Whether it’s an essay for school, a dissertation for college, or a project at work, being able to hit your deadlines is an important ability.
So why are some of us bad at it, and how can we fix that?

13nov13:0014:00The Rebellious Business Networking Event | Rebellious Business
13/11/2025 13:00 - 14:00(GMT+00:00)
No beige small talk. No boring intros. No salesy nonsense. Just real people, genuine conversation, and business magic waiting to happen. What’s This
This isn’t your average “so what do you do?” Zoom snooze-fest.
This is The Rebellious Business Networking Event — the one that refuses to play by the boring corporate rules.
We’ve ditched the stiff intros, awkward icebreakers, and those weird, staged elevator pitches that make everyone’s soul leave their body.
Instead, you’ll get one hour of genuine connection, plenty of laughs (and probably a few spit-out-your-tea moments), and a room full of humans who actually get it.
Zero Corporate SH★T – Be yourself. That’s literally the point. No pretending. No LinkedIn voices.
Connection-First Games – Fun breakout challenges that help you meet people naturally (and remember their names afterwards).
Real Conversations – None of that “so… what do you do?” small talk. You’ll actually talk about stuff that matters.
Collaboration Energy – Meet your next client, partner, or business bestie without it feeling forced.
Surprise Rebel Moments – You might win something. You might laugh-snort on camera. Either way, you’ll leave buzzing.
You, if you’re a coach, consultant, creative, service provider — or just a business rebel who’s over the fake, buttoned-up networking scene.
We’re talking about people who’d rather connect than pitch. People who build businesses with personality.
If that sounds like you, welcome home.
We’re Cordelia & Caroline, your rebellious ring-leaders.
We met at a networking event (yep, the irony’s not lost on us), became business besties, and built Rebellious Business, a company for entrepreneurs who are bored of the beige.
We’ve hosted thousands of rebels, helped countless people find clients, collaborators, and even business “love stories”… all through connection that actually feels human.
This isn’t just a networking event. It’s a movement for people who want to build businesses their way, real, rebellious, and full of personality.
Come hang out, meet your people, and see why rebels never network alone.

Welcome to Masculinity in the Workplace, designed specifically to engage men with creating inclusive cultures. Marking International Men’s Day, the objective of our event is to give men both the reason and the skills to lean into the conversation, while also providing women and non-binary people with the confidence to engage more men in culture change. Because ultimately we can only make real change by working together.
Date: Weds Nov 19 2025
Time: 12.30pm to 6pm
Location: Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL
Our speakers will share their insights and experiences, shedding light on the evolving dynamics of masculinity, leadership and culturein diverse work environments. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, participate in interactive sessions, and network with like-minded professionals.
The theme for this year is ‘Supporting Boys to Men to Role Models’. This year’s event will seek to understand the concerns and barriers that are in the way for boys and men, particularly looking at key inflection points in their lives. It will equip parents, leaders, friends and persons of significance in the lives of young men with the tools for self-reflection, effective role modelling and courageous conversations..
It will suggest that status-seeking and risk-taking behaviours are innate as boys become men, look at how this shows up for boys in 2025 and question what support could help these boys have a more positive initiation in to adulthood so that they are ready for the workplace. We know that there is a reverse gender pay gap and that schools aren’t preparing students in the same way to enter the professional workplace – what needs to be done?
We will look at the behaviours that are role modelled by men once they are in the workplace. Is it healthy for us to look for male role models, or is a search for positive behaviours more effective? What can we learn from how men are represented on screen and in the media? And what can we do to support our men once they are in the workplace?
This site is for the in-person experience. Otherwise you can register for the online version here.
FYI – lunch will not be provided
This event is for anyone passionate about creating more inclusive, equitable, diverse and human workplaces, and we welcome attendees of all identities and expressions.
Historically, our audience has included around 60% men and 40% women or non-binary people, with a wide range of roles and lived experiences.
This year, we’re especially keen to welcome CEOs, HRDs, CMOs, Inclusion & Diversity leaders, People & Culture teams, and anyone working to engage men more effectively in their organisations. Whether you’re a parent, people manager, or someone invested in systemic culture change, this event is for you.
By attending, you’ll be joining a growing community of people committed to reshaping masculinity, unlocking allyship, and building workplace cultures where everyone can thrive – from boys and young men to senior leaders and everyone in between.
