WHAT WE DO

WHO WE ARE
Kate's Story
Bandofsisters began not as a start-up in 2019, but as an evolution — a response to what I was seeing, feeling, and living. In the early 2020s, COVID changed how we worked and what we valued. Flexibility — once a rare privilege — became possible for millions. It showed us that work could be more human, more fluid, and more inclusive. But as we move through the second half of this decade, the cracks are reappearing. Opportunities are narrowing again for mid to later-career women with flexiblity and carer needs, and the gap between untapped female talent and access to meaningful work is widening.
​
I founded Bandofsisters (BOSS) to change that — to create a safe, creative, and connected community where women can explore, expand and experiment with their careers. What started as small coaching circles, our BOSS PODs, became a movement for hundreds of women co-creating the next chapter of their working lives through shared learning, mentoring, and collaboration.
​
We believe women don’t need fixing — the system does. Too often, organisations overlook the creativity, empathy and innovation that exist in their workplaces and local communities. BOSS bridges this gap by putting practical tools, coaching and problem solving directly into women’s hands — helping them turn ideas into action and confidence into opportunity.
​
Today, BOSS is more than a community — it’s a collective career movement for women seeking change, helping women build confidence, find purpose, and reconnect with possibility.
​
Because the future of work isn’t somewhere else — it’s already here, in our community, waiting to be seen.

Join Bandofsisters for career support when life changes your path. Virtual BOSS PODs connect community and professional women through career transitions, breaks and reinventions. Sydney based, Australia wide.
We exist because careers aren’t linear — and for many women, breaks, off-ramps and reinventions are part of the story. Bandofsisters exists to be your first point of navigation when your career shifts - the steady circle that catches you, supports you and helps your find your pathway. Emotional support from other women who get it.

COMMUNITY started in 2019

1. We ignite our spark, confidence and pathway with BOSS PODS
​
BOSS PODS are small virtual circles of 5 to 10 women and designed to steady you, support you, and help you move forward. We know it’s easier to take a new step when you’re surrounded by women who get it. Some might call these sessions human-centred design, creative problem-solving groups or peer coaching.
We simply call them BOSS PODS — steadying circles where women can pause, talk, regroup, and with momentum turn uncertainty into clarity, and ideas into action.

2. We provide opportunities to the corporate sector through mentoring.
​
-
We see connecting women across communities and corporates with mentoring nurtures innovation and creates new opportunities.
-
We bring small groups of corporate and community women together in virtual mentoring sessions to realise potential and open up access to new channels, talent and ideas.
-
We see this makes good social and business sense when women spend 75% of all household budgets.
-
We show corporates how they can #hiredifferently #engagedifferently #distributedifferently.

3. We expand opportunities and challenge barriers.
​
Through partnerships and advocacy, we use our scale to make you visible, we amplify our voices for choices not compromises.
We advocate for:
- Destigmitising of career breaks
- Workforce practices centred around family and career
- Measurement of women’s career off ramping

My idea was to create strengthen fine motor control for preschool aged children. A stepping stone to the school journey.
The only way to move an idea forward is to have a team of wonderful women around you who are all ready to support you in so many practical ways.

Boss was so incredibly helpful in getting me focused on setting up my business, Envision Services. Kate was really supportive & encouraging of everyone in the BOSS POD and did so in a light hearted and relaxed way.
I enjoyed meeting a whole new team of people, going through the same issues & sharing ideas & thoughts on our respective career moves or new businesses. Thank you BOSS!
