About this Event
✨ WHY ATTEND?
Because building a business can be exciting, rewarding, challenging ... and sometimes bloody lonely!
MIYB gets you out of your day-to-day and into a room with women building businesses at different stages, in different ways and with very different definitions of success.
MIYB = Real women. Real businesses. Real conversations.
In 2.5 hours, you’ll:
✅ Hear the real stories behind successful businesses
✅ Learn from women further ahead, or sharing a different path
✅ Ask founders and leaders the questions you genuinely want answered
✅ Meet local women who could become clients, collaborators, introducers or friends
✅ Get fresh ideas and perspective on your own business
✅ Step away from working IN the business long enough to think about what’s next for YOU
This isn’t polished success stories from a stage.
It’s honest conversation about what it really takes to start, build and grow a business ... and the many different ways to do it.
You might leave with a new idea. A useful introduction. A completely different perspective. Or simply the reassurance that somebody else has wrestled with exactly what you’re wrestling with now.
Come curious. Ask questions. Meet people. See what’s possible.

Meet your host - Debbie Waite
Make It Your Business is led and hosted by Debbie Waite, Strategic Leadership Partner, speaker and founder of Stronger Inside & Out.
For more than 25 years, Debbie has worked with founders, CEOs and leadership teams, helping them navigate the very human realities behind building, leading and growing successful businesses.
Her particular strength is getting beneath the surface (i.e. asking the questions others often don't!), and creating the kind of honest conversations that rarely happen at traditional business events.
Expect warmth, humour and plenty of energy, but also intelligent conversation about the reality of building a business: the decisions, mistakes, pressure, ambition, relationships, and the sometimes brutal lessons that sit behind the success stories.
Debbie works as a Strategic Leadership Partner to scaling founder-led businesses, helping them build stronger leadership and create businesses capable of growing beyond the person who started them.
