What Members Say about FAB
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!
Why Peer Advisory Outperforms Every Other Investment You Can Make in Your Business
Business schools give you frameworks but not accountability. Coaches give you support but no peer intelligence. Networks give you connections but not structure. FAB combines all three – in a single monthly sessions that runs 8am to 2pm with a curated group of non-competing peers, an expert Chair holding you accountable and a purpose-built agenda designed around your commercial challenges.
Research by the International Coaching Federation found a median company ROI of 700% on structured leadership development investment. FAB members consistently report 60% more time working on their business than in it, and 200% growth in their commercial capability. One member generated an additional £350K in revenue from a single monthly session.
This is what structured peer advisory looks like when it’s done properly.
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 brings the commercial experience and direct challenge to ensure every session drives real decisions, not just discussion.
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 hold you accountable to the commitments you make in the room and provide direct, unfiltered challenge that accelerates the decisions your business needs.
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.
