Meet the woman behind theCBRwoman
Hi, I’m Gabrielle (she/her) – Founder of theCBRwoman, business woman for over 10 years, breast cancer fighter, mental health advocate and lover of all things women, champagne, cheese, sport, rap music and dancing.
Like you, I’m a woman who dreams big. My purpose in life is about elevating and supporting women in whatever ways I can.
So, building a community to elevate women in Canberra was a no-brainer.
theCBRwoman began as a place specifically for women in business…
…yet it’s naturally grown and evolved to include women who aren’t in business, but who want to connect with other like-minded women and form meaningful connections, locally.
In fact the resounding #1 shared hope from our incredible members is just that…
…to create connections with other like-minded women, be inspired, feel empowered, and have an opportunity to empower others.
Whether that’s through a supportive phone call, catching up over a coffee or lunch to help you get unstuck or find direction and accountability, or through co-creating our community events and workshops, it’s the sharing of experiences and learning together that fuels my passion!
Hear from our members
We need this connection and community more than ever, in our personal lives, small businesses and collectively. The BOSS Club supports and uplifts other small businesses and provides the opportunity to meet new and inspiring women along the way.
I joined the BOSS club because I love it’s purpose and vision for women led businesses. As proud as I am of my business, sometimes trying to do it all can be relentless. Being able to reach into a community that understands, is supportive and filled with knowledge is something that’s priceless in getting us through the tough times and pushing us forward to achieving our goals.
