Limited seats. Intimate room. High-caliber conversations.
What women in beauty are navigating right now:
- Burnout masked as ambition
- High visibility with low psychological safety
- Titles without fulfillment
- Constant performance, little space to exhale
- Being the only woman in the room â again
- Career success without clarity
- Confidence questioned at the executive level
- Isolation at the top
- Quiet imposter syndrome, loud expectations
This event exists because none of this is talked about and all of it needs to be.
Beauty Career Lab LIVE is where confidence, career, and connection are built.
BUILD CONFIDENCE
Built through proximity, truth, and lived experience.
- Real women who power the beauty industry on stage telling the truth about what it actually takes to succeed
- Honest conversations about leadership, visibility, pressure, and self-trust
- Confidence built from clarity, not performance
- Tools that ground you internally so you stop second-guessing and start leading
ADVANCE YOUR CAREER
Developed with insight you wonât find online.
- Recruiters in the room answering your questions live
- Emerging leaders sharing whatâs next in beauty â before itâs mainstream
- Founders openly sharing their paths, pivots, and decisions
- Proprietary career-development frameworks you wonât see outside this room
- Strategic perspective that helps you make smarter, faster career moves
CREATE CONNECTION
Reimagined, intentional, and actually useful.
- Networking designed for depth - not small talk
- Conversations that extend beyond the stage
- Access without awkwardness
- Proximity that leads to real relationships, not follow-ups that go nowhere
- A room curated for alignment, not volume
 This isnât about collecting business cards.
Itâs about building confidence, career momentum, and meaningful connection in one powerful day.
This is where proximity becomes power.
Not networking.
Not watching from the audience.
Real access to the women behind the brands in the room, in conversation, in proximity.
Because careers donât move forward from consuming content - they move forward from being seen, known, and remembered by the right people.
