International Womens’ Week event at Patch York on Saturday

Organised jointly with Terra Sarda Wines, a local sustainable wines startup, co-founded by Sue Scott, it will feature a roster of business ladies sharing their experience and insight – with compassion for those juggling and struggling!

Drop-in sessions include a spotlight on ‘What do investors really want?’ from founders looking to raise cash, which is particularly relevant given that successful pitches for investment by all-female-led teams are consistently in the low single digits, compared to an 80% success rate among men.

‘Growing a Business Without Burn-out’ will look at the competing demands of a business and family life.

An interactive mini workshop, ‘Challenging Limiting Beliefs’, is designed to demonstrate how listening and understanding the inner voice in business can lead to breakthroughs, and York entrepreneur Emma Lindsay will lead a fireside chat on ‘One year on…’ with contributions from those who’ve survived their first 12 months at the helm.

To round off the event, Terra Sarda Wines and Marion Owens will lead ‘Boss the Bottles’ for women who enjoy wine, but feel they just don’t know enough about it to choose with confidence.

A special collaborative project that weaves women’s stories into a large fabric art piece will run throughout to mark the event.

Organiser Sue Scott said: “Whatever stage they are at on their business journey – established leader, aspiring self-starter, or currently bootstrapping – this is an opportunity for everyone to share, support, chill and chat as we mark this year’s International Women’s Week.
