Invest Like a Woman | A Half-Day Workshop on Building Wealth
Description
Invest Like a Woman - Half‑Day Investing Workshop
You know you should be investing. But where do you actually start? 💸
If you’ve been meaning to “look into investing” for months (or years), you’re not alone. Most women say they want to build wealth, but between the jargon, the overwhelm, and the feeling that investing is for “other people,” it stays on the to‑do list.
This workshop is designed to change that in one Saturday morning.
Invest Like a Woman is a half‑day, in‑person workshop where you’ll learn how to build a real investment portfolio in plain English, with no judgement, and from someone who started exactly where you are who’s learned by doing: buying and selling property, investing in shares and ETFs, and building a portfolio that now supports her lifestyle.
Why Sheena?
If you’re wondering “why should I learn from her?”, here’s why:
✅ CoastFIRE‑d walked away from traditional corporate life earlier than the default, by designing a lifestyle that works for her.
✅ Property investor bought 3 investment properties, sold 1, and lived the real‑world numbers and lessons
✅ Global investor mindset travelled the world, lived across different tax and investment regimes, and learned how money moves internationally.
✅ RG146 Tier 2 formally qualified in financial services, so you’re learning from someone who understands compliance and ethics, not just “hot tips.”
✅ Built a real portfolio 500K+ growth in 2 years across real estate, shares, ETFs, angel investing, and venture capital funds.
✅ 10 years in high‑performance corporate sales ran revenue, commercial strategy, and negotiations at LinkedIn, Zoom, Gartner, and Revolut.
✅ Founder of fireyfemmes created a media and podcast platform dedicated to women and investing because she wants every woman to have access to this knowledge.
You’re learning from someone who:
started with no finance background,
made real mistakes and learned from them,
and built a repeatable framework for wealth‑building
