BCD ~ Women in Business | OxBucks I 16th October Meeting

This is not a typical networking event.

BCD Women in Business — OxBucks is a structured monthly morning for women who own their own business, lead within an organisation, or are building something significant — built around three pillars: Connect, Educate, Empower.

What to expect

This month, we're welcoming Rachael Robson-Green, Leadership Coach, NeuroSomatic Practitioner and Founder of The Conscious Coaching Group, for a session called Beyond Mindset: Creating the Capacity for Lasting Change.

Even the most capable and committed of us get stuck in old patterns when pressure rises or we hit a new growth edge. Using a NeuroSomatic lens, Rachael shows us what's really driving that — our nervous system state, the load it's carrying, and the protective patterns shaping our capacity for presence, resilience and performance. You'll leave with practical, usable tools for regulation, and a clearer sense of the daily steps that build real capacity over time.

Alongside Rachael's session, the morning brings:

• Woman to Woman — a new Connect activity where you leave having made one specific, actionable connection: naming what you need and what you can offer, then finding the people in the room who can help.
• Clear the Path — our Empower activity, working through real challenges together as a room, live, using a listening-and-thinking method grounded in Nancy Kline's Time to Think.

Plus tea, coffee and proper time to connect with the women in the room, not just swap business cards.

Who this is for

Women in business — whether you own your own business, lead within an organisation, or are building something significant across the private, public, not-for-profit or corporate sector. If you're ambitious, driven, and want peer-level connection and honest conversation, you're welcome.

What this is part of

BCD Women in Business is a professional community built around Connect, Educate, Empower. This monthly morning is where all three come together. Attendees will hear more about ongoing membership on the day

Info: Creating lasting change takes more than mindset. Even the most capable, conscious and committed of us get stuck in familiar patterns when stress and pressure rise, or when we reach our next growth edge. Beyond Mindset goes below the cognitive surface and, using a NeuroSomatic lens, reveals what's really happening beneath the behaviour — how our nervous system state, the sustained load it carries and our protective patterning shape our capacity for presence, connection, resilience and performance. Rachael shares practical tools to help us create the sustainable change we want for ourselves, our businesses and the people we lead, coach and support.

Info: A live, whole-room activity where the community works through real challenges together — grounded in a listening-and-thinking method that helps surface fresh perspective, not quick advice.

Info: Updates from the BCD Women in Business community, including our charity partner The Nasio Trust.

Info: We wrap the structured morning and look ahead to what's next. 12pm -The formal session closes — stay on if you'd like to keep chatting.
