Rise & Shine: When you know what you want and need, everything changes.

Join us on Wednesday, 19th November, 2025, at 6.00pm for an exciting in-person event exclusively designed for Wellington Women in Business.

Lisa O’Neill is an energy expert and motivator who is addicted to planning!

You’ll learn how to build your bridge of action, plan purposefully, and stop wasting precious energy on things that don't matter.

Running her own brand and business for over 25 years, Lisa’s secret is creating certainty in a world that constantly demands your attention.
When you know what you want and what you need you free up mental space to live your life instead of just reacting to it.

Get proactive around your energy management. Understanding what depletes you and what recharges you isn't fluffy thinking - it's essential infrastructure for a brilliant year.

Walk away with practical tools to plan your year, protect your energy, and step into 2026 with absolute clarity about your priorities. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters, with the energy you need to do it well.
