SHINE & RISE LONDON 2026
EVENT DETAILS
For women ready to clear subconscious blocks and attract premium clients in 2026.
2026 requires a different level of visibility, strategy and self-leadership — and you can feel it.
Your content isn’t landing like it used to.
Premium clients are circling but not converting.
You’re showing up, doing the work — but something still isn’t translating.
The truth?
It’s not that you’re missing motivation.
You’re missing the clarity and calibration this next level actually demands.
Shine & Rise London is a one-day event designed to:
→ Release the subconscious patterns capping your growth
→ Teach what’s actually working in marketing for 2026
→ Elevate your presence so premium clients say yes
Clean strategy. Deep identity work. No fluff.
Just the clarity, standards, and leadership your next level requires.
The best part? You are learning from industry leaders not just your peers
This isn’t inspiration.
It’s your roadmap for your strongest year in business.
ALL FEMALE FOUNDERS WELCOME — NOT JUST ASIAN WOMEN

Who This Is For
You’re caught between where you are and the vision you know is possible for you.
You crave clarity, confidence and momentum… but you can also feel the fears, visibility blocks and subconscious patterns that hold you back from showing up the way you’re meant to.
If this sounds like you, you’re in the right room.
This event is for the woman who isn’t stuck — but knows she’s capped.
You’ve done the mindset work.
You’ve refined your offers.
You’ve led your business through growth seasons — and yet, you can feel it:
The way you’ve been marketing, showing up and attracting clients no longer fits the leader you’re becoming.
You’re not here for another motivational workshop.
You’re here to:
- Release the real patterns still shaping your visibility and leadership
- Learn what’s working in 2026 — without recycled strategies
- Calibrate your message to attract premium clients without the push
- Step into a room of high-agency women and feel the difference
You’re not looking for peers to process with.
You’re looking for leaders who’ve done the work — and are ready to go deeper.
This is your room if:
→ You’re done playing slightly smaller just to feel safe
→ You’re tired of being the best-kept secret in your space
→ You’re ready to be positioned, seen, and respected at the level you actually operate
This isn’t about hype.
It’s about the identity shift that makes premium results inevitable.
What You'll Walk Away With
Subconscious release work that actually shifts your strategy
- Visibility fear, overthinking, energetic leaks = gone
- Confidence becomes a default, not a performance
A premium ecosystem that supports real growth
- Clear visibility pathways
- A strategy rooted in identity and relevance
- A plan that stretches your leadership, not just your to-do list
High-calibre networking that accelerates your next level
Connect with ambitious, self-led women who think big, invest in themselves and take action. You’ll build relationships that open doors — collaborations, referrals, opportunities and visibility — all from being in a room where growth is the standard, not the exception.
Your next level — in motion
This isn’t about hype.
It’s about a clean strategy, deeper self-leadership and messaging that finally reflects the business you’ve built.
Six core shifts.
One day of strategy, clarity and premium calibration.
Messaging that attracts premium clients — clearly and cleanly
- Learn to position your brand with authority
- Build trust before they land in your inbox
- Stop over-explaining and start converting
Marketing that works in 2026 — not 2021
- What platforms are rewarding now
- What premium buyers respond to
- How to grow strategically without burning out
I’m Sharn Khaira — an ICF and AAAP certified business and mindset coach with over a decade of experience in both offline and online marketing. Business and mindset coaching isn’t my first rodeo — before this, I built a highly successful luxury Asian wedding planning and events company from the ground up.
But my journey started far from glamorous. I was born and raised on the roughest street in my hometown, surrounded by drugs and prostitution. By all expectations, I was destined to stay small, stuck, and poor. For over a decade, I lived in my overdraft, believing that was all life had for me.
And yet, everything changed when I rewired my mindset. I went from survival mode to generating over £1 million in online sales — as an Asian woman, as a woman of colour — something that was completely unheard of in my community.
My work has since been featured on the BBC Breakfast Show, Huffington Post, Grazia, Metro, and many more global platforms.
I am here to break the mould — and I want the same for you. Shine & Rise London 2026 is your invitation to do just that.

And because your health is the environment for your next level, the health and wellness panel
We’ll explore the real conversations ambitious women rarely get to have — with leaders who understand what it means to scale under pressure, raise a family, and show up in public when you feel like shutting down.
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about being resourced enough to do what actually matters.
Expect practical insights on:
→ Balancing motherhood, business and wellbeing
→ Thriving physically and mentally in your 30s and 40s
→ Managing stress, energy and long-term health
→ Navigating comparison without losing momentum or self-belief
This is for entrepreneurs who want sustainable success, clarity and confidence — not just growth at any cost.

Why This Event Is Different
You’re not learning from “pretty influencers” who talk a good game but don’t actually run real businesses.
You’re learning from female founders who walk their talk, women who have built brands from the ground up and are leading their industries in real time.
And here’s the difference that matters:
You’re learning from leaders — not your peers.
This room gives you access to women who are several steps ahead, who’ve done the work, built the systems, refined the strategy and lived the mindset shifts you’re trying to master.
We don’t believe in hype.
We believe in substance, strategy and sustainable success.
High-Calibre Networking That Expands Your 2026 Opportunities
This isn’t random networking.
It’s strategic proximity to women who invest in themselves, value growth, and take action.
→ Be surrounded by founders, creatives and consultants who think big
→ Build relationships with women who open doors, not drain energy
→ Collaborate, connect and create opportunities beyond the event
→ Feel held in a room where ambition is normal — and expansion is expected
The relationships formed in this room genuinely elevate your visibility, confidence and business.
