Power, Boundaries & the Hidden Cost of Being a Woman Founder

Power, Boundaries & the Hidden Cost of Being a Woman Founder

What happens when someone your business depends on crosses a professional boundary?

An investor you need to fund your business. A customer who could transform your revenue. A mentor, adviser or influential industry contact.

For women founders, navigating power, boundaries and uncomfortable behaviour can be an unspoken part of building a business, particularly when speaking up or walking away could have commercial consequences.

Join us for an open and practical conversation with our expert panel, who will share tools and techniques to help you:

  • Recognise when professional boundaries are being crossed.

  • Respond confidently to inappropriate or uncomfortable situations.

  • Navigate difficult power dynamics.

  • Protect yourself while managing important professional relationships.

  • Know when to challenge, escalate or walk away.

This isn't just about starting a conversation. It's about giving women founders practical tools to navigate situations we don't talk about enough.
