Women in business blog
Welcome to the Verv Works blog, where you’ll find honest conversations, insights and stories for women doing business differently.
This space was created for women who are tired of feeling like success has to mean constant growth, bigger teams, more pressure and trying to keep up with everyone else online. Because while there’s nothing wrong with growth, a lot of women are quietly realising they want their business to support their life, not completely take it over.
Here you’ll find conversations around business mentoring for women, defining success on your own terms, sustainable business growth, confidence, self doubt, emotional resilience and the realities of running a business as a woman in today’s world.
Some articles are strategic. Some are personal. Some will probably feel a little too relatable, particularly if you’ve ever sat at your laptop questioning what you’re even doing while simultaneously replying to emails and reheating the same cup of coffee for the third time.
