Breakfast Conversation with guest speaker Laura Barber
Welcome back to the Henley Female Network where every fourth Friday of the month we provide a warm, supportive and welcoming space for conversation, inspiration and connection. Take time for yourself and come along to expand your personal and professional network as you connect with like-minded women. All women are welcome - whether you're self employed, employed, currently taking a break or anything in between. Come for joy, for friendship, for business or for life. Our focus is on connection first and we find that when we start there business and friendship follow naturally.
What 1,200km in a Tuk-Tuk Taught Me About Women, Business & Bravery
In March 2026, Laura Barber swapped boardrooms for a brightly coloured tuk-tuk and drove 1,200km across India with 33 incredible female founders. What followed was six days of chaotic roads, breakdowns, huge highs, terrifying lows, tears, laughter, vulnerability, and friendships forged in circumstances no networking event could ever manufacture. But this wasn't simply an adventure. Timed around International Women's Day, the challenge raised money to support women, girls, and local communities in India, creating an impact that went far beyond the women behind the wheel.
Laura will share the hilarious, terrifying and deeply human story of what happened on those roads, and what it taught her about bravery, business, connection, community, and the extraordinary things that can happen when women step outside their comfort zones together. Come for the tuk-tuk stories. Leave wondering what your own next brave move might be.
