At The Stack World Women & Power Summit Africa Brooke, the globally recognised Consultant, Mentor, Writer and international speaker, led a transformative workshop on The Power To Use Your Voice. With seven years of experience supporting individuals in the public eye, Africa Brooke’s expertise lies in assisting individuals in navigating personal and professional challenges related to self-sabotage and self-censorship. Her journey to sobriety in 2016 became the catalyst for her career in personal development, and she has since made a significant impact in this field. She has also contributed to publications such as The Guardian, featured as a guest on Steven Bartlett's popular The Diary of a CEO Podcast and hosts a self-improvement and philosophy podcast called "Beyond the Self." With a robust list of accomplishments, including appearances on ITV, BBC Radio One, BBC Radio 4, and BBC Sounds, keynotes at prestigious institutions like Cambridge University, and consulting and coaching the likes of Vogue, Rolls Royce and Universal Music Group. It is clear that Africa's influence is undeniable. Empowerment often begins with raising one's voice, and Africa's workshop shed light on the importance of speaking up, not just for yourself but for women worldwide. In this session she guided Stack members through the profound process of transitioning from self-censorship to mindful expression. Here’s a recap of the insights members gained during the workshop: *Effective Communication: The workshop emphasised the three core components of effective communication: awareness, responsibility, and authentic self expression. Africa provided memebers with guidance on owning one's voice by avoiding the censorship of your messaging by maintaining your true identity and personality when wanting to communicate authentically. *Self-Awareness: Workshop participants learned the significance of self-awareness in communication and the importance of understanding what works and what doesn't in their communication style. *Overcoming Self-Censorship: Africa addressed the reasons people often suppress their voices and explained the value of authenticity when using one's voice. *Managing Ego: She discussed the importance of managing one's ego in the pursuit of bold expression and provided insights into overcoming the key blockers that hinder the use of one's voice. Contrary to popular belief, courage is not simply a natural-born trait. It's a skill that can be honed through honest self-reflection, clear intention-setting, repeated action, calculated risk-taking, and a willingness to lean into discomfort. In an era that calls for more courageous individuals willing to lead open conversations, exhibit brave leadership, and introduce fresh ideas, the ability for women to use their voice has never been more crucial. #thestackworld #womenandpowersummit

As we know the statistics around female founded startups is scarily low. For every £1 of venture capital (VC) investment in the UK, all-female founder teams get less than 1p, all-male founder teams get 89p, and mixed-gender teams 10p. Venture capital investment in start-ups with female founders is increasing but progress is very slow. At current rates, for all-female teams to reach even 10% of all deals will take more than 25 years (until 2045) 🤢. That's why we host our Quarterly pitch nights giving talented entrepreneurs the space to present their ventures to a room of investors, fellow founders and supporters. Our November Pitch Night at Huckletree saw seven female-founded and co-founded start-ups pitch their business in industries from Fintech to Healthtech. All of these founders are in the process of raising with many taking cheques from £1k upwards. Here's a glimpse of the evening: - 🌙 luna : A teen-focused digital health companion making waves with its downloads and funding. - 🤖 dermie.AI by Base Plus. An AI skin journaling app revolutionizing skincare routines. - 💹 CloudFO: Offering generative AI for insightful financial analysis and forecasting. - 🌸 Bloomful.io: Personalized women's healthcare with a mission to provide seamless experiences. - 💞 Quinky: Exploring intimacy with a playful twist. - 🏥 Bloume Health: Pioneering AI care for genito-pelvic pain. - 🚀 Overploy: Creating an internal talent marketplace for authentic employee-generated content. 💸 All of these founders are in the process of raising with many taking cheques from £1k upwards so there is no better time to spread the word, make introductions to your network or invest in the future you want to see in the world.
