Show Notes: Mic Drop Moments Podcast | Woman Who Solopreneur Awards 2026 Special

What happens when you bring a room full of ambitious, inspiring women in business together?

Conversations happen. Connections are made. Opportunities are created. And sometimes, those opportunities don't reveal themselves until long after you've left the room.

In this special episode of Mic Drop Moments, Sandra Garlick MBE reflects on the final Woman Who Solopreneur Awards in its current format, held on 9 October 2026 at the National Conference Centre near Birmingham.

Celebrating ten years of Woman Who, Sandra shares why being in the room matters more than ever, the importance of showing up even when you're feeling uncertain, and how a single conversation can open doors you never expected.

Throughout the episode, you'll hear interviews with finalists, winners, attendees and supporters, all recorded live at the Awards by Kathryn Hall, Let's Get Visible ACCELERATE Academy member and Podcast Host for the day.

Kathryn stepped into an opportunity to interview attendees, demonstrating exactly what Woman Who is all about: creating opportunities for others to build their confidence, develop their skills and step into the spotlight.

In this episode, discover:

• Why being in the right room can be more valuable than another social media post.
• How showing up creates confidence, connections and unexpected opportunities.
• Why the real value of networking often happens after the event.
• The importance of celebrating other people's achievements as well as your own.
• Why meaningful relationships should be part of your business growth strategy.
• Sandra's reflections on ten years of Woman Who and what's next.

As Sandra reminds us:

"Don't just go there to be seen. Go there to become known."

Whether you're a seasoned networker or someone who finds walking into a room full of strangers daunting, this episode will inspire you to think differently about the invitations, conversations and opportunities that come your way.

Because being in the room is only the beginning. What you do afterwards is what really matters.
