UNMASKED is a powerful one-day business experience created by Dawn Brown and Louisa Ashforth — two multi-award-winning entrepreneurs bringing together their experience, insight and honest approach to business.
Designed for ambitious female business owners, this is a day to step away from the pressure, take off the mask and explore what really makes a business thrive — from leadership and resilience to people, wellbeing and sustainable growth.
Expect honest conversations, practical strategies, meaningful connections and plenty of real-world experience you can take straight back into your business.
