  Ready to Step Up in 2026?

  A Complimentary Introductory Session for
  Emerging Female Leaders

  You don’t need to have it all mapped out to know that you're ready for more. More influence, more confidence, and more clarity about what’s next.

  If 2026 is your year to step into leadership - whether for the first time or more fully - this 'Come & Try' session is designed for you.

  At behind closed doors, we support women as they grow into leadership with intention, perspective and the right network around them. This no-obligation introductory session is a chance to pause, reflect, and explore what’s possible when you stop doing it alone.

  What you’ll experience:

  • A 30-minute conversation with BCD Founder & Managing Director, Donny Walford, sharing practical insights on building career relationships and navigating leadership with confidence.

  • An open, honest and supportive facilitated group discussion to unpack the challenges, opportunities and questions you’re grappling with right now.

  • A first-hand feel for our behind closed doors community, and the power of being in a room with other women who are stepping forward too.

  We'd love to welcome you, so you can experience this window into what becomes possible when you’re supported, challenged and encouraged to back yourself.

  When Leadership Gets Complex,
  Who Do You Turn To?

  An Exclusive Introductory Session for
  Senior Female Leaders

  At senior levels, leadership changes. Your decisions carry more weight, the room gets quieter, and the space to think out loud - honestly, confidentially, and without performance - gets smaller.

  That’s the gap behind closed doors exists to fill.

  We’re inviting a small group of senior female leaders to a complimentary 90-minute introductory session designed to offer something deeper than traditional networking or surface-level mentoring. This is about trusted connection, thoughtful conversation, and access to women who understand the pressure you’re under, because they’re carrying it too.

  Many of our Members tell us, “It wasn’t what I expected. It was better.” More grounded. More useful. More human.

  What this session includes:

  • A focused conversation with Donny Walford, Founder & Managing Director of behind closed doors, exploring how senior leaders create space for clearer thinking amid demanding roles

  • A facilitated discussion with peers navigating complex decisions, high expectations, and full lives

  • A first-hand experience of a community built on confidentiality, trust, and practical support, where relationships go beyond exchanging business cards.

  BCD is not about adding another commitment to your calendar.
  It’s about discovering a sounding board you can rely on - and a network that quietly has your back.
