Come and join in and be a part of You Are The Media Lunch Club, in Poole.
The new Lunch Club year has started and our events head up to April 2026, before Creator Day, next May.
Lunch Club helps you transition from staying in your lane to sharing ideas, support, and creativity with like-minded people who truly understand your perspective.
Our format is simple. A theme, limited tech, good food and spending time with great people. Lunch Clubs are in a panel format, that way we can hear perspectives and experiences from more than one person.
We’ve been figuring out live events since 2016. Business events can be something different, something memorable. Think of it as a production and everyone plays a part in the show.

Plus, we’re kicking off the new learning year with our friends at La Mias and Emma Collins is your host for this occasion.

What Is The September Theme? Being Genuine
Being genuine sounds simple, just show up as yourself.
In our professional lives, online spaces, and creative work, that can be a surprisingly complicated thing to do.
At this Lunch Club, we’ll explore what it really means to be genuine. Is it about sharing everything, or sharing the right things?
Is being open the same as being honest?
We’ll unpack the messy, powerful space where identity and visibility and how showing who you are (with care and intention) builds deeper trust.
Let’s look at:
What’s the difference between being genuine and oversharing?
How do you decide what to share with your audience or peers?
Have you ever held something back on purpose? What was the outcome?
How do you want to be seen? How does that influence what you share?
Have you ever felt pressure to act more “on brand” than honest?
Where do your boundaries sit when it comes to showing the personal side of your work?
Does vulnerability make you feel empowered or exposed?
Lunch Club gives you a seat at the table, literally and figuratively. It’s not networking. It’s shared learning, encouragement, and being with other people who are on your side.
