  • 09:20 – 09:50: How to turn your passion into a full-time job. Lauren Dallas, Founder of Future Females, will talk about the first 90 days – what it takes to make an idea a reality, as well as the joy of failure.





  • 09:50 – 10:20: Slay the funding pitch. Lelemba Phiri, Chief Marketing Officer for Zoona, will provide tips on mastering your business plan, identifying the right funders, major dos and don’ts, and how to get buy-in from investors.





  • 10:20 – 10:55: Boss up your LinkedIn Profile. Why exactly do you need to boss up your profile? COSMO Deputy Editor, Noxolo Mafu, explains. She’ll outline what a possible employer is looking out for, as well as the key steps to take to make you stand out from the crowd.





  • 10:55 – 11:25: How to turn yourself into a brand. Who better than COSMO cover girl and businesswoman, Boity Thulo to lead this masterclass? Boity will cover the art of networking, attracting clients and thinking outside the box.





  • 11:25 – 11:40: The perfect first impression. It’s all about dressing and feeling great. COSMO Fashion Editor, Clare Robertson, is here to demonstrate the best budget looks and how to make your wardrobe work harder for you.





  • 11:40: 12:10: Marketing your brand on social media. Conquer the social game with a little help from TFG’s Head of Marketing, Pride Maunatlala. She’ll chat about branding through social media, give top tips for building an audience, and discuss trends for self-starters wanting to make a lasting impression on their audience.





  • 12:10 – 12:50: Lunch, lit. Grab a canapé and head over to the Boschendal bar and now that you’re a LinkedIn boss, get a touch-up at the Yardley makeup station, before having your new profile pic shot by a professional.
