Getting Started with Positive Women in Business
What if my business is still small?
Members join Positive Women in Business at many different stages of their journey.
Some are just beginning their business, while others lead established companies or
organisations. What matters most is a willingness to learn, grow and contribute to the
community.
The diversity of experience in the room often creates valuable perspective for everyone.
Do I need to prepare anything before attending?
No preparation is required. Members are simply encouraged to come ready to participate in
conversation, listen to the speaker and connect with other women in the room.
Many members choose to bring a notebook to capture insights and ideas from the
discussions.
How will this help my business?
While the environment is relational and supportive, the conversations are purposeful
and practical.
Guest speakers and expert contributors share insights across key areas of business
including sales, marketing, leadership, financial clarity and decision-making. Members often
leave with ideas they can apply immediately within their business or leadership role.
Learning from other women who are navigating similar experiences is often just as valuable
as hearing from guest speakers.
Will I feel welcome or out of place?
Many women feel slightly nervous before attending their first event, but those feelings
usually disappear quickly.
Positive Women in Business gatherings are intentionally designed to be warm, welcoming
and conversational. Rather than large networking environments, they are curated spaces
where women can connect naturally and build genuine relationships.
You do not need to know anyone before you arrive. Most members attend their first event on
their own and leave having met several women they would like to stay connected with.
Is this for someone like me?
Positive Women in Business is designed for women who are involved in business or leadership. Many of our members run their own businesses, lead teams, work as consultants, or hold senior roles within organisations.
Women join Positive Women in Business because they want to grow professionally while also being part of a community that values integrity, encouragement and meaningful relationships. Members come from a wide range of industries and stages of business, but they share a desire to learn, grow and support one another.
PROGRAMS
Program, Structure, and Delivery
Is there an online community for members?
Members will be invited to join a private online community where they can stay connected
between events, share insights and continue conversations with other women in the
program.
This space helps maintain relationships and encouragement between gatherings.
Will people try to sell to me?
Positive Women in Business gatherings are not designed as sales forums.
Members are encouraged to build authentic relationships and share their experience and
expertise, but the focus is on meaningful conversation and mutual support rather than direct
promotion.
Opportunities for collaboration and referrals often arise naturally through genuine
relationships.
Who else will be there?
Positive Women in Business attracts women from a wide variety of industries including
professional services, consulting, retail, health, education, creative industries and corporate
leadership.
Some members are early in their business journey while others have many years of
experience. This diversity creates rich conversations and opportunities for learning from one
another.
What unites the room is a shared commitment to growth, integrity and supporting other
women in business.
Are the programs faith-based?
Yes, Positive Women in Business is founded in the Christian faith so all programs are faith-informed.
How long does each program run?
Each event runs for approximately 1.5 - 2 hours. These sessions are intentionally designed to be focused and meaningful while fitting within the busy schedules of women in business.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Events and Locations
Are programs online, in person, or both?
Positive Women in Business events are usually held in person. If an event has a hybrid or online option, it will be stated in the event invitation.
Can I attend events without joining a program?
Most events are open to members only. When an event is open to the broader community, the event registration will make it clear of the cost for members and non-members.
Where are your events usually held?
Events are held in Melbourne, with specific locations announced per event.
SPONSORSHIP
Sponsorship
What does sponsorship include?
This depends on the level of sponsorship, but may include an on-air campaign with 89.9 TheLight, brand visibility at Positive Women in Business events and communications, and other opportunities. Visit the Sponsors page to learn more.
SUPPORT
