Step into Grantley Hall to unlock your confidence and boost your style
Tickets are on sale for a day-long event at Grantley Hall, designed for women who want to boost their confidence, focusing on wellbeing, style, skincare and mindset.
Taking place on Wednesday, May 20, and set amid the glorious environs of “Yorkshire’s Poshest Hotel”, as featured on Channel 5, The Confidence Code gathers a team of Yorkshire experts bringing insight designed to uplift, connect, support and encourage inner and outer confidence.
The event will run 9:30am to 3:30pm and includes networking and coffee breaks as well as a Grantley Hall two-course buffet lunch.
There will be a style session by Anna Mewes @annamewes, a well-known personal stylist with over a decade of experience, having trained in London in 2012. She provides styling services ranging from colour analysis and wardrobe audits, as well as personal shopping experiences throughout Leeds and the surrounding areas.


The Joy Coach Ali Mortimer (@alimortimer_thejoycoach) will present Joy is your confident edge, a session exploring how joy is the key to creating the life you want, with interactive exercises to help learn who you are, how to power yourself up, and how to understand your unique blueprint.
“Joy is the highest frequency available to you — and the most powerful place to create the life you want. You have the power,” Ali says.
The Brand Star Exercise helps understand who you are and want to be known. The Hawkins Scale explains how to power yourself up energetically, moving from lower frequencies (shame, fear, doubt) to higher ones (courage, love, peace, joy). Audiences will leave with a clear sense of who they are, why joy is their greatest asset, and practical tools to step into confidence.
Dr Lubna Kahn-Salim, a former plastic surgeon turned longevity physician, and the co-founder of Bloom Longevity Labs (@bloomlongevitylabs) and This is Yorkshire Beauty (@thisisyorkshirebeauty) is another key speaker.


She will be sharing The Female Longevity Code, a powerful exploration of ageing, wellness and inner confidence.
Dr Lubna believes midlife is a critical window and the biggest blind spot in women’s health and that there is an intimate connection between skin health, whole-body wellness and real beauty. The event is hosted by women’s employment charity Smart Works Leeds, and all funds raised will go to fund its vital work of supporting women into work through its coaching and clothing services.
“Confidence isn’t an accident,” says Smart Works Leeds chair Tracy Fletcher. “It has a set of elements that, when brought together, help us feel grounded, capable, and ready to step into opportunity.”
There will be exclusive access to the Smart Works designer clothing rail, bursting with premium and high-end fashion pieces donated to the charity by retailers and individuals.
There will also be the opportunity to explore the Confidence Experience Lounge featuring: a curated collection of luxury skincare; body confidence photoshoots with Bold by Kila photo studio; personal mini health MOTs with Dr Hayley; skin consultations; the latest red light therapy technology with Dermalux red light devices, HUME body composition analysis; EverBloom by Victoria with mini holistic consultations such as ear seeding, acupuncture; and Manasi 7 skincare.
Plus networking and a charity raffle, with outstanding prizes available.
