    2026 is the year you build your influence.

    Where women in hospitality, travel and real estate develop the influence they need to be heard, trusted and recognised for the leaders they are.

    Q1 2026 intake closes: Janaury 16 2026

    New in 2026: Inner Circle and Founders Collective

  • Why influence?

    Inspired by our event in London in November 2025 where our theme was: influence

    Whilst we covered a lot in one day, it was nearly not enough time to go through all the content.

    Why is influence important and how does it connect to the overall mission? - We build influence to have an impct and achieve the success that we define for ourselves.

    And whether you are in corporate or an entreprenuer, or both (who said we have to be one or the other) influence is a skill that can be learnt

    You are capable, smart, you know your stuff....

    But somehow.....

    • Your voice gets lost in the room
    • Others take credit for your ideas
    • You are passed for opportunities you deserve
    • You feel like you are working twice as hard to get half the recognition
    • You are exhausted from trying to prove yourself

    Here is the truth: It is not about working harder. It is about building influence.

  • What is the Inspire Community?

    A year-long membership where women in hospitality, travel and real estate build real sustainable influence.

  • Introducing in 2026

    The Founders Collective

    Have a business idea? Let's bring it life (members-only)

    You are working in corporate. You have an idea. Maybe it is a consulting practise, a produce, a service or something completely new. But every time you think about it, doubt creeps:

    • Is this idea actually good?
    • Would anyone pay for this?
    • Should I quit my job or build on the side?
    • What if I fail?

    So the idea stays in your head. Year after year.

    The Founder Collective changes that.

    How it works

    Step 1: Present your idea

    Submit your business idea to be reviewed by our Board of Entrepreneurs—successful women in hospitality who've built their own businesses and are members of the Inspire Community. Vetting sessions twice per year.

    Step 2: Get vetted

    The Board reviews your idea, asks tough questions, and provides honest feedback. Not every idea will move forward—and that's okay. Better to know now than after you've invested months.

    Step 3: Join the Entreprenuer Track (if approved)

    If your idea gets verified, you're invited to join our Entrepreneur Track program—where you'll get the resources, support, and accountability to bring your idea to life while keeping your corporate job.

    This is for you if:

    ✅ You have a business idea but need validation

    ✅ You're unsure if it's worth pursuing

    ✅ You want honest feedback from people who've done it

    ✅ You need accountability to actually start

    ✅ You want to build while keeping your job security

    Important: The Founders Collective is only available to Inspire Communtiy members.
