Choose Freedom. Change the World

Aspire exists for women who care deeply about what happens next.

The future of equality. The future of health. The future of education. The future of business. The future of technology. The future of our communities and our planet.

We believe the world's biggest challenges will not be solved by governments, institutions and experts alone. They will be solved by people who care enough to step forward, speak up, challenge assumptions and help create something better.

If that sounds like you, welcome.

Pioneering the Future - A Leadership Retreat for Life, Work and World Change

This is a professional and personal development retreat for women who are ready to create a new chapter, launch something extraordinary or lead bold change in the systems shaping their lives, careers, organisations and the world.

An opportunity to bring your most ambitious dreams, pioneering ideas and innovative actions into focus. This might mean reinventing your health, life, career or business, transforming corporate culture, technology, education, poverty, health, climate solutions or something else, equally important to you.

Choose Freedom

We believe the world can be better than it is today and that women have a vital role to play in creating that future.

Choose Freedom is creating a global movement of women who care deeply about the future of our world and want to make a meaningful contribution. They come from every country, culture, profession and generation, but they share a common belief: that their lives are about more than personal success.

Health matters. Confidence matters. Success matters. But many women are looking for something more. They look at inequality, poverty, conflict, environmental challenges, the wellbeing of future generations and the state of leadership in our world and wonder what they can do to help. They want their lives to count for something bigger than themselves. Choose Freedom exists for women who want to become free enough to make their fullest contribution to the world.

Live and online events that ignite, support and celebrate personal, organisational and social change. Our events bring women together to change their own lives and the world around them.

The Dr Sam Collins Podcast

For women who believe the world can be better than it is today.

Ideas | Conversations | Courage

Exploring freedom, leadership and what it means to make your unique contribution to the future of our world.

At the same time, many women are asking bigger questions.

  • How do we create a better future?
  • How do we use our gifts and talents fully?
  • How do we find the courage to speak up for what matters?How do we create positive change in our lives, communities, organisations and the wider world without sacrificing our health, wellbeing or sense of self?

These are the conversations explored on The Dr Sam Collins Podcast.

Books by Dr Sam Collins

Stories of courage, freedom and women who refuse to accept that the world has to stay the way it is.

Dr Sam Collins is the founder of Aspire, an international speaker, author and pioneer of change leadership. For more than 25 years she has worked with women across industries, generations and countries, helping them navigate change, challenge limitations and create meaningful impact.

Her books explore resilience, possibility, courage and the choices women make when they decide to stop living by expectation and start living by choice. Through personal stories, powerful conversations and practical insights, they invite readers to see new possibilities for themselves and for the future they want to help create.

Over more than two decades of Aspire conferences, leadership events, interviews, coaching conversations and podcasts, Dr Sam Collins has had the privilege of meeting remarkable women from around the world.

Her books bring together some of their stories. These women come from different backgrounds, industries and experiences, yet they share something important. Each chose to challenge expectations, question accepted wisdom and take action when others expected them to stay quiet, fit in or settle for less. Some changed organisations. Some transformed communities. Some reinvented their own lives. All demonstrated what becomes possible when women trust themselves and step forward with courage.

Rebellious is an invitation to trust your own voice, challenge assumptions and remember that meaningful change often starts with one woman deciding she is no longer willing to live by somebody else's rules.

Complimentary Access Places for Events

Over the years, some of the women who have made the greatest impact at Aspire events have come through our access places. Their experiences, ideas, questions and perspectives have challenged assumptions, sparked new thinking and helped create exactly the kind of diverse, thought provoking and inspiring rooms we want to build. 

That is why we make several complimentary places available at every event. These places are not based on qualifications, job titles or achievement. They exist because we believe the strongest conversations happen when people from different walks of life come together around ideas that matter.
