The DrivenWoman & Blooming Founders Summer Party
Event Information
Description
Hey! Summer is around the corner and the lighter (hopefully warmer) evenings are not that far away.
A perfect opportunity, therefore, for us to get together for a relaxed but informative evening doing what we do best - meeting people, connecting, growing whilst having fun - over delicious snacks and drinks!
We are thrilled that this event is co-hosted by Lu Li of Blooming Founders - a high-impact platform for female founders, freelancers and women in startups and Miisa Mink of DrivenWoman - a members’ network that helps women define their own success, become accountable to their goals and make dreams happen
Our Event Speaker -
Our speaker for the evening is Jo Wimble-Groves - who is a global award winning businesswoman who co-owns a communications company 'Active Digital’ which she operates with her brother. She started out as a young entrepreneur when she was sixteen and with their sheer determination, tenacity and can-do attitude they have created a very successful company with offices in Kent, London and Dublin.
Jo is also passionate about encouraging the future generation of business leaders and is a keynote speaker at events and a regular speaker in schools, talking about her success in business and how important it is to just put your hands up and having the confidence to give things a go. Jo is also a very successful writer having featured in The Times, The Guardian, Instyle Magazine and Cosmopolitan and she also runs the popular blog www.guiltymother.co.uk which now has over 27k followers.

DrivenWoman, a new fast growing ‘Lifeworking’ concept is helping hundreds of women to reach their goals, follow their dreams and make their life work. It's a members’ network that helps women define their own success, create positive habits and put plans into action, one small step at a time. We do this by sharing our progress, keeping each other accountable and inspiring each other in monthly group meetings.
There aren’t any other forums like this where women support each other in such a safe and honest environment. It's a community that encourages everyone to believe anything is possible if you are ready to put work into it. You can find DrivenWoman 'Lifeworking' groups in the Greater London area in the UK, in Switzerland, Finland and Singapore.
