Stop shrinking. Start shining.
The Tall Poppy Toolkit is a confidence-boosting, clarity-building workshop co-hosted by digital powerhouses Robyn Foyster and Elise Strachan, designed to help women and allies craft a standout personal brand – with the support of LinkedIn strategy, smart AI tools, and a fierce new sense of self-belief.
Together, we’ll work through live, interactive mini-lessons to help you:
