The Connect Table
A private table for women running serious businesses
The table where commercial intelligence and inner wisdom are discussed at the same table.
CONNECT is an invitation-only circle for women carrying the responsibility of owning and leading established businesses.
Eight to twelve women meet around one table each month to think more clearly, speak more honestly and build businesses that work harder for themselves as the business owner.
Because the business matters.
And so does the woman running it.
- Gail Biddulph
If You're The Smartest Person At Lunch...
… you’re at the wrong lunch.
CONNECT brings together women with sharp minds, substantial experience and real value to contribute to one another's success.
Each member brings something different to the Table: commercial knowledge, perspective, contacts, hard-won wisdom and an understanding of what it really means to carry responsibility for a business, its people and its future.
The value comes not from meeting as many people as possible, but from being in the right room with the right women, repeatedly.
Why The Connect Table Exists
You've built a business. You've made money, but you know something is missing to get to the next level before sale.
CONNECT exists to put the right people together in a private dining room and let the magic happen.
We invite the right mix of people - people with shared values, bright minds and warm hearts - women who are making an impact, leaving a legacy
and being shining examples of a life well-lived.
Together, we’re not only growing businesses but also cultivating resilience and hope in a world facing profound systemic challenges.
These lunches are purposefully discreet, give you personal power and high value experience on an invitation basis.
Most business groups focus on growth, performance, leadership and profit while ignoring the condition, instincts and aspirations of the owner.
Other communities create space for purpose, wellbeing and intuition, but lack commercial depth. CONNECT was created because women business owners who don't want to choose.
Here, we discuss:
- Growth, profitability and business value
- Leadership, people and difficult decisions
- Wealth, succession, sale and legacy
- Energy, confidence and personal capacity
- Purpose, satisfaction and what success is meant to provide
- The things an owner already knows inwardly but has not yet acted upon
CONNECT is the only business table where commercial reality and inner wisdom are deliberately given equal weight.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
Gail is hands down the best host and super connector I have ever met. She just knows the right mix of people. And finally, I've found a lunch I can be myself with other high performing business women who just get it! The one lunch I won't ever miss - it's that good!

Going to lunch as a female founder when you don't know anyone can be daunting, but I'm so glad I did. Gail thought of the details so I was totally at ease. It was everything I hoped for and more.
