What You Came Here to Create - Newcastle book launch and bottomless brunch

A beautiful afternoon of bubbles, brilliant women, big ideas and celebrating what's possible.

Join Newcastle author, visibility mentor and PR consultant Bec Sands, in conversation with Allana Ford, founder and CEO of Muse Pilates and Spicy Pilates, for a very special hometown celebration of Bec's new book, What You Came Here to Create: A Guide to Being Confidently Visible and Unlocking Your Potential.

Hosted at the iconic Autumn Rooms on Darby Street, this intimate book launch brings together delicious food and drinks, inspiring conversation and encouragement to go after that big thing you've been dreaming of. Whether you're building a business, growing your career as an executive, launching a creative project or simply ready for a new chapter, this afternoon is for you.

And what better way to celebrate than over a gorgeous bottomless brunch?

A celebration of everything you're here to create

We all have something we want to bring into the world, whether it's a business idea, creative project, bold career move or a bigger, more fulfilling life. But even the most capable, ambitious women can find themselves holding back, second-guessing their next move or waiting until they feel ready.

In What You Came Here to Create, Bec draws on more than 17 years corporate experience in PR, marketing and communications, alongside her personal journey of building a freedom-based business, to explore what it really takes to become confidently visible, own your expertise and create success on your own terms.

This is your invitation to celebrate what's possible when you back yourself and your ideas.

In a special conversation, Bec will be joined by Newcastle entrepreneur Allana Ford, founder and CEO of Muse Pilates and Spicy Pilates, to explore the ideas behind the book and what it really takes to turn ambition into action.

Drawing on their experiences in business, branding and entrepreneurship, Bec and Allana will share honest insights into building confidence, navigating the challenges of putting yourself out there, creating a powerful personal brand and building a business and life on your own terms.

Expect candid stories, practical takeaways, a few laughs and plenty of inspiration to help you take that next step towards what you're here to create.

There'll also be an opportunity to ask questions, connect with like-minded women, have your book signed by Bec and raise a glass to the exciting things ahead.
