The Isle of Man Women's Collective

Earlier this week we welcomed Kirstie Nickson from Sidekick PR for a webinar exploring the basics of PR - what it is and why it matters to your organisation. Thank you Kirstie for an informative session! Members can watch the replay on the Members' Zone from this evening.

Tickets are free for IOM Women's Collective members or £25 pp, including a light buffet, teas and coffee.

A year ago today we hosted our first ever event - a panel discussion featuring three wonderful local women entrepreneurs Stefanie Kerwin, Kirsty Lawrence and Samantha Leahy. The event was something we'd planned and pulled together quite quickly after a chat over coffee and we had no idea what it'd lead to. We just knew we'd hit on something special with an amazing energy in the room. Twelve months later we're now running The Isle of Man Women's Collective. Thank you all for supporting our mission and being a part of our community as it grows. Our monthly members' meet-up this morning at Cycle 360 was a wonderful reminder of what a fantastic group this is! To celebrate, we're offering a month free when you purchase a year's membership for 2025. If you'd like to take advantage of this offer, get in touch via [email protected] #isleofmanwomenscollective #iomwc #isleofmannetworking #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs

At our last event, we were thrilled to announce the Manx Breast Cancer Support Group as our official charity partner for the next 12 months. We're looking forward to taking part in their many fundraising activities with our members and to growing our support for the group as we continue to grow, too. #ManxBreastCancerSupportGroup #IOMWomensCollective #IsleofMan

"Know your purpose, know your competitors’ offerings and make a plan" 🙌 In our latest 'Five Minutes With' blog, we chat to Louise Wheeler FIoL, founder of LC Consultancy, about her business highlights and the words of advice she's got to share with fellow women entrepreneurs on the island. https://bit.ly/4flkyh1 #womeninbusiness #isleofmanbusiness #isleofmanwomenscollective

We love this quote from Serena Willams. Women supporting women and celebrating each others' successes is a huge part of our mission. Why not share a success you've had recently below. Let's raise each other up!

We've got lots going on at the Isle of Man Women's Collective in the coming months, from webinars to Speed Networking to regular members' meet-ups. Want to be a part of the community? Head to our website or send us a DM. https://lnkd.in/eq3PsU4p

Wow! What an inspirational evening we had at St Johns Mill Conference & Training Facility yesterday, for our Finding Your Spark Event. We heard from three incredible women entrepreneurs about their business journeys and how they each took their passion and turned it into a career: Lisa Grant - founder of Revolution Ladies Gym; Shan Fisher - founder of Shan Fisher Photography and Shan Fisher Education; and Claire Pearse - founder of Element Isle. We also announced our charity partner, Manx Breast Cancer Support Group. These events never fail to amaze us with the warm energy in the room, supporting and empowering one another to achieve our goals. Want to be a part of it?
