What we are about...

We are a network of education groups that support business women by teaching the art of how to pitch and promote their business.

There are many great networking organisations that exist and we aim to offer the marketplace an education group that has a specific networking education and business pitching focus for women. All attendees have the opportunity to promote themselves, learn, grow, connect with other women in the network.

We have established small chapters with a limit of 30 members per chapter to allow for the focus to remain on the individuals' development needs. Primarily, the chapter coordinator leads each meeting with a networking or pitching education module. In addition, one to three members each meeting have the opportunity to do a presentation to showcase their business and receive feedback, ideas and assistance from fellow members.

We see that accelerate women can run in conjunction with the many great networking groups that already exist, in fact, we belong to many of them. Please see a list of the ones we are, or have been, involved with and recommend.

Our values

Our primary value for the accelerate women is simple: family, fun and bright future for all. We value:

Integrity - We continually aim to be consistent with our word, any promises or agreements made and being truthful with our members and guests.

Quality - We guarantee the quality of the meetings that we offer according to the agreed outcomes with each of our members. We are continually striving to offer exceptional service and build long-term relationships with our members.

Innovation - We will always look first for a unique and innovative approach to a member’s needs, as each and every business woman is different and has something different and unique to offer. Therefore, we believe the solution also needs to be innovative and unique.

Contribution - We believe that by providing a framework for our members we offer the opportunity to facilitate the realisation of dreams and goals. It is our intention to provide the framework for the growth and development of an improved society where all individuals are engaged in living the lifestyles they desire.

Who runs accelerate women?

Accelerate women was founded by Sue Henry & Celine Egan. With an incredible skill set between them, Celine and Sue make a great team: funny, inspiring, practical, and down-to-earth. With their no-fluff approach, Celine and Sue tell it like it is, their information is practical, tested and effective. Their business philosophies and approaches are simple and based on the three things they value the most: family, fun and a bright future for all.

The accelerate women concept arose after a series of seminars based on the principles from their book Accelerate: How to accelerate your business, Your Networking Skills and YOURSELF.

The primary philosophy behind accelerate women is to create a framework and environment in which women in business can learn, grow, connect, develop, and have fun while they are doing it.
