This isn’t another event where you sit, listen, take a few notes and go home unchanged.
Financial Freedom for Females is an intimate half-day event at the Media One Hotel, Dubai Media City, created for women who are ready to stop leaving their financial future to chance.
You’ll experience two powerful live keynotes with me, where I’ll challenge what you’ve been taught about money, wealth and financial freedom - and introduce you to the money rules most of us were never taught.
But this isn’t just about listening.
Through one intimate breakout session, you’ll do the thinking, the reflecting and the planning - getting clear on where you are financially, what may be holding you back, and what needs to change to create the future you actually want.
Add coffee, a light lunch, meaningful conversations and a room filled with ambitious women who have decided they want more choice, more control and more freedom.
You don’t need to know everything about money.
You just need to decide that it’s time to take control of yours.
One Event in Dubai could change the way you think about money forever. Saturday 10 October 2026, 10am to 2pm.

  • Two Live Keynotes
  • One Breakout Session

Be honest with me

Let Me Guess. You Hold Everything Together, Except Your Own Money.

How many of these are yours?

If you ticked even one, this is your moment to change the story. You have the power to understand your money, make confident decisions about it and create a financial future that belongs to you. After sixteen years in classrooms, I realised something that changed the way I think about money completely: financial freedom doesn’t begin with how much you earn - it begins with deciding that you are going to take control.

None of this is a character flaw. Nobody handed you the rulebook.

Money has rules. How it's earned, how it's kept, how it grows, and above all, how it's thought about. Some people were taught those rules early, at the kitchen table, as naturally as table manners. Most of us were taught something else entirely: work hard, look after everyone, be grateful, don't ask too many questions about the money.

On 10 October, I’m going to make money make sense. No jargon. No assumptions. No question too basic. I’ll break down the money rules step by step, in a way that’s clear, practical and easy to apply - so you don’t just leave knowing more about money, you leave feeling confident, empowered and ready to take control of yours.

A note from Michelle

I spent 30+ years in coaching. I Never Stopped.

Hello, I'm Michelle.

Before the businesses and the awards, I was a school teacher in the UK. I loved it. By 2006 I'd become one of the county's youngest Assistant Head Teachers, and I spent sixteen years in education, a good stretch of it in senior management.

Michelle Louise Crook writing in a notebook at her desk, smiling

Sixteen years in education gave me a front-row seat to something most people rarely get to witness: the moment a belief becomes a limitation.

I watched bright, capable children begin deciding, sometimes as young as nine or ten, what was “for them” and what wasn’t. What they could achieve. How ambitious they were allowed to be. What success looked like for someone like them.

And some of the deepest beliefs we carry are the ones we develop around money.

I recognised early on that my own relationship with money didn’t fit the traditional script: work hard, keep your head down, be grateful for what you have and don’t ask for too much.

I wanted more - not simply more money, but more choice, more freedom and more control over the life I could create.

That belief eventually took me beyond the classroom and into entrepreneurship, where I went on to build multiple seven-figure businesses. But the teacher in me never disappeared.

Instead, I took what I had learned about how beliefs are formed, how behaviour changes and how potential is unlocked and made it part of my life’s work: empowering people to challenge the beliefs that have been quietly determining what they think is possible for them.

Because after years of teaching, coaching and building businesses, there is one thing I know for certain:

Your financial future isn’t determined only by what you earn. It is shaped by what you believe you are capable of creating - and what you’re prepared to do differently once you know better.

Michelle Louise Crook speaking on stage with a microphone in front of an audience

So why Dubai, and why this event?

Because through my academy, my businesses and the women I meet, I keep seeing the same woman.

She’s capable. She’s ambitious. She’s the one everyone relies on.

She holds together a family, a career - sometimes an entire business. She remembers what needs paying, what everyone needs and where the money needs to go.

But somewhere along the way, she was given the responsibility of making everyone else’s life work without ever being taught how to make money work for her.

She was taught how to earn it.
How to spend it.
How to stretch it.
How to worry about it.

But not how to build with it. Grow it. Protect it. Or use it to create freedom.

And that’s exactly why I’m bringing Financial Freedom for Females to Dubai.

Dubai is a city built around possibility, ambition and thinking bigger - and I want to bring together a room of women who are ready to do exactly that with their financial lives.

I also know the money space has become incredibly noisy.

There are people standing beside supercars promising financial freedom by Friday. Complicated terminology. Conflicting advice. Investment conversations that make you feel like you should already understand everything.

It’s no wonder so many intelligent women switch off.

But money doesn’t have to feel complicated.

Underneath all the noise are some simple, powerful principles that can completely change the way you think about earning, keeping, growing and using your money.

And I want to teach them to you.

Not through another online video you save and never watch.

In a room. Together. In Dubai.

One powerful Event.

Two transformational lessons with me. One intimate breakout session where you’ll turn what you learn into thinking and action for your life. Coffee, lunch, honest conversations - and a room filled with women who understand exactly why they’re there.

Women who are ready to ask better questions.
Women who are ready to have different conversations about money.
Women who want more choice, more confidence and more control over what happens next.

You won’t just leave knowing more about money.

I want you to leave seeing yourself - and what is financially possible for your life - differently.

Because sometimes one room, one conversation and one decision can change the direction of everything.

On 10 October, I want that room to be ours.

And I want you in it.

Here's Exactly What Happens On The Day

You should know precisely what you're booking, so here is the full running order. Saturday 10 October 2026 at the Media One Hotel, Dubai Media City.

10:00 AM

ARRIVE. CONNECT. GET READY.

Registration, coffee and your first opportunity to meet the women you’ll be sharing the Event with. When you find your seat, look underneath - you’ll discover a card revealing your one breakout experience for later.

10:30 AM

KEYNOTE ONE: THE MONEY RULES NOBODY TAUGHT YOU

With Michelle

Where did your beliefs about money really come from - and are they still serving you? We’ll uncover the invisible rules that have been shaping the way you earn, spend, save and think about money - often without you even realising it.

11:15 AM

COFFEE & CONNECTION

Grab a coffee, connect with someone new and get ready to head to the breakout session on your card.

11:30 AM

BREAKOUT SESSION: MAKE IT PERSONAL

This is where inspiration becomes integration. In a smaller, facilitator-led group, you’ll experience an immersive practice designed to integrate the keynote insights and create meaningful shifts in your relationship with money.

12:00 PM

RESET & REFLECT

A quick breather, a coffee and time to let some of those new ideas land before we come back together.

12:15 PM

KEYNOTE TWO: FROM KNOWING TO DOING

With Michelle

Understanding the rules is one thing. Changing the way you play the game is another. This session is about turning what you now know into action - and beginning to build a financial future with greater confidence, intention and control.

1:00 PM

LUNCH, CONNECTION & CONVERSATION

This is where the room becomes part of the experience. Enjoy a light lunch, continue the conversations, exchange numbers, make connections and meet women you might never otherwise have crossed paths with.

Because sometimes the person sitting beside you becomes part of what happens next.

2:00 PM

LEAVE DIFFERENTLY

Not with pages of notes you’ll never look at again.

But with greater clarity.
Greater confidence.
A different conversation with yourself about money.
And, most importantly, your next move.

Doors open at 10 sharp.
✦ Your financial future is worth showing up for. ✦

Plus special guests

Designed like a lesson, because it is one

Why This Event Was Built This Way

1

Two powerful keynotes - because financial freedom starts with how you think

Sixteen years in education taught me something I’ve carried into every business I’ve built: before you can change your results, you have to change the thinking that creates them.

That’s why our Event is anchored by two powerful live keynotes. First, we’ll uncover the beliefs and “money rules” that have quietly shaped your financial decisions. Then, we’ll turn that awareness into action - giving you a new way to think about money, make decisions and take greater control of what happens next.

Because when you change the way you think about money, you change what becomes possible with it.

2

One intimate breakout experience - because transformation gets personal

Real change doesn’t happen by simply sitting in an audience and listening. It happens when you have the space to reflect, question, connect and apply what you’ve learned to your own life.

That’s why you’ll take part in one carefully designed small-group breakout session. Away from the main stage, you’ll explore the teaching through your money, your beliefs and your ambitions - alongside a small group of women doing exactly the same.

This is where insight becomes personal, conversations become powerful, and you begin turning “I understand” into “I’m ready to do something differently.”

3

One powerful room of women - because who you surround yourself with matters

There’s something powerful about being in a room filled with women who have made the same decision: to take their financial future seriously.

That’s why connection isn’t squeezed into the gaps - it’s intentionally built into the experience. Over coffee and lunch, you’ll have the opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, build relationships and connect with women you may never otherwise have met.

Because while some of your biggest insights will come from the stage, some of the most valuable conversations could come from the woman sitting right beside you.

One introduction. One conversation. One connection.

You never know what it could unlock.

This Event Was Created For You If...

  • You’re the woman everyone relies on.

    You manage the family, the career, the business, the bills - sometimes all of it. Now you’re ready to give your own financial future the same energy, attention and intention you give everyone else.
  • You’re ready for money to finally make sense.

    No jargon. No judgement. No assumption that you should already know. Just clear, practical teaching from someone who spent sixteen years helping people understand things they once thought were complicated.
  • You want more than another podcast, book or saved social-media post.

    You want to be in the room - listening, thinking, asking questions and having the conversations that are difficult to have anywhere else.
  • You know you’re capable of more financially.

    You may earn well, run a business or have big ambitions, but you know there’s another level of confidence, understanding and control you want to reach.
  • You’re beginning to question the money story you inherited.

    What if some of the beliefs you’ve carried about money were never actually yours? You’re ready to examine them, challenge them and decide which ones come with you into your future.
  • You want to be surrounded by women who are thinking bigger too.

    Women who want more choice. More confidence. More independence. More possibility - and who aren’t afraid to talk openly about creating it.
  • You don’t need to arrive knowing everything about money.

    You simply need to arrive knowing you’re ready for something to change.

    If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start taking your financial future seriously - consider this your invitation.

    10 October. Dubai. Your money. Your future. Your move.

This Probably Isn’t Your Room If…

  • You’re looking for a shortcut to getting rich.

    There’ll be no hot stock tips, crypto predictions or promises of overnight wealth here. Financial freedom isn’t built on hype - it’s built on understanding, better decisions and intentional action.
  • You’re comfortable leaving your financial future in somebody else’s hands.

    There’s nothing wrong with getting expert advice, but this Event is about something bigger: understanding your money well enough to have a voice in the decisions that shape your life.
  • You want to listen without participating.

    This isn’t an event designed for you to disappear into the back row. The breakout rooms are intentionally small because the real breakthroughs often happen when you reflect, contribute, ask questions and apply the learning to your own life.
  • You’re not ready to challenge what you currently believe about money.

    Some of what we explore may make you question ideas you’ve carried for years - about earning, wealth, success and what’s financially possible for you.

    And that’s intentional.
  • Financial Freedom for Females is for women who are ready to become active participants in their financial future.

    You don’t need to arrive confident.
    You don’t need to arrive knowing all the answers.
    You don’t need to have “sorted” your finances.

    You just need to arrive ready.

The practical bits

Your Questions, Answered

Where exactly is it?

The Media One Hotel in Dubai Media City. It's easy to reach from anywhere in Dubai, and there's parking at the hotel. Full joining instructions come with your ticket.

What time should I arrive?

Registration and coffee run from 10:00, and the first keynote starts at 10:30. Come at 10 if you can: the coffee is included, the seats are unassigned, and your breakout card is waiting under one of them.

What's included in my ticket?

Everything on the day: both keynotes, your one breakout session, arrival coffee, the refreshments and a light lunch. One price, nothing sold to you at the door.

How does the breakout room work?

During the breakout session, you'll join a small group focused on a specific topic, giving you the opportunity to discuss ideas, ask questions, and learn from others. It sits in the middle of the programme deliberately—it's part of the lesson, and it's where the teaching becomes yours.

Is the event just for women?

It's built for women, by women: the content, the breakout rooms and the conversation are all designed around the financial realities women deal with.

Do I need to bring anything?

A notebook and a pen. There may be a worksheet or two. I spent sixteen years as a teacher, and old habits die hard.

Is this financial advice?

No. Financial Freedom for Females is an educational event about how you think about, manage and plan around money. Nothing on the day is financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and nothing is a personal recommendation. For decisions about your own money, speak to an appropriately qualified, licensed financial professional.
