discovery FAB retreat.
