CBD Sydney Chamber Women in Business
Wed, Jul 29, 12:30 AM**Leading Through Self Doubt:** **Why Capable People Question Themselves** What if confidence isn't the problem? We're told to be more confident. Read the books. Push yourself. Fake it until you make it. But what if the real issue isn't confidence at all? In a world where change is constant, roles are evolving, and we're expected to make decisions faster than ever, many capable professionals find themselves second-guessing their judgement, waiting for certainty, or believing they need to know more before they can contribute. These aren't personality traits. They're patterns. Patterns shaped by experience, expectations, workplaces and the stories we tell ourselves. And unless we become aware of them, they quietly influence how we show up, the opportunities we pursue, and the impact we're capable of making. Join us for a different kind of conversation—one that goes beyond imposter syndrome and confidence hacks to explore why highly competent people still hold themselves back, and how changing our patterns can change the way we lead. Because confidence doesn't come first. Awareness does.
Guided Women’s Business Networking
Sat, Aug 1, 4:00 AM**A monthly networking experience designed differently!** Our structured networking event is for women who want to grow, not just in business, but as individuals. Through meaningful conversations, thought-provoking reflection questions, and guided table rotations, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, build genuine connections, and challenge yourself to think bigger. **📝 How it works** **1\. Arrive & connect** You’ll be welcomed and seated at a table with a reflection prompt to kick-start the conversation. **2\. Dive into meaningful conversations** Each round explores a different question designed to spark honest discussions around business, personal growth, and the challenges that matter most. **3\. Meet someone new every 20 minutes** We guide every table rotation, so you’ll naturally connect with lots of different women throughout the evening, without any awkwardness. By the end of the night, you’ll leave with meaningful new connections, fresh perspectives, and greater clarity on your next steps. **🔎 How to Find Rabbit Bar** Rabbit Bar can be tricky to spot: 1. Go to the ground floor of **The Galeries** 2. Look for **Toastie Smith** 3. Behind it, you’ll see a semi-enclosed area 4. Walk down into that area 5. On your right, you’ll see a doorway. Enter it 6. Then look for another open door immediately to your right. That’s **Rabbit Bar**! 📲 **Got questions?** Feel free to message me here on Meetup. **Looking forward to a room full of real talk. See you there! xx** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Want to learn more about Her Collective Space?** Follow us on Instagram: [@hercollectivespace](http://www.instagram.com/hercollectivespace/)

Fri, Aug 7, 8:30 AMHarbour After Dark 🌆 Where meaningful conversations, genuine connection, and new friendships begin. Step into a different kind of Friday night. Harbour After Dark brings together Sydney locals who are driven, social, established in what they do, and value genuine conversation, authentic connection, and meeting like-minded people in person. In a world of Zoom calls, remote work, endless scrolling, and busy schedules, many of us are craving something more human. A chance to step away from the screens. To unwind after the week. To meet new people naturally. To enjoy conversations that feel easy, genuine, and energising. Over the past few years, Harbour After Dark has grown into a well-established social gathering where people come to expand their social circles, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
