Let's look back at our biggest event last year: Sip & Share! Three amazing and inspiring speakers, a beautiful location, and beauty goodie bags — that day exceeded everyone's expectations (yes, safe to say!). So, what made it so special, and why should you be sad you missed it? Keep reading!

empowering speakers

This event wouldn’t have been such a success without our amazing and truly empowering speakers. We invited three inspiring women from our community to join our networking event and share their insights with our community of ambitious women. So, who were they, and what did they speak about?

Leandra Troost, Founder and CEO of MyOffice

The founder of MyOffice herself came to our event to inspire the crowd! Leandra, with her impressive background in real estate, manages all MyOffice locations across the Netherlands and *is the kind of woman leader many of us aspire to become*.
This was one of her first events as a speaker, and we are beyond grateful that she chose to share her story at our event and collaborate with us on behalf of MyOffice. Follow her journey on LinkedIn, and we hope to welcome Leandra back at our next event!

Annemarie Sanderink, Chairperson and Presenter

Annemarie from 360Talk took the stage at our event and left the audience truly inspired! With her expertise in presentation training and personal branding, she guided us through the essentials of *building a strong personal brand*—proving that even the colors you choose can make an impact.
As Project Lead at EMS Noordelijk Mentorprogramma, Annemarie is dedicated to helping others grow, and her talk reflected just that. She shared invaluable insights on how to present yourself with confidence, make a lasting impression, and stand out in your field.
We are so grateful to have had Annemarie as a speaker, and we can't wait to see more of her inspiring work!

Kéola Toisuta, Holistic Recovery Coach

Our third speaker was none other than Kéola—back for her second time at SheGROWS, and we just love having her every time! Kéola has this incredible ability to create a safe space where people feel comfortable opening up—a skill that’s easier said than done.
This time, she delivered a powerful presentation on *turning your weaknesses into strengths*, and wow, what a mindset shift! You could feel the motivation in the room as everyone reflected on how they could reframe their struggles into stepping stones for growth!

Goodie Bags – Our First Sponsored Event!

This event was extra special because—for the first time ever—we had sponsors! And not just any sponsors, but women-led brands supporting our SheGROWS community.

Sophie and Chiara from ROQUEBRUN. treated our attendees to their amazing mini serums, adding a touch of luxury to everyone’s skincare routine. And Manouk de Vries from Supercilium sent over some great brow cosmetics, making sure our girls left with the perfect beauty essentials.

We are beyond grateful for these incredible women who believed in our mission and helped us kick off event sponsorships in the best way possible.
