Oxfordshire Women In Business

30/06/2026

One of the things I enjoy most about hosting Oxfordshire Women in Business is that I always leave with a smile on my face having learnt something new. Friday was no exception.

Rebecca Lisi's talk on understanding your nervous system, burnout and self-care certainly gave us plenty to think about. One thing in particular stood out for me: self-care isn't something you earn, it's maintenance. Such a simple idea, but one that's very easy to forget when you're busy putting everyone else first.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it another brilliant morning. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces, and lots of women joining us for the first time too.

If you've never been to OWIB before, we'd love to welcome you. We meet every few months to hear from inspiring speakers, network with other women in business and, importantly, spend a couple of hours working on our businesses as well as in them.

Our next event is on Friday 25th September and bookings are now open: https://themarketingshed.thrivecart.com/owib-sept-2026/

Hope to see you there.

How is it nearly the end of June already?!

A quick reminder that our next Oxfordshire Women in Business event is taking place this Friday at the Courtyard Marriott Oxford South (in a large fully air conditioned meeting room!!)

We'll be joined by Rebecca Lisi, who'll be helping us understand more about stress, burnout and why so many women spend their time looking after everyone else whilst quietly running on empty themselves.

There'll be networking, coffee, good conversations and one of my practical implementation exercises to help you take action in your business too.

If you've been meaning to book, there's still time and we'd love to welcome you.

📅 Friday 26th June

🕤 9.30am - 12pm

I wonder how many women look around networking events and think everyone else has things under control?

The successful business owner, the woman confidently introducing herself, or the person who seems organised, capable and completely on top of things.

The reality is often very different. Many of us are juggling businesses, families, responsibilities, expectations and the endless list of things that need doing, whilst appearing absolutely fine on the surface.

That's why I'm looking forward to welcoming psychotherapist Rebecca Lisi to Oxfordshire Women in Business on Friday 26th June.

Her talk, Beyond Bubble Baths: Understanding Your Nervous System, Burnout & Self-Care, explores why so many high-achieving women end up running on empty and what we can do about it.

Alongside the speaker session, there'll be open networking, refreshments and one of my practical implementation exercises to help you take action on your business whilst you're in the room

If you've never been to Oxfordshire Women in Business before, you're very welcome. There's no membership, no pressure and no expectation to attend every event - just come when you can.

Join us for the next Oxfordshire Women in Business networking event on Friday 26th June, 9.30 - 12.00, at the Courtyard Marriott Oxford South.

This month’s speaker is Rebecca Lisi, psychotherapist and workplace wellbeing speaker, who’ll be talking about burnout, stress, nervous system regulation and why so many women are running on empty whilst still appearing completely fine on the outside.

Her session, Beyond Bubble Baths: Understanding Your Nervous System, Burnout & Self-Care, will explore the difference between stress and burnout, the hidden impact of chronic pressure, and what real self-care actually looks like in practice.

As always, there’ll be plenty of time for networking and conversation with others in the room, and if you’ve never been before you can be sure of a very friendly welcome.

Your experience might be exactly what someone else needs to hear...

Last week Jane Abbott spoke about the importance of reviews, of real life experience of you and your services, and how your words can help others too.

As our community strengthens and grows I would love to invite you to share a few words of your OWIB experience, that might help someone else decide to join us at our future meet ups.

Imagine you're talking to someone who has never been before, and tell them:

💭 “What made you feel welcomed or supported when you first joined?”

💭 “What has this group helped you with in your business or confidence?”

💭 “What kinds of connections have you made here that you didn’t expect?”

Thank you for being part of our community.

Ok, so we all know it's Friday 13th and *only* bad things can happen on this day... But what if we flip the narrative?

Turn a negative into a positive and book your ticket to our March Networking Event, happening next Friday!

Aside from the delicious coffee and pastries you'll be surrounded by other inspirational Oxfordshire Women in Business, with a chance to learn something new and grow your network. All in one fabulous morning!
