Networking is the key to growing your business. Connecting with people is the most effective way to gain new ideas, new partners and to promote your company. Networking breaks down barriers by showing people the human side of your business.
One of my great passions in life is networking and connecting people. My entire 30 year career has been built around it.
During that time I have enjoyed 15 years in PR and Marketing working for PR companies where clients have included Tina Turner and The Rolling Stones. I was involved with the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday tribute at Wembley Stadium, the tennis tournament at London Arena with John McEnroe as well as being as account executive for the New London Orchestra and working with the Aldeburgh Foundation.
My career then took a completely different direction in to the legal world and in 2000 I became a property lawyer which I found very rewarding as most of my clients have become friends.
My experience has taught me that you have to be positive and surround yourself with positive people; see opportunities for what they are and grab them with both hands. You can succeed…all you need is belief.
I run the very successful pro-active West Suffolk business networking group in Bury St Edmunds for Women in Rural Enterprise www.wireuk.org
This is a positive group of women gaining knowledge, ideas and expertise whilst building confidence, enthusiasm and motivation keeping them one step ahead of their competitors.
This is taking networking to another level. So often a successful meeting happens by pure chance in the networking arena – you never know who or where you are going to meet someone who will be vital to your business. I can change that. Just tell me who you want to meet, or if you are unsure, I can make suggestions from my extensive database and arrange the meeting.
