A practical workshop for women founders who are ready to earn more money!
At our Growth Lab earlier this year, one woman put her hand up and asked the question everyone was thinking: “This is great – but how do I actually make more money?” We couldn’t stop thinking about it. So here we are.
This is a smaller, hands-on morning, a chance to get into the detail, work on your own business and leave with actions you can actually use. Leading the Masterclass we’ve invited back Laura Brunton – our Growth Lab keynote and the woman who had the whole room on the edge of their seats.
What we'll cover:
- Get clear and focused on your vision so you can think bigger without getting overwhelmed
- Learn the science behind pricing so you feel confident and informed in how you compete in your marketplace
- Audit your brand and visibility. Take an honest look at how you’re showing up right now and what needs to change to attract the right clients
- Show the world you’re ready to make more money
What you'll walk away with:
- Clarity on whether you’re pricing right and what to do about it
- The ability to earn more without the overwhelm or working 24/7
- More confidence in your pricing and how to land the clients you really want
- A personal action plan you can implement straight away
It’ll be a motivating, hands-on session packed with practical tasks and real actions. No death by PowerPoint, we promise!
Raising Finance with NEL Fund Managers
We’re also pleased to be joined on the morning by the team from NEL Fund Managers. NEL have been supporting businesses across the region for over 30 years, offering loans and investment to help businesses start, sustain and grow. They’ll give a practical overview of the funding options available and how to access the right support for your stage of growth. There’ll be plenty of opportunity to ask questions too.
Delivered by Laura Brunton

A Sunderland lass and University of Sunderland graduate – and this summer, after 21 years living across the UK and Australia, she’s coming home. In the years in between, she built a multi six-figure global coaching business from scratch, during a pandemic, while raising three young children. Over five years she has coached more than 1,000 women to grow profitable businesses they love and created a free global community that has supported over 3,000 female founders.
