“SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN ARE REDEFINING WHAT SUCCESS MEANS TO THEM. IT’S NO LONGER MEASURED SOLELY BY JOB TITLES OR SALARIES, BUT BY CONFIDENCE, FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE, AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP, MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS AND THE COURAGE TO BUILD LIVES OF PURPOSE AND PROSPERITY ON THEIR OWN TERMS.”
THIS IS THE BOLD STATEMENT FROM TARYN HUNTER SHARMAN, CO-FOUNDER OF BRAVE COLLECTIVE, AHEAD OF THE ORGANISATION’S EIGHTH FLAGSHIP EVENT, FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE. OWN IT., TAKING PLACE AT THE FORUM, BRYANSTON, ON WEDNESDAY, 5 AUGUST 2026.
TARYN BELIEVES THAT AT THE HEART OF THIS SHIFT IS A GROWING REALISATION THAT TRUE FINANCIAL SUCCESS BEGINS WITH SELF-BELIEF. BEFORE WOMEN CAN GROW THEIR NET WORTH, THEY FIRST NEED TO RECOGNISE THEIR SELF-WORTH.
“TOO OFTEN WOMEN HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED TO KNOW THEIR WORTH, BUT NOT ALWAYS SHOWN HOW TO TRANSLATE THAT INTO LASTING WEALTH, INFLUENCE AND OPPORTUNITY,” SAYS HUNTER SHARMAN. “BRAVE COLLECTIVE EXISTS TO HELP WOMEN CLOSE THAT GAP. WHEN WOMEN TRULY OWN THEIR VALUE, THEY ARE BETTER EQUIPPED TO BUILD FINANCIAL SECURITY, STRONGER CAREERS, MEANINGFUL BUSINESSES AND LIVES THEY GENUINELY LOVE.”
NOW IN ITS EIGHTH EDITION, FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE. OWN IT. IS NOT JUST A CONFERENCE. IT IS A PRACTICAL LEADERSHIP AND PERSONAL GROWTH EXPERIENCE THAT WILL BRING TOGETHER SOME OF SOUTH AFRICA’S MOST INFLUENTIAL FEMALE LEADERS TO EXPLORE HOW WOMEN CAN CONFIDENTLY OWN THEIR VALUE, MAKE SMARTER FINANCIAL DECISIONS, LEAD AUTHENTICALLY AND BUILD LIVES OF PURPOSE AND PROSPERITY.
THE EVENT FEATURES AN EXCEPTIONAL LINE-UP OF SPEAKERS, EACH BRINGING A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON LEADERSHIP, RESILIENCE, FINANCIAL WELLBEING AND PERSONAL GROWTH.
KHENSANI NOBANDA, TWICE NAMED MARKETING INDUSTRY LEADER OF THE YEAR, NEDBANK GROUP EXECUTIVE AND HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL ALUMNA: WILL EXPLORE HOW EMBRACING NON-CONFORMITY CAN BECOME A WOMAN’S GREATEST LEADERSHIP ADVANTAGE.
RACHEL KOLISI: WILL SHARE AN HONEST CONVERSATION ABOUT RESILIENCE, REINVENTION AND REBUILDING IDENTITY THROUGH LIFE’S TRANSITIONS, ENCOURAGING WOMEN TO DEFINE THEMSELVES BEYOND TITLES, EXPECTATIONS AND PUBLIC PERCEPTION.
CARLA VENTER, BETTER KNOWN AS MONEY WITH CARLA: THE FINANCIAL EDUCATOR WILL UNPACK PRACTICAL STRATEGIES TO HELP WOMEN TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR FINANCES, DEVELOP HEALTHIER MONEY HABITS AND BUILD LONG-TERM WEALTH WITH CONFIDENCE.
JOINING THE CONVERSATION ARE BRAVE COLLECTIVE FOUNDERS TARYN HUNTER SHARMAN AND PERRI KING, TOGETHER WITH LIHLE NGXOKOLO-NQINI, CO-FOUNDER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MAXHOSA AFRICA. TOGETHER, THEY WILL LEAD MEANINGFUL DISCUSSIONS AROUND LEADERSHIP, FINANCIAL WELLBEING AND THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO WOMEN WHO CHOOSE TO OWN THEIR FUTURE.
UNLIKE TRADITIONAL MOTIVATIONAL EVENTS, FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE. OWN IT. HAS BEEN CURATED AS AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE COMBINING INSPIRING CONVERSATIONS, PRACTICAL MASTERCLASSES, AUTHENTIC NETWORKING AND ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES THAT WOMEN CAN IMPLEMENT IMMEDIATELY IN BOTH THEIR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIVES.
BRAVE COLLECTIVE BELIEVES THAT THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUCCESSFUL WOMEN WILL NOT SIMPLY BE DEFINED BY WHAT THEY ACHIEVE, BUT BY HOW CONFIDENTLY THEY OWN THEIR VALUE, INVEST IN THEMSELVES AND TRANSFORM SELF-WORTH INTO NET WORTH.

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE. OWN IT. IS A HALF-DAY, IN-PERSON GATHERING FOR WOMEN WHO ARE DONE SHRINKING THEIR POWER AND ARE READY TO HOLD IT WITH INTENTION. DESIGNED TO FEEL SPACIOUS, NOT RUSHED, INTELLIGENT, NOT PERFORMATIVE, AND PRACTICAL, NOT THEORETICAL, THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL CONFERENCE.
