ARE GATHERING…
and creating a home for purposeful professionals.
Thursday 21st May - 6pm-9pm
The Ministry, 79-81 Borough Road, London SE1 1DN
You're really not on your own.
You're probably the one in the room who sees things differently. Who's pushing for change — in your organisation, your career, your life. Who knows something needs to shift, even when no one else quite gets it yet.
That can be a challenging place to be.
The Gathering is where you can be comfortable in the knowing that what we are doing is complex, it is nuanced and no paint by numbers approach will ever do it justice.
This is an intentional meeting point for the unconventional — the leaders, the business owners, the purposeful professionals and the quietly restless — coming together to share what's really going on, learn from each other, and stay on track.
No keynotes. No PowerPoint. No keeping you busy. Just real people creating real shifts, doing the rethink, the refocus, the re-set, the re-invention and re-position. In Real Time - together.
The room will do the work.
🔥 To be in a room where people actually get it
🧠 To pick up honest tips and tools from people ahead of, behind, and alongside you
🤝 To find your people — the ones who'll keep you accountable yet sane when it gets hard
📌 To get clarity on what you're building and confidence that you're headed in the right direction
Why come?
Who is this for?
The Gathering is for you if you're:
Leading people into a new chapter in your organisation and carrying it largely alone
At a moment where you know something needs to shift but you're not sure what's next
Building something independently and craving a community who gets the ambition
Wanting to stay sharp, stay connected, and stay on track with people who challenge you
You don't need a job title. You don't need to have it figured out. You just need to be ready to show up — honestly.
What's the intention?
This isn't networking. This isn't a workshop with a takeaway workbook.
It's a space where the right people collide with the right questions — and leave with more than they arrived with. And at least one person in their corner who wasn't there before.
The Gathering is the heartbeat of the ShakerMakers community. It exists because the best ideas, the biggest shifts, and the most important support systems don't come from being alone with your ambition.
They come from being in the right room. Where human is the premium, where people show their underbelly and not their thick skin.
What it's not:
🚫 Not a lecture, nor a sales pitch
🚫 Not a room to be worked or workshopped
🚫Not another event you leave thinking you'll never get that time back again.
The vibe:
Intimate.
Honest.
High energy where it counts.
Facilitated by Kerry Nickols, founder of ShakerMakers.
With the room doing most of the talking.
40 people maximum.
Every voice matters.
