Inspire Community
The global online community for like-minded women in hospitality.
We empower career growth through an expansive network, amplify women's profiles, and advocates for their presence in decision-making spaces, ultimately fostering gender balance.
Why we started?
The Inspire Community was born from a simple yet powerful question: How can we create more representation and visibility for women in leadership?
What began as a podcast has grown into a global network of women committed to gender balance. Over the years, we’ve seen how visibility creates opportunities, and how community fuels courage.
Alongthe way, we’ve heard far too many stories of women feeling isolated or
unsupported in their careers. Inspire exists to change that. Here, no one
stands alone.Our mission & journey
We envision a gender-balanced world where women are visible, represented, and leading across hospitality and beyond.
By building a strong global community, we:
- Learn and grow together.
- Create meaningful, lasting connections.
- Amplify women’s voices and profiles. Speak with one united voice for change.
The Journey so far
Year 1 – Experimenting, learning, and finding our rhythm.
Year 2 – Expanding into membership tiers focusing on visibility, professional brand, and leadership.
Year 3 (V3) – Moving into more in-person connections alongside our global network. Because when women gather, the energy is transformative.

"Excellent opportunity to engage with other professionals in an informal environment, one that you wouldn't normally have the opportunity to do so unless it was something specifically work related. The roundtable offers people at all levels and points in their career to offer support to advice, no matter their job titles."
