I (Rach), recently had the absolute pleasure of attending GenCollective’s first social event for the year, and Rise was so proud to be sponsoring it. 🤍
We spent the afternoon at the beautiful Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, and the event was broken up into two parts: a Clarity Reset Workshop with Chloe Blake, followed by GenCollective’s first social networking catch-up of 2025.
What I love most about GenCollective events is that they don’t feel like ‘networking events’. They’re intentional. There’s genuine connection. There’s always something to take away; a learning, a new connection, a thought-provoking conversation, or an insight you can actually apply to your professional journey.
Most of all, GenCollective always feels like a catch-up with friends. And last Thursday, there were so many people in that room who made me feel connected, comfortable, and incredibly supported. Being in a space filled with such inspiring women is always energising, and having Rise sponsor the event last week was the icing on the cake.
Thank you so much to Chloe for such a valuable, practical workshop, and to the GenCollective committee for (once again) bringing us all together and hosting another incredible event. So grateful to be part of this community ✨
