SPEAKER - Helen KenworthyHelen Kenworthy is a certified Business Strategist and Coach, founder, author, actor and creative educator with nearly 30 years' experience spanning business, theatre and education. As a business team leader she runs three interlinked organisations built around one belief: that every person — young or grown, neurotypical or neurodivergent — deserves an environment where their brain is allowed to work with them rather than against them. Helen's coaching draws on evidence-based business frameworks alongside nervous-system-informed practice, and is underpinned by her trademarked "Of Course You Can!™" methodology and her "Brilliantly Underestimated" philosophy — an approach forged from her own experience of being repeatedly underestimated, and now used to help other women, especially those juggling neurodivergence, caring responsibilities or a career that hasn't followed a straight line, back into their own confidence.
She has coached and delivered training for organisations including Bill Kenwright Ltd, The Birmingham Rep, The Birmingham Hippodrome, Magnetic North Youth Theatre, NHS partners and Dog Therapy UK, and holds eleven professional credentials in coaching and business strategy. Whether you're just starting out, rebuilding after a setback, or scaling a business you already love, Helen speaks to entrepreneurs exactly where they are — with warmth, humour, and zero patience for the idea that there's only one "right" way to lead.
She is the founder and director of RYTC Creatives CIC, Education Selection Box CIC, co-founder of Give Get Go Education CIC and co-director of Joyful Living Now Enterprises Ltd.

TOPIC - The Shield of Leadership: Driving Success Through Deep Self-Knowledge, Team Strengths, and Targeted Growth
Forget the myth of the "confident leader" who never doubts herself. Real confidence isn't a personality trait or the loudest voice in the room — it's muscle memory, built through repeated action until fear stops running the show. In this session, Helen Kenworthy unpacks what she calls the leader's "metal shield": the deep, unshakeable self-knowledge that stops external praise or criticism from dictating your worth, your decisions, or your next move.
Drawing on nearly 30 years across business, education and the creative industries, Helen combines evidence-based leadership frameworks with nervous-system-informed coaching to show founders and team leaders how to map what they and their people are naturally good at, spot the "shadow side" that trips up even the best leaders, and build teams around genuine strengths rather than forcing square pegs into round holes. Expect practical, take-home tools including the 40-Day Belief Pattern Interrupt and the "What-If" fear-mapping exercise — techniques Helen uses in her own coaching practice to help leaders dismantle the subconscious barriers that quietly sabotage strategy, however solid that strategy is on paper.
This is a session for anyone ready to lead from self-knowledge rather than self-doubt, and to build a team, and a business, that plays to everyone's actual strengths.

Socially Shared membership is optional, and you can choose to join if you feel that it is the right thing for you and your business. Although, many people do choose to become a member, as it's affordable with lots of benefits and cost savings.
Membership is for you as an individual and you do not belong to any one network area. This provides freedom, enabling you to attend as many meetings and events as you wish, without limitation.
We do not have a one seat policy, because we believe there is more than enough business to go around and there’s so much to learn from each other! Collaboration is something we champion too and this can be stifled by restricting representatives from any one sector.
