The Breakfast Mastermind is a small-scale, high-impact series for members to exchange with one of The Nine’s advisory board members.

Over coffee and breakfast (because authenticity tastes better with a pastry), the discussion is shaped by the room: your questions, your challenges, your current realities. Expect sharp perspectives, concrete examples, hard-earned lessons, and space for honest dialogue.

Each session is intentionally limited in size to keep the exchange dynamic, personal, and genuinely useful. You’ll leave with new ways of thinking, a sense of emulation, and a stronger connection to the women steering The Nine.

Light breakfast is included. If you have any food or dietary restrictions, please let us know at events@thenine.be at least 7 days prior to the event.
