The Female Founders Table - October Gathering

Your business needs you well.

When you’re building a business, leading a team, looking after clients, finding opportunities and trying to make everything work, your own wellbeing can quickly move further down the list.

There is always something else that feels more urgent.

But your energy, health and resilience aren’t separate from the success of your business.

They help make that success possible.

For our October Female Founders Table, we’ll be joined by Shakira Taylor, founder of Fitness With Shakira, for an interactive session exploring Health, Wellbeing & Movement for Sustainable Success.

This isn’t another session telling busy women they need to add more things to their already-full lives.

Instead, we’ll explore realistic ways to look after the person behind the business.

You.

Health, Wellbeing & Movement for Sustainable Success

As founders, entrepreneurs and leaders, it’s easy to spend so much time building our businesses that we neglect the one thing powering it all: ourselves.

During this practical and engaging session, Shakira will explore the relationship between movement, health, wellbeing and how we perform in our businesses and working lives.

We’ll look at how small, sustainable changes can support your energy, concentration, resilience and overall wellbeing — without creating another impossible wellbeing checklist.

You’ll leave with:

• A better understanding of how movement can affect your energy, focus and productivity
• Practical wellbeing strategies that work alongside a busy founder lifestyle
• Simple ways to reduce stress and strengthen resilience during demanding periods
• Tools to help you manage your daily energy and reduce the risk of burnout
• One personalised action you can start using immediately to support your health and wellbeing

Most importantly, this is about finding what is realistic for you.

What is the Female Founders Table?

The Female Founders Table is a curated, intimate gathering for women founders, entrepreneurs and social impact leaders across London.

Conversations. Clarity. Community.

This isn’t a panel.

It isn’t performative networking.

And you don’t need to arrive with a perfectly polished elevator pitch.

It’s a room for honest conversation, shared thinking and practical clarity with other women who understand something of what it means to build, lead and create.

Each Female Founders Table brings together:

An inspiring input session
Learn from someone with practical expertise and lived experience.

Peer mentoring and conversation
Bring your own ideas, questions and challenges into the room.

Intentional networking
Build genuine relationships rather than simply collecting business cards.

You’ll have space to think, talk, ask questions, learn from other founders and leave with something you can actually use.

Who is this for?

This session is designed for women who are:

• Founders and business owners
• Freelancers and consultants
• Social entrepreneurs
• Leaders of purpose-driven organisations
• Building a business alongside employment or other responsibilities
• Looking for a more sustainable way to grow without constantly running on empty

Whether your business is established or still evolving, you’re welcome at the table.

Come for the conversation.

Come for the practical insight.

Come to meet other women building businesses across London.

And leave with greater clarity about how you can look after the person your business depends on most.

You.

Spaces at the Female Founders Table are intentionally limited to keep the experience conversational, useful and connected.

Book your place and join us at the table.
