About this Event
Get support in 2026
Chromia Collective is a community that is both commerical and nurturing. Led by Rachel Ray, a business strategist who scaled her own business from zero to nationwide and achieved a seven figure exit. She knows exactly what it takes to grow a large successful business while maintaining your well-being and work-life balance.
Every month you’ll get a chance to step back from busy-ness and get strategic about your business so that your goals, your brand and your activities are aligned
Our topic this month is Designing a Customer Journey That Makes Buying EASY
- You’ll map your end-to-end customer journey and identify where friction is quietly costing you sales.
- We’ll pinpoint customer pains and design clearer gains at each stage, making it easier for people to buy and buy again.
- The result is higher lifetime value, stronger repeat revenue, and less reliance on constant marketing.
This month our guest expert is Mathilde Vigier Rathor from MVR Therapeutic Coaching. As part of the Collective, she will lead a focused session on Understanding the Mental Load of Leadership and Growth, so that you can:
• Understand the invisible weight founders carry, including emotional load, responsibility, and decision fatigue
• Recognise how this hidden pressure impacts clarity, confidence, and decision-making in your business
• Explore why capable, driven business owners still feel stuck, often due to overthinking and mental chatter
• Learn practical ways to move from rumination into clearer thinking and more decisive action
You will also enjoy roundtable conversations designed to spark referrals, collaboration and real support. Plus connect in-person over delicious San Carlo brunch in a relaxed Cheshire setting
This is more than “networking” it’s a Busines Strategy Brunch, a supportive space for strategy, reflection, action and community.
Whether you’ve struggled with clarity, consistency or confidence, this event gives you structure and warmth.
