My biggest takeaway from the Role Model Summit was how much confidence it brought my son within one day.

Changes I noticed after the summit was definitely my mood uplifted, my purpose was so clear, I watched how I was responding, myself in conversations even on a daily and now I feel happy and heard.

I am and would 1000% recommend the summit and already are doing so!!

I did not realise my own strength, and how powerful my voice could be to empower, uplift, inspire and encourage others to make a change.

I now want to help others to remember that you have a voice to be heard and to be proud of who you are and smile at the world.

I'm sure making this mission the world will smile alongside as I want to always be remembered for the one that stood and had the confidence and strength to be heard.

My biggest take away from the Role Model Summit was that anyone can be a role model.

I really was encouraged by all the amazing speakers sharing their life experiences. This taught me that if you believe in yourself and make the choice to be a role model you can make a change in your life and others too.

I am going to be more kind to myself and give more compliments. After the exercise about writing something about ourselfves I noticed I have been to negative to myself.

Our biggest takeaway was how inspiring it was to be surrounded by so many talented young people. It was amazing to see everyone come together as one and support each other.

We felt even more inspired, and being around passionate, like-minded individuals reminded us why supporting the next generation through our work too is so important.

Yes, definitely. It’s an amazing initiative that brings people together, helps young talent connect, and inspires everyone to support.

My biggest takeaway was the power of true leadership and impact come from owning your story and showing up as your real self. Being surrounded by inspiring, purpose-driven people was grounding and motivating.

I left with renewed clarity and confidence, more aligned with my purpose and intentional about how I show up personally and professionally.

The Role Model Summit is more than an event; it's an experience that inspires growth, connection, and self-belief for anyone ready to step into their potential.

I took away the lesson to never judge a book by its cover. There were incredible people in the room. Some of the keynotes were flawless and some were not, and this made it feel very real and super authentic.

Age is just a number, as there were teens and parents, and we all mixed together really well. The Role Model Summit captivated me. As a parent, we are role models for our children, but I also think our children can be role models for us as well. I would recommend it to anyone.

I wasn't sure how Sophie would be at the role model summit and honestly didn't know whether she'd feel able to take part in the activities.

But your event was truly amazing. This is a photo of Sophie at the end of the day - looking at herself with confidence, pride, and a sense of belief that wasn't there before.

My biggest takeaway from the Role Model Summit was the new friendships I made and the knowledge I gained.

I definitely had a new spring in my step the next day, even cleaning felt good! Normally, it takes me ages to get motivated.

Yes, I would absolutely recommend it to others. It’s an event filled with so much insight and knowledge about being a good role model, not just for others but for yourself too.
