To mark the opening of Inspire Club doors on Monday 21st September we are bringing you exclusive stories from our members on Instagram Live every day that week at 8pm.
Kicking off on Monday 21st September with ‘Sisterhood Over Rivalry‘ I will be joined by four leading South Asian Coaches: Preet Kalsi, Gurpreet Kaur, Bep Dhaliwal & Manjeet Nijjar. This was inspired by a comment made to me when I launched Inspire Club: “Why would you want other coaches in your membership they are your competition and will take your clients!” my response was: “Get outta here, we are stronger together and a force to be reckoned with, I choose sisterhood over rivalry!”. It was the best decision ever. Having these and other talented coaches in the club is amazing! Members have access to their wisdom, I have the support of incredible peers and they love being a part of this dynamic community.
On Tuesday 22nd September we have three members joining me with their husbands as we discuss “Supporting Your Wife’s Personal Growth”. Deepa Sapra, Lorna Nanada Gangotra and Navrup Kaur with their spouses will be talking about the impact of Inspire Club. The ripple effect of women growing, developing and living a life with more confidence and less limitations is felt positively by the whole family. Whilst some South Asian men are supportive of their wives (I am on occasion contacted by husband’s to coach their wife!) this is something that we would love to see more of in our wider community.
On Wednesday 23rd September our theme is “Stronger Together”. We have seen women come together to collaborate and join forces in Inspire Club to further each other’s message and vision. I always think a woman alone has power; collectively we have impact. The truth is that raising each other up and advocating the power of collaboration is truly how we’ll change the dynamics—and have a lot more fun along the way. We need to reverse the stereotype that women don’t support other women. There is a lot of research that shows women in particular benefit from collaboration over competition.
Thursday 24th September our theme is “Sisters Through The Ages”. With our youngest member aged 23 and our most mature at 60, Inspire Club covers a wide age range! But we are united in our belief that sisterhood is ageless, we all have something to offer: maturity, wisdom that comes with age, life experience combined with the freshness of youth and different ideas is a dynamic, potent mix! Join us as members talk about their experiences.
On our final day, Friday 25th September, Together We Rise, I will be joined by members sharing their stories of the impact Inspire Club has had on them over the last few months. We remove our masks, let it down and expose it all to each other. Relationships with women are so important. It is what bounds us, strengthens us, and empowers us. It is a sacred bond. Whether these friendships are short term or are forever, we cherish them. Sisterhood is a bond that goes beyond being family. It connects women to each other and in its most magical manifestations, allows each woman in the sisterhood to thrive in ways she could never do on her own.
All lives to be watched on Instagram Live at 8pm. Starting Monday 21st September – Friday 25th September 2020.
