"You can only meet someone as deeply as you have met yourself..."

The emPOWER Breakfast's founder, Athene Parker, has worked in the world of music and advertising for 25 years, including running her own music video production company.

The emPOWER Breakfast is a fast growing heart-centred business networking event, offering support to the advertising community through empathy building, creating change on a micro level in the workplace, and through shared stories from leading industry figures.

​

The initiative was born out of Athene's early experience with her preverbal autistic son. Realising there needed to be a space where our challenges are reflected back to us by people who have triumphed through adversity, this business networking, mental wellness support hub was born. Athene is committed to building a community who are emPOWERED to face their challenges and who lift each other up.​

​

She also runs theSENmumma, a mentoring network for parents of neurodivergent children and has begun an advertising group whose meetings are hosted at Saatchi and Saatchi.
