The Shire Collective

The Incubator Lab

Coaching Programmes

Where ideas grow into thriving businesses.

The Incubator Lab is a business growth hub created specifically for female founders, entrepreneurs and business owners. Built in partnership by Katie (The Shire Collective) and Leanne (Good Life Hub & Happy Larder), it combines coaching, practical guidance and collaborative learning to help women turn ideas into action.

The Lab Journey

Three focused programmes, designed to meet you where you are:

Launch Lab – 1-day workshop, held quarterly

For women at the start of their journey. We help you turn your idea into clear, confident first
steps.

Growth Lab – 3-month container, running throughout the year

For business owners ready to build momentum — strengthen your visibility, refine your
strategy and start getting results.

Scale Lab – 10-month container, starting every January

For founders ready to expand their impact, grow their income and build sustainably for the
long term.

Introducing the Female Founders Club

A community for women building ideas, businesses and meaningful change.

Launched in early 2026, the Female Founders Club is a monthly membership created by
Katie and Leanne — born from years of supporting women through community, coaching
and events.

It’s a space for women who are passionate about creating impact: through their business,
their leadership, or an idea they want to bring into the world.

What Membership Includes

Each month, members are invited to:

In-Person Founders Gathering
A relaxed social where members connect, share ideas and build genuine relationships.

Online Lunch & Learn
An expert-led session with an industry specialist — practical insight and inspiration from
women making an impact.

Online Women’s Circle
A guided circle for reflection, connection and shared wisdom.

Who is it for?

The Female Founders Club welcomes a wide range of women, including:

• Business owners and entrepreneurs
• Leaders within organisations
• Women developing new products, services or initiatives
• Women creating meaningful change in their workplace or community

If you’re curious, ambitious and passionate about making a difference — you’ll fit right in.
