Human-First Networking London - International Women's Day Special

March Human First - INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY SPECIAL CELEBRATION

Monthly In-Person Event for Women in Business

Wednesday 11 March. 12:00–3:00. Balham, London

2026 is already being called the year of trust and community, and we are building that right here.

This is a networking experience for women who want meaningful conversations, deeper connection and a space where they feel truly supported. Not transactional. Not performative. Not algorithm dependent.

Just real women, real connection and real momentum. Human first.

A warm, uplifting afternoon designed to help you:

✨ Connect with like-minded women
✨ Build relationships that turn into collaborations, clients and referrals
✨ Feel supported instead of isolated
✨ Grow your visibility in a grounded, human-first way
✨ Be part of a community that wants to see you win

This is the room where conversations spark momentum.

Every Human-First Networking event includes:

• Coffee, pastries and gentle arrival connection
• A 20-minute Guest Expert Spotlight
• Three Community Spotlight sessions (5 minutes each)
• Organic networking that feels relaxed, natural and truly human
• A nurturing space to meet new women with openness and ease

•Goodie Bag Sponsor Spotlight!

This event is brought to you by Karen and Louise, two women deeply committed to connection, community and helping others rise.

Karen Farrell is a Speaking Mentor and founder of Speaker Ready. She helps women step into their voice, own the room and communicate with power, clarity and heart. With a blend of expertise and warmth, Karen supports women to speak with confidence and to be truly heard.

Together, Karen and Louise are creating a networking experience that feels real, warm and powerful. A space where women can connect as humans first and let business unfold naturally.

Michelle is a Clinical Nutritionist and Holistic Wellness Expert who helps high-functioning, quietly-struggling women make sense of confusing symptoms and finally feel well again. With over 17 years’ experience and 500+ clients worldwide, she combines clinical insight, behavioural science, and real-world practicality to cut through the wellness noise. Known for her grounded, no-fluff approach, Michelle helps audiences find clarity, energy, and confidence in their own bodies. When not on stage, she’s usually found with coffee (before noon!), a handpan, and the sea.

✨ Expert Session

This talk cuts through the wellness noise to show why symptoms rarely exist in isolation — and why more effort isn’t the answer. Michelle guides audiences through a practical, root-cause lens, helping them understand what’s really driving fatigue, stress, low energy, and “off” health. With grounded science and real-life examples, she shares how small, well-chosen shifts can create lasting change — without turning wellbeing into a full-time job.

Audiences will leave with:

• A clear framework for connecting symptoms and identifying true root causes
• Simple, science-backed shifts they can apply immediately in real life
• Confidence in how to support their energy, health, and resilience long-term
