We often start the year full of new ambitions for ourselves and as we reach half-way through the year, we sometimes forget what was and is important to us or we realised we aren’t exactly where we had hoped we would be. This workshop is an opportunity to reconnect with what is important for you right now, allowing the present moment to resonate with you and committing to an action to move you closer to what you want.

Who is this workshop for?

• Anyone seeking a mindful moment and an opportunity to connect with what is important to them right now. 

What can you expect to learn? 

• What you are feeling in this present moment 

• What is important to you right now 

• What you need to do to make this a reality

Who will be leading this session?

Victoire is an Executive and Life Coach, specialising in leadership development and personal confidence. She has worked in an array of industries ranging from construction through to hospitality and worked for FTSE 250 companies.

Since being a mum of two, she has realised the many roles women take on, the importance of balancing work and life demands as well as the need to pave the way for future generations. She launched Tomorrow’s Daughter earlier this year – a company dedicated to coaching women from all walks of life while actively seeking to positively impact on gender balance in the workplace.

10 Ironwomen started in October 2018, when ten friends signed up to Ironman Barcelona (2019). Some had never completed a triathlon before, and didn’t own a bike. Others had never swam in the sea and a few of them hadn’t run a marathon. But despite this, they wanted to send a message to other women that these events were achievable and they could do anything if they set their minds to it. Ironman events are not, as the name might suggest, just for men.

At the time of 10 Ironwomen’s race in 2019, only 13% of the entrants were female. Insight from other women through social media as to why this might be turned out to be ‘women didn’t feel there was a space for them.’

There are over 700,000 more inactive women than men in England and nearly 60% of girls aren’t meeting recommended exercise guidelines.*

We are delighted to announce that Charlotte Greenslade from 10 Ironwomen will be delivering this specially curated session for the running community.

Charlotte joined 10 Ironwomen in  2019 after doing some half Ironman’s and being inspired by the 10 Ironwomen OGs’ journey to a full Ironman. The 10 Ironwomen aim is to increase all female participation in sport and achieve a 50/50 gender participation split in an Ironman. Charlotte is a keen advocate for women and gender equality in sports, representation and breaking down the barriers for this. Without seeing “normal” women in the sport of triathlon she probably wouldn’t have started. Outside of 10 Ironwomen, Charlotte is finishing her medical degree and about to start as a junior doctor.
