ABOUT THE EVENT
From growth slowing to constant pressure, increased costs and decision fatigue, a lot of business leaders are scratching their heads and thinking that something is getting in the way. Not a lack of ambition. Not a lack of effort. But something that is sitting beneath the surface, impacting how you lead, how you decide, and how your business moves forward.
As well as being the founder of BWN Insiders, Mandie Holgate is an internationally recognised business coach, keynote speaker and best-selling author of ‘Fight the Fear’.
She is a trusted advisor with over two decades of experience and has worked directly with business owners and leadership teams, across the UK and internationally, to improve performance, increase profitability and lead with greater confidence. Known for not sugar coating her words and being totally transparent on the issues, she brings a rare combination of commercial insight and practical thinking, looking to cut through overwhelm and get results.
Mandie will chat to us about her background and personal journey, but we will also explore:
• What’s really causing businesses to feel stuck or slower than they should be.
• Why working harder isn’t always the answer (and what to do instead).
• The hidden pressures affecting your decisions and leadership.
• How to gain clarity, refocus and move your business forward with confidence.
This isn’t a motivational talk. It’s a straightforward, real-world conversation about leadership, pressure and performance, with practical ideas you can take away and use immediately.

BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH
Any IT started as many IT companies do, fixing computers and solving immediate problems. But they quickly realised their clients needed more than quick fixes. They needed a partner who could help them use technology strategically.
So they transformed themselves into a process-driven, proactive MSP. They standardised their approaches, invested in the best tools, and built a team that thinks like business consultants, not just technicians.
Today, they're proud to be the IT department that local businesses rely on, not just when things break, but as they plan for growth, navigate challenges, and build their future.
