Power Up 2023

The ultimate empowerment experience for leaders who are ready to let go of what's holding them back and POWER UP!

​Power Up is back for another year and it's going to be more power-full and experiential than ever.

​When? Thursday 29th June 2023

​Where? Orton Hall Hotel, Peterborough, UK

​What? Letting go, powering up, empowerment, breathwork, yoga, meditation, active listening, growth, learning, coaching, music, dance, fun, energy, and of course, change!!

​Why? Leading from your core is vital for career progression and business growth. It is the “wow” factor that sets you up for your next promotion, broadens your impact, and gives your career a boost. We face unique challenges when it comes to profile-raising due to systemic bias and can often adopt a “good student” mentality – in which we believe that if we work hard and be a good team player, that others will notice and reward us, when in reality, we need to show up, stand up and speak up if we want change and we want to be noticed. This is all leading to Burnout, and it's time for something new.

Many of our attendees come to our programmes with others, including male colleagues. Here is some of what they have to say:

"I've laughed, I've cried and I've been challenged.  I've challenged others, but mostly I've met some very fabulous, phenomenal, females who are equally as fired up as I am now" Jo Andrews, Leadership Disruptor

"The loudest, most resounding message from a day filled with soul, with compassion and an unrelenting belief in all the people in the room to Rise up! To Power up! To Thrive! Thank you for putting together the most incredible programme today.  Together we showed up, we let go and we powered up in a way that was phenomenal to witness, not only for myself but for all my new friends too!!" Bep Dhaliwal, Resilience Coach

"A day of self-development, fun and learning. Pushing my boundaries too!" Paula Senior, Fundraising Manager

​"I felt privileged to experience Power Up at first-hand.  Saying thank you just doesn't seem enough" Mandy Withers, Virtual HR Director

No doubt you've been to empowering development days before where you leave feeling energised and ready to make the necessary changes to your life and work, but by the time you get back to the office, you've not maintained all of that drive and momentum, me too! So to keep the learning power-full, attendees will also receive follow-up resources and reminders from the day to keep them moving forward in a way that benefits their growth and your company.

It's time to power up

Here’s what to expect on the day:

• Get grounded

You can choose to start the day by connecting with your thoughts, feelings and emotions through a morning yoga or meditation session before breakfast

• Gain Clarity on who you are at your core

Throughout the day you'll gain more and more clarity to help you grow, listen more deeply to your own needs and those of others, let go of what's holding you back and Power Up for success​

• Create your personal mission statement

Working in small groups, you’ll develop your own mission statement to help you set your direction and make decisions more easily and effectively after the event and you'll say it loud and proud

• Trust your choices

Tune into your inner voice to reveal the hidden truths about yourself that will empower you to implement change.

• ​Be seen and heard

Can you remember the last time when you felt truly seen and truly heard?  At Power Up you will be seen and heard and you'll learn what this feels like ​

• Let it go and Power Up

You'll let go, release and move on from anything that is holding you back and you'll Power Up in the space that you create​

• The future you

You'll set goals, see your future, reflect and plan so that you leave the day with your mission and vision for you, your way, in your future​

• Plus, the power of the room

Magic really does happen when we come together to drive change for ourselves. The ripples of this change are far-reaching.  And I promise you a day of growth and fun.

You’ll start to experience a shift in your mindset within the first 30 minutes as I take you through an exercise to help you understand who you are at your core.  And you’ll begin to eliminate the high-level if’s and but’s to help you grow further and challenge deeper throughout the day.

There’s no prescribed one-size-fits-all approach to anything.  Your personal mission statement is created based on you: your values, your beliefs, your wants and your needs for your future.  Not anyone else’s.

You’ll then turn up the volume on anything that you feel is holding you back and I’ll lead you through an empowering activity to help you break down barriers and remove blockages as we move into the holotropic breathwork and listening leader exercise. 

You’ll then experience what it really feels like to stand in your power, to be the power-full leader, the power-full woman that you know you are before you are truly seen as the power-full woman that you really are.

After lunch, you'll create your perfect day and your ideal future before setting your power-full goals.

After some reflection time, you’ll be feeling like you can achieve everything you want in life, and you’ll realise that this will require you to step out of your comfort zone, the if’s and but’s might start to creep back in, so you’ll experience another impactful and empowering exercise to help you to step out of your comfort zone with courage before moving into the power circles to close the day.

We’ll then have some high-energy fun, there will be music, laughter, support, and encouragement before you take a few moments of quiet reflection time.  And if you still want more, you can join me after the event for a Q&A and then a private dinner (20 places available for dinner)

But the learning doesn’t stop there!

You’ll receive follow-up resources and tools to help you to keep implementing the learning after the event so that you can keep the momentum flowing.
