BRAND “YOU”, YOUR MOST VALUABLE BUSINESS CARD
For those of you who attended any LWMB meetings last year, you will probably be familiar with Italian stylist Nicoletta Adda, founder of Pinkananas Image Consultancy, a widely recognised provider of Personal Image and Branding services to both private and corporate clients.
Nicoletta is running a workshop on Friday 25th March in central London, and the early bird offer for tickets is available until 28th February so if you're interested in hearing from this charismatic, entertaining and very stylish woman, then be quick to book your ticket. We're sure you will find it very inspiring, not to mention informative and fun!
This workshop will provide you with the essential steps to develop an effective and positive personal image and brand. You will learn the core techniques of effective non-verbal communication and how to bridge any gaps between your values and the way you portray them to become a compelling and confident individual and professional … with style.
The workshop is highly interactive and, with the number of places limited to 20, every participant will benefit from full involvement and attention.
Common problems addressed are:
- CONNECTION - When I look in the mirror, what I see is not who I am
- VISIBILITY - I am a well kept secret: people don’t notice me
- CONFIDENCE - Everyone looks better than me
- IMPACT - My talent is undisputed yet I am constantly overlooked for promotion
- GAP - I have a great product/service but I can’t persuade people to buy it
- 1ST IMPRESSION - My CV is outstanding yet I never go past the 1st stage of an interview
- SELF AWARENESS - When I shop I often end up making costly mistakes
- IMAGE MANAGEMENT – I sometimes let my guard down
YOU WILL LEARN
- The ABC of 1st impression: Appearance, Behaviour, Communication
- How to build your brand: closing the gap between your values and your image
- How to “dress” your values and become memorable rather than forgettable
- The psychology of colours and how to use it to influence people
- To identify the best styles for your body shape and adapt them to your brand
- To successfully maintain your brand
By the end of the workshop you will know how to APPEAR, BEHAVE and COMMUNICATE with STYLE, CONFIDENCE, IMPACT, and BE YOUR MOST VALUABLE BUSINESS CARD!

Giv’Organic New Ethical Gift Experiences Website Launched
Launched this week in time for Valentine’s Day is Giv’Organic www.giv-organic.co.uk – a totally new concept in online experience shopping for gift seekers with a conscience. Everything on the site is organic, natural or eco-friendly, meaning the giver can show love for the recipient AND the planet. And for the whole month of February to celebrate the launch, Giv’Organic is offering a 10% discount on all gifts and experiences.
With all the gifts, ranging from green products and services, outdoor and indoor discoveries and entertainment, beauty, health and spa packages with an ethical or environmental message, the site is ideal for presents for all the family, friends and colleagues of all ages and from all walks of life. The site also offers gift vouchers for unsure shoppers so the recipient can choose their own special ethical gift.
Uniquely, Giv’Organic face value vouchers can be redeemed not only for experiences on the website but also other online eco-store partners offering ethical garments, organic baby products, cosmetics, organic plants and animal elixirs.
With each gift carefully selected Giv’Organic provides quick service and is currently offering special deals and gift ideas for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Easter. All Giv’Organic gift experiences are specially selected to create well being not only for the recipient but also for the environment – we seek to preserve natural resources, meaning the recipient can be secure in the knowledge that they are enjoying a day out without harming the planet.
Gift ideas include greening your wardrobe with a personal shopper, nature breaks, outdoor adventures, and even donations to charities such as Greenpeace. You can visit Nature’s World, go on a boat trip at Fairhaven, have a guided tour around an organic vineyard or treat someone to a luxury facial or body treatment. For something really special treat someone to a perfumery or nutrition weekend, an Indian head massage or have an hair stylist make you over at Jigami.
Giv’Organic experiences start at just £10 and gift vouchers ranging in value from £25 to £150.
The site is newly launched with new gifts and experiences added on a regular basis. There is an option to sign up for an email newsletter to receive regular information and offers. The company itself aims to be eco-friendly in all respects and is currently awaiting carbon neutral assessment. Recipients receive their gift vouchers and envelopes printed on recycled paper.
Precilia Godart, the brains behind Giv'Organic and a LWMB "member" would like to offer all members of LWMB a 10% discount code available until the 28th of February 2011. Just insert the code LWMB2011 to insert at the checkout.
Happy shopping!

SPARKLING!
A roomful of sparkling ladies attended the first LWMB meeting of the year which took place at Swarovski Crystallized on Thursday 20th January.
The bubbly flowed, the food was delicious, the company was wonderful and our guest speaker, Julia Macmillan, gave a fantastic talk about her experience in setting up her internet business, Toyboy Warehouse. Of course, for those interested in learning how to find a toyboy, there was ample time for a chat with Julia after her talk!!
Julia is a former fashion designer and artist, and began Toyboy Warehouse following a successful art commission, having discovered that she couldn't find what she was looking for on "traditional" dating websites. From starting the site with open source software, and a group of friends as her members, she has now grown the business to a point where she is talking to investors and is about to launch internationally. The ideas that Julia used in growing her business can be readily applied to most businesses - find a unique name that gets people talking; in addition to contacting newspapers etc, build relationships with freelance journalists so that they call upon you as an "expert" in your field; ensure you have a targetted (not Adwords) Facebook campaign if you have a digital business; offer added value eg. Julia now has a VIP section, hosts member events and a dining society and is planning to launch an online game.
Thank you Julia for giving your time to share your experiences with us.
Congratulations to those of you who won a raffle prize - we hope you enjoy making use of the gifts on offer which ranged from a £100 Jaeger voucher, a bottle of Bollinger Champagne, to a relaxing floatation session, a massage treatment and a £500 voucher to spend at a hair & beauty salon. And a special thanks to Cory Cook who offered half a day of her services in time management or organising your life. Your generous donations mean that we raised £110 pounds for the charity Childreach.
Thanks are also due to our photographer for the evening. You may have noticed Claire Swindale clicking away in the room. Claire is an experienced photographer who has worked with such brands as Revlon, and we were delighted to have her with us on the evening. Her photos of the evening are now on our gallery, and there is a separate blogpost about Claire with further details of her work, her special offer to LWMB and an invitation to her "meet the artist" day at her exhibition in March.
And finally, a thank you to Carrie and all at Swarvoski Crystallized who were wonderful to work with. Several women in the room disappeared downstairs to the shop during the evening returning with a Swarvoski Crystallized bagful of goodies. And who can blame them, with a 70% sale, or the LWMB 15% discount on non-sale goods to take advantage of!!
Thank you to all of our guests who made the evening so successful. We hope you enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you again soon.
