The praise speaks for itself
More than 150 New Zealand women business owners have walked into a re:ampd room and left with clarity, connection and real momentum. Here is what they say, in their own words.
Real words from real members
The best end-of-year event I've been to
I had such a fun night at Bags & Bubbles. Honestly it's the best Christmas party or end-of-year celebration I've attended. The room was full of friendly, approachable people who were open to genuine conversations.
The first networking event I wanted to stay at
I was expecting a conventional networking event. So glad I showed up. Everyone I met went deep pretty quickly. There wasn't as much of that horrendous small talk we introverts hate so much at networking events. It's the first networking event in a long time where I've wanted to stick around.
A newbie who felt like an old-timer
Bags & Bubbles had the warmest energy from the moment I walked in. Marisa made me feel instantly welcome, and that set the tone for everything that followed. Even as a newbie, I genuinely felt like an old-time member. Marisa has this rare gift of making every person feel like the only one in the room.
No longer lonely in business
Marisa is incredibly inspiring! Being a business owner can feel lonely at times when you're used to a big corporate, so I'm so grateful for such a supportive community.
The best event I've been to in a long time
Best one I've been to in a long time! Marisa Fong is a rock star. Great location, yummy food, flowing drinks, pretty dresses and stunning women.
It delivered on every level
re:ampd's mission is to equip female founders with the tools to truly understand the business of business, and the day delivered on every level. A highlight of the day were the workshops on refining our elevator pitches. Super powerful. And so much food for thought.
Still grinning afterwards
Still grinning from a sparkling afternoon celebrating the end of year at the re:ampd party, listening to Roanne Jacobson share her incredible story with SABEN alongside amazing like-minded female founders. Thanks to Marisa Fong for her brilliance and energy.
Founders' stories, done properly
What a fabulous afternoon. Love hearing stories from founders. Very well organised. Venue, food, drinks all great. A fabulous team.
Great from start to finish
This event was great from start to finish. A room full of positive, generous, down-to-earth women ready to connect and support one another. Not to mention an interesting speaker, and a great exercise to develop our elevator pitches. I left feeling energised and inspired!
The impact on my business is unreal
I've only known Marisa Fong for a few short months, but the impact she has had on my perspective and my business is unreal. If you're lucky enough to have worked with Marisa, you'll know what I mean.
The perfect host
Thank you Marisa for a beautiful and well thought out event. You were the perfect host, delightfully entertaining, and you clearly have a beautiful, kind and generous heart. Thank you again.
Every session is worthwhile
Marisa always makes every session worthwhile and makes everyone feel so special.
She speaks straight from the heart
Marisa is very inspiring, she talks from the heart which I feel is really important for women in business. It is just lovely being around Marisa and hearing her wisdom.
Clarity, confidence and direction
One of the most life-shaping experiences I had was my 1:1 coaching with Marisa Fong. I met Marisa at a time where I felt full of ambition and drive but had lost some direction. What I ended up with was a sense of clarity, confidence, greater self-awareness and my energy channelled in the right direction. I could not recommend this more.
I LOVE your newsletters
Just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that I LOVE your newsletters. There's always some 'gold nuggets' in there which I super appreciate. And I always copy and paste the AI question, love how it challenges me!
An exciting community to be part of
You have created such an exciting community to be a part of. Thank you.
Made the cost of the course back in a week
Since attending re:ampd my business has transformed! I made the cost of the course back a week later in changing my pricing and service model.
Deliver value, earn value
Being part of the re:ampd community connects us beyond the social sector and reminds us that delivering value will equate to earning value. Thanks Marisa and team for another beautiful event, and to my table-mates for the honest, vulnerable shares. Your softness and warmth stayed with me.
Tools I still use every day
Marisa unlocked my ability to see my own inner superpowers and uncover my values and passions, all while providing life-changing tools I still use every day.
So much more than a networking group
re:ampd is so much more than just a networking group. It's an incredibly valuable business mentoring platform and community for business owners who want to grow, connect, and genuinely support one another.
A rare diamond
She is the epitome of a successful female founder. She lifts you up and provides a safe, fun, warm, collaborative space for women to share and shine. A rare diamond.
So worth the flight and the nerves
Last night I stood in a room full of strangers. I'd just flown in. Childcare arranged. Nerves jangling. Then I was pulled into conversation by some of the most dynamic, down to earth, driven women I've met in ages. Massive thanks to Marisa Fong and the re:ampd team for such a grounding, energising night. Turns out, sometimes the things that take the most effort to show up for are the exact things we need most.
