Thank you to all of the fantastic ladies who attended October's London Women Mean Business meeting. A great atmosphere once again, lots of good connections being made in the room, and for those of you who were unable to attend, this is what you missed:
The fabulous Kathy Ennis of Envision Training who talked to us about the secrets of The 4Vs Principle©, her method of creating a strong personal brand for business growth. Some great tips and advice on building a personal brand which made us all think about our brand names, colours, and how we communicate both verbally and in writing. Kathy runs Personal Branding Masterclasses with small groups of up to 10 people, in addition to offering Personal Brand Individual Mentoring and Presentation Skills training. Click here to learn more.
We then had 3 ladies talking passionately about what they do in our 5 minute slots:
Lena Benjamin of Ones Company - Lena talked to us about unleashing your power, how important it is to think positively and then great things will happen! Lena runs Onescompany.co.uk, the one stop shop to personal and business development for women (events, products, news, business advice and coaches/mentors). Women can join free by clicking here while Coaches/Mentors can also join free here (men also welcome!!). Promote your services on onescompany.co.uk, join the coaching/mentoring community, increase your exposure and attend networking events. Lots of other fantastic benefits can be found online.
Piya Khanna of Change to Succeed - Piya spoke about how it's imperative for us to communicate our offers so that people who need our services can find us and benefit from them. We need to love selling and see it as communicating our value & offer and become comfortable with sales. Piya helps women to get more clients, make more money, get promoted in their organisation and achieve balance in their lives by helping them become more confident, better negotiators and excellent sales people. Piya is offering all LWMB ladies a no obligation, FREE 90 minute strategy session. Interested? Email Piya directly at piya@changetosucceed.com
Temitope Obasa of TT Denim - Temitope arrived armed with samples of her fab jeans on which she has spent several years perfecting the design. They are made to suit all shapes and sizes, with no gaping at the back and with several different leg lengths. Perfect for those of us who are vertically challenged! TT Denim jeans will be available online initially, and if anyone has a contact within small boutiques or indeed large department stores (Selfridges, Harvey Nicks, Debenhams etc), then Temitope would love to hear from you!
There are a few events coming up soon which we thought may be of interest to you:
Sunday 17th October - Akua Deaba is hosting a charity dining event in aid of Eat So They Can. Details of this event and more info on the charity can be found here. We realise it's short notice and diaries are busy, but if you're not able to attend it's still possible to make a donation.
Tuesday 19th October - Bella of RareWorld is hosting a networking event at Jewel Bar in Piccadilly, beginning at 6pm with a drinks reception followed by a workshop on networking skills at 6.45pm. For more info click here.
Wednesday 20th October - City Business Library - "Under One Roof" networking event. 6-8pm. An opportunity to network, speak to library staff, sponsors & exhibitors, and listen to speaker Stephen Jones OBE. Click for further information.
Thursday 21st October - London Women Mean Business and Innovate London are hosting a joint evening of networking. This will be an opportunity to hear guest speakers and to speak to Innovate London about how they can assist your business to be more innovative through helping to engage with London’s world class knowledge base. Although we now have our limit of 30 people signed up to this event, please still let us know if you're interested as we may be able to offer some additional places. Email us to register your interest.
So if your diary was looking empty for next week (unlikely!), then one of these events might appeal.
Next month's LWMB meetup takes place on Thursday 11th November. Hope to see you there.
Until then, happy networking!
