Rise & Shine: When you know what you want and need, everything changes.

Rise & Shine: Kick-Arse Meetup for Wellington's Women in Business powered by Wellington Beds and BNZ.

Join us on Wednesday, 19th November, 2025, at 6.00pm for an exciting in-person event exclusively designed for Wellington Women in Business.

Step into the dynamic and driven world of 'Rise and Shine', where the spirit of Wellington’s businesswomen comes alive with energy and enterprise.

Hosted by Patrice Green and powered by Wellington Beds, this series is dedicated to making waves and breaking barriers in the business world.

We’re honoured to connect you with Lisa O'Neill at the beautiful BNZ Wellington Partners Offices at Level 1, 1 Whitmore Street, Wellington. The entrance is on the corner of Featherston and Ballance Street.

When you know what you want and need, everything changes.

Join Patrice as she hosts Lisa O’Neill this November to take the chaos out of 2026 and design a year that feels as good as it looks.

Lisa O’Neill is an energy expert and motivator who is addicted to planning!

In a session especially designed for November, let's take the chaos out of 2026 before it even arrives.

You’ll learn how to build your bridge of action, plan purposefully, and stop wasting precious energy on things that don't matter.

Running her own brand and business for over 25 years, Lisa’s secret is creating certainty in a world that constantly demands your attention.

When you know what you want and what you need you free up mental space to live your life instead of just reacting to it.

Get proactive around your energy management. Understanding what depletes you and what recharges you isn't fluffy thinking - it's essential infrastructure for a brilliant year.

Walk away with practical tools to plan your year, protect your energy, and step into 2026 with absolute clarity about your priorities. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters, with the energy you need to do it well.
