Running a business without a clear strategy often looks like being busy, reactive and permanently behind - even when things are technically going “fine”.

Meet Your Hosts + Facilitators
Hosted by Secret Women’s Collab, in partnership with the City of Kwinana, this event is designed to support women in business across our community to expand their capability and capacity through high-value learning and development - without the pressure, posturing or awkward networking.
We’re thrilled to be welcoming Donna Bates. Donna has a rare gift of finding order in chaos, supporting businesses to achieve their strategic vision delivering results through a strong organisational, operational and marketing tempo. Donna’s passion is creating excellence by doing what she loves. She does what comes naturally to her; finding ways to proactively move businesses towards their vision.
In this Lunch & Learn session, Donna will guide us through a strategic planning session tailored specifically to women in business - practical, grounded, and immediately useful.
What this session is about
This is a practical planning session, supporting you to transition from feeling busy but unclear, making reactive decisions and second guessing yourself and your priorities to confident in your next steps with a strategic lens you can actually use.
You can expect to explore:
- How to step out of day-to-day survival mode and into intentional planning
- Identifying what actually matters for your business right now
- Clarifying priorities so you’re not trying to do everything at once
- Aligning your goals with your capacity, energy and real life
The Community
As with all Secret Women’s Collab events, this Lunch & Learn is about more than just the content.
You’ll also experience:
- Real conversations with other women in business
- Genuine connection without the pressure to pitch
- A welcoming, inclusive community
If you’re coming for the first time, feel confident that you’ll be welcomed to a warm and inviting space, with a community of women who “get you”, with no pressure to perform.
