Never Have I Ever - Freelancer Edition for Freelancers Business Month
Join us, a panel of freelancers and consultants from different industries as we play ‘Never Have I Ever’ (alcohol-free) with the messy truths of self-employment.
From ‘Never have I ever cried over an unpaid invoice’ to ‘Never have I ever felt like a complete fraud’ – we’ll take some of the common (and not-so-common) questions and assumptions and provide you with real examples of how we handled these situations.
We'll talk about things like:
You don't have to have all the answers - why 'winging it' is often part of the process - not a sign you’re failing
Practical survival tactics – honest examples of how we've handled pricing nightmares, difficult clients, and cash flow panic
There is no ‘freelance formula’ - there is no 'right' way to freelance with actionable advice for next steps
You'll be joined by:
Louise Gregson-Williams – Left her secure civil service job overnight (no side-hustle) to launch LEAP Thirtytwo, helping B2B businesses go from nowhere to noticed. Three years in and still learning.
Rosie Hawkins – Director of RedHawk Events, designing events that create lasting impact. With 18+ years of freelance ups, downs, and everything in between.
Keir Whitaker – Marketing and business strategist juggling multiple hats, supporting soloists and Shopify partners while running Craft+Work. Proof that freelancing rarely looks like the textbook.

Ideal for new or early-stage freelancers and consultants, this isn't another ‘how I made 6 figures’ story... These are real examples, with reassurance that no two journeys in business are ever the same.
Beyond ordinary events
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
