Bond 9 is an exhilarating six-week online experience where you learn to build your confidence and the confidence of the women around you. It all happens LIVE alongside hundreds of curious women from all over the world.

I promise three outcomes: you'll start to love the thing that scares you, you'll find your people, and 10x your confidence.

Panel of women smiling on stage

We're supporting 10 million women.

Are you in? 

UPFRONT is building a world where low confidence and lack of community are never why a woman doesn't do what she wants to do.

The problem isn't that women aren't confident but that confidence in women is not rewarded in the world. This is the problem we're solving together.

The Bond will feel like a kick up the ass and a warm hug at the same time.


What is a Bond?

Bond 9 3rd March - 7th April 2025

A bond is the collective noun for a group of women. We wrote a poem for you about it.

UPFRONT Bonds are the world's top choice for women and organisations that want to increase their confidence.  
Thousands of women from over 50 countries have joined a Bond since we launched in August 2020.

Who we're helping to build a culture of confidence

So What Exactly is the Missing Link?

When you’re trying to make changes in your personal and professional lives, it's not usually a lack of skill, motivation, talent, or drive that stops you. 

It’s a lack of confidence, and can appear in three main ways :

Question mark

The desire to please others

Question mark

Craving approval (worrying about others' opinions)

Question mark

Seeking safety and comfort (  due to a fear of confrontation and desire for safety)

Quotation mark
I joined because I feel I can offer more to the world. I spend too much time researching but never taking action

Emma, Bond 5

Quotation mark
Because of UPFRONT I now earn 69% more. I'm using what I learned in the Bond every single day

Julia, Bond 3

Quotation mark
I can't begin to tell you how the Bond is already changing me on a day to day basis. My communication, my conversation - everything you've taught is at the forefront of my mind before I act

Samiya, bond 2

Sound familiar ?

Women join the Bond from all over the world, from teenagers to women over 60, from apprentices to managing directors - and everything in between.

We don't care about your job title, and we care about your values.

You are in the right place.

I'm here for my 6 year old daughter. I want to model confidence and help her use her voice too
I feel that confidence and self-belief have held me back from going ‘all in’ for a very long time
I want to build emotional resilience at work and learn to stand up for myself again
I’m here to learn how to speak up in the moment
I want a sense of community and camaraderie
I’m one of the best in the world at what I do. I know this. But it’s hard for me to say it out loud

We see women making three Big mistakes when it comes to confidence

We're on a mission to support 1 million women with confidence

UPFRONT is building a world where low confidence is never the reason a woman doesn't do the thing they want to do. The problem isn’t that women aren’t confident but that confidence in women is not rewarded in the world. This is the problem we are solving.

We're on a mission to support 1 million women with confidence and this is your invitation to be part of it.

Would I recommend it? Yes, absolutely. To every woman I know. In every job, or no job. Those speaking out once a year or twice per day. Those managing corporations or households. I would also suggest you make it available to your teams. I have recommended it to my own employers. If you do want to enrol, do it wholeheartedly. Try all the activities. Join in with the group. Ask questions. Say what you think

What Bonders say

Quotation marks
Bond 8 has been such a meaningful space for our team to connect and grow through this shared learning experience. The weekly LIVEs were a real highlight, featuring inspiring coaching, thoughtful reflections, and dynamic conversations with our Bond 8 community. One of the most powerful aspects of this course is that everyone graduates with an expanded network, staying connected well beyond the six weeks.The course's impactful videos linked to journaling and further discussions with fellow Bonders, ground the learning and lead to actionable outcomes. What Lauren and her team do so brilliantly is spark change that feels unstoppable, once you’ve completed the course, there’s no looking back—only moving forward and making things happen. I would highly recommend the Bond!

Meenal

Dr. meenal viz

NHS Dr and activist

As a doctor, mother, and woman of South Asian heritage, I never knew I could find my voice and speak up to create positive change. Growing up, I never saw someone with my skin colour on TV, women like me were never celebrated. As I started out in the field of activism, I was always clouded with imposter syndrome because historically speaking, women like me have been silenced when speaking truth to power. But thanks to the Bond I've learned to find my voice and my confidence.

Gently, we will shake the world!

Kathryn

Kathryn Grace

Head of Design, NHS England

Thank you UPFRONT for turning my engines and releasing the confidence that I needed to show to get my new job. Taking blocks from the wheels in front of my eyes. Showing me the injustice. And wrong doing. I thought I wasn't good enough but that was never the case. I'm still removing the barriers I have unconsciously accepted. But now I see them.

Natalie

Sofia Medina Andrade

Talent Acquisition, Bosch

I joined Bond 3 to find energy and motivation to overcome a particular challenge. I found much more than tools more than strategies. I found a community. I found an amazing support network that is Lauren and her UPFRONT team. My amazing buddy groups! Everything the Bond taught me is still helping me deconstruct some of my limiting beliefs. I hope that you'll join us.

Annie

Annie Mbako

Inclusive Process Designer

Since day one, this has been more than a course. It's a space where intersectional feminism is well and truly alive. As a Black woman, I didn't have to work extra  to be 'seen'.

Llana

Ilana Wisby

Chief Executive Officer, Oxford Quantum Circuits

Joining the UPFRONT Bond was one of the most impactful professional and personal experiences I've ever had. For a long time, I’ve operated in male-dominated spaces but didn’t feel like I was able to make the impact I wanted to. I had the 'position of power', the capability, and plenty to say. And, despite all that - I simply didn’t feel heard. I read the books, worked to learn - but I never quite found long-lasting strategies that worked.Until now. At UPFRONT, I was surrounded by an incredible group of allies in a safe and motivating space where vulnerability was strength. I found my cheerleaders, my confidence, and now I am heard.UPFRONT was so powerful for me, that I now offer the course to every woman in our team, too.

Who is the Bond for?

The Bond is for you if

  • You spend time living up to other's expectations and not your own
  • You worry about offending others, so you rarely say what you mean
  • Your confidence is off balance; you are confident in one area of your life but scared sh*tless in another area
  • You’re afraid if you've let your voice out it will be too loud
  • You're ready to unlearn and forget the stories you've been taught since childhood about playing it small and safe

The Bond is not for you if

  • You are happy for the status quo to remain
  • You're not prepared to shift long held beliefs
  • You aren't willing to be uncomfortable
  • You want change without the messy bit
  • You believe there is one version of confidence that suits everyone
  • You don't have 2-3 hours a week to commit to your growth, development and community

This kind of work is contagious

You'll learn how to identify and challenge negative self-talk, embrace your unique strengths, and develop the skills to advocate for yourself and others at work and at home

This kind of work is best in community

Grow your self-confidence through sharing with others. This is so much more than a 'course', we're setting you up for lifelong success by making community central to your journey. Chances are you'll make a new friend for life.

This kind of work is radical

UPFRONT is different because we are centering the truth that women are not broken. You're going to work on your individual agency and progress at the same time as working to change the system.

We're building the world we want to live in.
