Aces High poker-inspired team workshop with Landmarc… everyone loved it!

We spent time reflecting on how we show up under pressure and learned how to manage knee-jerk behaviours that don’t serve us!

Ah thanks so much! Aces High came about because I saw how poker strategy helped me when raising VC funds for my FemTech startup!

Can’t believe the reaction we’ve had in our first year… we’ve hosted for VCs, investment managers, and law firms… and now a BBC feature to kick off 2025! 💪
