Women in Business – Passion & Inspiring women @ International Confex 2009

From The Seminar at International Confex 2009

With Jacqui Kavanagh @ Trinity Conferences

Women in Business – Passion and inspiring women

Introduce by Jacqui Kavanagh (the Presenter):

Her Background: She was a director of sale for company hotel but now she’s a Business Owner and works a lots online. She’s start from scratch again as she had a problem with her business associate. Clear vision, customer focus, getting to make your message out there via internet but a clear and easy message for everyone,

Ruth carter:

An important thing is passion, not want a pathologic fear of failure, tenacity.

Her Background: from exhibitions to events. She was an average manager so she did decide to be freelance, from scratch she brought (25 millions) with international business then took control of her destiny. If you think are you in the right job then its time to move. Work for (EMAP) force for few years then start again from scratch, if you think you are a women in business its bad as is people in business. Now she successful,

Mandy Jennings @ Principle Hayley,
We should be proud as women in business, we shouldn’t make difference between man and women but congratulate yourself for being there.
Her Background: work in hotel, after few years of trainings, work as a chambermaid. Then move to reception and events, then to events and sales. She like the deal, negotiation, engaging with people, now as a sale director and enjoy watching people and relationship growing.

Sarah Jones MD @ Trinity Events,

It is about what you want to do in business and not about man and women.

Her Background: left school at 15. Few jobs to start then because she always knew she wanted to work for herself. She started to do events freelance. Sold everything she had then started her own business. What make you tick, what make you getting out of bed and inspired you every day. It’s great to have your own business and it’s good to have your own coach to help you along. Being a bit selfish as you have only one life, be passionate and you can achieve a lot.

Izania Downie @ Eventia,

Her Background:

She left school at 15. Being made redundant twice from sale, she got advice from mentor but she was bullied by female boss to keep her on the job and stop her progressing. Don’t be afraid to make decision even bad one as fares are you going head. Having coach is good. You got to be relevant, you have to be real. She educates herself to the board director. Took some course and then feel empower to achieve more. More opportunity will come. Women are good with creation but they need to know more of finance to get more rounded skills. She a perfectionist and think you need to be to succeed. Be true to yourself.

My comments:

It was a very Inspiring event and it’s not finish, is still going for 2 days so I advice anyone to go and participate to these highly interesting Seminar where you can meet some very inspiring ladies.

The Power of Now

I was in discussion with one of my good friends Ben today and we got onto the subject of taking time out. As we live in London in the UK, its a very fast city. It is so easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of everything.

Sometimes when there is so much going on it is great to focus on the MOMENT, second by second. The author Eckhart Tolle who wrote the actual book the Power of Now recommends going into your senses..for example feel the texture of the clothes you are wearing, stare out the window at any nature you can, breathe and close your eyes…

I have a tendency to go at the speed of light so reading and APPLYING Eckart’s philosophies are challenging but rewarding to a hyperactive adult like myself! In my experience, when I have taken that time out and NOT THOUGHT.

Then many of the answers I needed pop in or at least – I feel totally refreshed when I get back to my PC!!!

So whever you are, whatever you are doing….remember to use YOUR Power of Now…

Brighton and Hove Property Event

Last week I has the pleasure of supporting Jo Rose and Julian Sonnessa in the Launch of the Brighton and Hove Property Event. A new monthly meeting for Property Investors who want to network, support each other and share important investing information.

Nicola Cairncross from the Money Gym was the main speaker and gave some excellent secrets away of how to boost your property business on line, including getting your own blog and specifically going for a membership site!

There were also 8 other open mic speakers including Raj Shastri who will be next months guest speaker. It was a great evening surrounded by likeminded entrepreneurs and investors and I look forward to helping out next month too!

Congratulations Jo and Julian on founding a useful, fun and professional network!
