The Intentional Growth Series.

An invitation-only evening with Lesley Sackey.

Strength. Voice. Reclaiming Power.

Join a small, carefully curated group for an intimate conversation with one of the UK’s most powerful voices in resilience, recovery, and reclaiming identity after adversity.

✨ Conversation, not a conference
✨ Community, not networking
✨ Growth that creates real-world impact

Plus: 50% of every ticket funds a place on the next Fight Back programme — helping a woman rebuild her life after abuse.

Intimate Conversation: Strength, Voice & Intentional Growth

In this session, we’ll explore what it means to reclaim strength — physically, emotionally, and psychologically — and how intentional growth can emerge from life’s hardest chapters.

Expect:

  • Honest storytelling

  • Real-world lessons on resilience and recovery

  • Reflections on identity, voice, and personal power

  • Space for thoughtful discussion and connection

This will be a guided, intimate conversation — not a keynote or lecture.

40 of us together = 1 life-changing place funded

Introducing Lesley

Lesley Sackey is a leader in women’s boxing and a visionary tech founder, building safe spaces that support survivors of domestic abuse to rebuild and thrive.

She is the founder of Fight Forward, a social impact organisation on a mission to help women reclaim their strength and voice after abuse.

A trailblazer in sport, Lesley became the first British woman to win gold at the EU Championships (2008) on her first entry, representing England and Great Britain on international stages.

Motivated by her own journey out of abuse, she created The Fight Back programme, which has been featured on Channel 4, Sky Sports and the BBC.

Her ambition is bold and urgent:
👉 To help 100,000 women fight forward out of abuse

“We are using what is typically considered a violent sport to heal women who have experienced violence. The program helps women reclaim consent over their bodies and voices, reconnect with themselves, find community, and process trauma through movement.”

Lesley’s influence extends beyond sport. She has:

  • Co-produced a BBC Sport documentary on female boxers in Ghana

  • Featured on Channel 4’s How To Get Fit Fast

  • Competed on BBC Three’s Last Woman Standing

  • Delivered talks for FTSE 100 companies including Barclays, Standard Chartered and Facebook

Why This Event Is Extra Special

50% of every ticket will go towards funding a place on the next Fight Back programme.

This means: if 40 of us come together, we empower one woman to access this life-changing programme.

This is community in action.
This is intentional growth that extends beyond ourselves.

Secure your place.

Spaces are intentionally limited to protect the intimacy of the conversation.
