The Virtual Thrive Meetup is an event consisting of three parts: REFLECT, LEARN and GROW.

During the REFLECT section, this month, you will learn a new business tool which will help you develop a fresh vision for your business, along with some specific action to take in order to realise that vision.

During the LEARN section, you will listen to a fireside chat with Andreea Sandu, High Performance Coach, where we will discuss goal-setting and productivity.

During the final section of the Thrive Meetup, GROW, you will have the chance to meet like-minded female founders to make meaningful connections and grow your network.
