Business Women Scotland: Empowerment Lunch Series 2026
Confidence at the Table: A Power Lunch Series for Women in Business
It’s time to change the conversation around confidence — and it starts with a seat at the table.
BWS Confidence at the Table is a three-part lunch series designed for women who are ready to rise, speak up, and lead with impact. Whether you're climbing the ladder, leading the charge, or looking for your next bold move, these lunches will connect you with like-minded women, real stories, and practical strategies to build confidence in every corner of your career.
Each lunch features open discussion, inspiring guest speakers, and tangible takeaways — all served in a welcoming, supportive space that champions growth at every level.
A series of three exclusive lunches, designed to explore the psychology of women in the workplace and address issues that can hold women back, including challenges that may arise during becoming a new Mum, menopause and other life transitions. These lunches provide a supportive space to inspire confidence, share strategies, and celebrate women in business.
