PEARLS OF WISDOM
A SISTER SNOG WONDERFUL-ONE-OFF
Wonderful-One-Offs are a series of out-of-the-ordinary-extraordinary #inperson business events.
Every one is wonderful. With a unique twist.
They're a platform for sparkling conversations and a stage where remarkable business women connect-&-collaborate.
INSPIRE THE TRIBE : With Power Pearls
Wisdom, gained through experience-&-learning, holds the power to illuminate paths, guide decisions and inspire positive change. The act of sharing wisdom creates a sense of connection and empathy, fostering a supportive environment where everyone can learn from each other and collectively strive towards tribal unity and a sense of community. It's an act of generosity and compassion that strengthens bonds, uplifts spirits and empowers the collective to navigate the complexities of life with grace and understanding.
Book September's Wonderful-One-Off on Friday 13th September 2024 and
be a Pearly Queen in nature's own jewels.
IMPORTANT Bookable by Members of Sister Snog & Curious Non-Members (who have NOT attended a Wonderful-One-Off post-2020).
A SISTERLY TWIST : The Pearly Queens of Sisterliness
- String of pearls Everyone has a story to tell or a cautionary tale about being a woman in business. Whether it’s highpoints, lowpoints, little victories, tiny wins or mega milestones. Or that extra special #cinderellamoment.
- Story spotlight Every story has a pearl of wisdom. After dessert, each guest will be invited to tell their story so that everyone goes home with a jewellery box full of insights, inspiration and a new way of thinking.
DRESS CODE : Release your inner Audrey, Marilyn or Coco
These orbs of moonlight are the embodiment of grace-&-refinement and they never fail to cast that Hollywood-spell. Audrey Hepburn's timeless elegance was epitomized by her portrayal of Holly Golightly, where she draped her little black dress in pearls, imprinting the image of sophistication in the collective consciousness. Marilyn Monroe adorned herself with pearls to add a touch of sensuality while Coco Chanel transformed pearls from symbols of wealth into chic simplicity, epitomizing her belief that 'a woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls'.
VENUE & MENU : University Women’s Club
Founded by the pioneers of education for women, the University Women’s Club is one of Mayfair's best kept secrets. It stands as a vibrant nexus of intellect, camaraderie and empowerment. It's a haven for accomplished women of diverse backgrounds, fostering a rich tapestry of ideas, experiences and connections.
Within its walls, minds intertwine, debates ignite and bonds strengthen. A space where achievements are celebrated, aspirations kindled. The club is a testament to the enduring power of women supporting women, which makes it the perfect venue for September's Wonderful-One-Off.
