“It's impossible to coach yourself. I'm often establishing peer coaching groups, and it's time that I took my own medicine. This is a peer coaching environment, but also one that I'm hoping will help to keep me accountable. ”

Frequently Asked Questions
The Founder’s Table is designed for women who are starting or growing their own business—and want trusted support as they do it.
You might be building something for the first time, or returning to self-employment after a career in leadership or corporate. Maybe you’ve launched your offer, but you're still working out your systems, pricing, or strategy. Or maybe you’re moving from side hustle to serious growth and need a space to think clearly, test ideas, and stay accountable.
This is for you if you're ready to lead your business with more clarity, confidence, and structure, and you want to do it alongside women who are walking a similar path.
​
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be ready to show up, do the work, and support others while you do it.
With multiple cohorts running in Auckland as well as programmes in Wellington, Canterbury, and Online-only (starting from 25th August 2026), please get in touch for a full list of dates relevant to your area.

Yes, while the programme is designed around in-person connection, virtual participation is available if you're unable to attend a session in person.

If you have questions about how virtual attendance works, or whether the Online Only table might be a better fit for you, we're happy to talk it through with you.
The investment to join the Founder's Table is $300 per month.
