Built to Last: A Founder Event Series
Bi-Monthly business events for founders who want connection, coffee and sustainable growth.
Real conversations.
Practical insights.
What these events are about
Running a business can feel lonely, especially when you’re the one making the decisions, creating the vision and carrying the weight of it all.
These bi-monthly events are designed to a space to step out of your day-to-day, get out of your head and to reconnect with your vision and some incredible entrepreneurs.
Each session focuses on one core area of business that, when strengthened, makes everything else feel lighter: sales, money, marketing, confidence and community.
This isn’t a keynote.
It’s not a workshop where you leave with a to-do list you’ll never finish.
It’s a live, honest conversation with practical insights, shared experiences and real tools you can apply immediately.
You’ll walk away excited, inspired and with more confidence in your business.
Who these events are for
This is a space for founders who want to grow their business well.
Where conversations go beyond ‘what do you do?’
Where ambition is supported, not performative.
And where connection matters more than being the busiest person in the room.
If you want real conversations that help you think better, lead better and build with more ease, this is for you.

I’m Rosie, your business success coach.
From law papers to flowers, my journey is built on many failures: I dropped my law degree, quit advertising and eventually quit attempting to do what was expected of mw and instead, create a values aligned life that challenged the status quo.
My first business was a passion project and where my love of business and entrepreneurship began. In a big to escape the tedium of corporate drudgery I started a florist business, growing it from the garden shed to a 6 figure Ponsonby Road success story.
More than a decade later, working with Saben, Dermalogica and the Icehouse, I helped launch the Empow/HER Scholarship and it was here that my passion for working with female founders & business owners evolved into my own coaching business.
Now I help business owners feel courageous and confident to grow a business of their own which allows them to create a life by design, not by default.
Our Instagram Community is pretty great too!
