A New BCD Offering - Built for Regional Women
If you’re building a business, leading a team, running a family enterprise, or carrying “the whole thing” in a small community, you already know the hidden cost:
Decisions get made alone.
Challenges get managed quietly.
Growth can feel further away than it should.
BCD Regional (Murray Bridge) is designed to change that.
You’ll meet with a hand-picked group of women who understand your world, your pace, and your pressure, in a space that’s confidential, structured, and genuinely useful.
What You’ll Experience in BCD Regional
Confidential, Facilitator-led Peer Coaching and Mentoring
Bring your real issues. The Group will help you think clearly, detect blind spots, and leave with actionable next steps.
High-Calibre Network, Local Access
Connect with ambitious women across sectors, founders, executives, operators, and family business leaders. You’ll learn what’s working (and avoid expensive detours).
A Rhythm That Respects Your Calendar
Six bi-monthly sessions per year. Focused, practical, and worth the travel.
You’re local, not limited. Tap into the behind closed doors’ vibrant national community for Member-Exclusive Webinars, insights, and introductions.
Who This Is For
This is for women in Murray Bridge and the Riverland region who are:
Business owners and founders
Senior leaders and executives
Family business leaders and key decision-makers
Women stepping into leadership and wanting to lead with clarity and confidence
If you’re looking for a room where you don’t have to over-explain, you’ll feel at home.
What Makes BCD Different
(and Why It Works)
behind closed doors is built on:
Curated groups (you’re placed, not randomly mixed).
Facilitated sessions (structure that drives outcomes).
Confidentiality (real conversations happen safely).
Peer mentoring + practical tools (support you can apply on Monday morning).
It’s professional development that feels like momentum, and belonging.
