International Women's Day Forum

Join BIPC Lewisham International Women’s Day event supporting female founders develop and grow as part of our quarterly Women in business forum. This celebration event will bring together female founders with a growth mindset for two workshops, panel discussion and networking opportunities.

Workshops presented by Rhiannon Okoye a clinical hypnotherapist, performance coach, and founder working at the intersection of psychology, nervous system regulation, and sustainable success for women. She specialises in supporting female founders, leaders, and entrepreneurs to build capacity, confidence, and businesses that grow without burnout.

Rhiannon’s work bridges inner capacity with practical business application. Her approach is evidence-informed and centred for women navigating visibility, leadership, and entrepreneurship designed for modern working realities.

Rhiannon’s experience delivering workshops, talks, and programmes for community organisations, corporates, and public-sector partners, supports women to build confidence, clarity, and sustainable pathways into self-employment and enterprise.

Building Capacity: Sustainable Success for Female Founders - Freedom in mind, body, business and boardrooms.

Women founders are not failing due to lack of ambition or ideas but due to capacity constraints: nervous system overload, lack of confidence, unclear structure, and limited access to practical, psychologically safe business education.

This workshop supports women to:

• Build personal capacity (confidence, clarity, resilience

• Develop practical capacity (business models, online foundations)

• Create sustainable pathways into self-employment and entrepreneurship

Visibility Without Burning Out: Psychological Safety for Female Founders

Focus Areas:

• Psychological safety as a growth lever
• Fear of visibility, criticism, and being “seen”
• Boundaries between personal life, brand, and business
• Nervous system responses to scaling (launches, exposure, growth)

• Build confidence reframing visibility as a strategic, trainable skill
• Identify what currently blocks growth
• Learn how to show up consistently without burnout
