WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP WAITING TO BE CHOSEN

Join us for an inspiring evening of conversation and connection, followed by a social in the gorgeous Ubuntu Lounge at The Conduit Club.

From early life, many of us are taught to wait — to be picked, noticed, promoted, or included. Even as experienced professionals, founders, or leaders, that mindset can quietly shape how we show up in work and life.

This panel conversation explores what changes when we stop waiting and start choosing ourselves — how we move from hesitation to presence, and from quiet capability to confident visibility.

The evening will feature a drinks reception, networking and an incredible panel discussion.

This event is generously sponsored by Studio10 Beauty and will include a special fireside chat with their founder, Grace Fodor, in conversation with Michelle de Klerk, before the panel.

Meet our incredible speakers for the evening:

• Grace Fodor – Pro-age Advocate & Beauty Entrepreneur | Founder, Studio10 BeautyGrace champions women over 40 by redefining beauty standards and advocating for visibility, self-worth, and confidence at every age.
• Jess Harvey – Career & Leadership Coach | Founder, Female Mentoring AllianceJess supports senior professionals navigating growth and change, helping them lead with clarity and confidence.
