It tends to happen that hairdressers are the last to get their own hair cut, those working in retail the last to find the time to shop, the accountant the last to get on top of their own personal accounts and paperwork. You know how important it is to make time for these things, of course you do, it’s what you tell your clients. But your week is busy doing it for others, because that’s how you make a living, and making time to fit yourself in there is never a priority.

At everywoman we know a lot of things about how to grow a business. We know that building and maintaining a diverse network of contacts, consciously and proactively, will serve you well. Networking skills are a vital social currency. Business managers and leaders simply have to master these skills since they form an integral part of growing your organisation. People buy from people, so being able to build relationships with people that can make a positive difference to your business is critical. If you want to make a lasting impression, it’s essential to learn to network with charisma, in a way that will leave a lasting impact. Quite simply, building the right contacts in business results in more sales.

Like most business owners we meet, we also know that using technology efficiently and effectively can pay dividends to a small business. It can enable yourself and your employees to work remotely, being in constant touch with clients and instant contact with fellow team members. In our case, it means that we have been able to take on additional staff without having to move offices, as they can now hot-desk in the office and work from home when there’s no need for them to come into the city.

Like the hairdresser in need of a good cut and the accountant in need of a book-keeper, we resolved this year to think about ourselves when we looked at what events, seminars and workshops we put on this year. This is the year we resolve to become our own customer. So when we were able to secure Networking Guru John Donnelly to run a seminar on networking, we knew we had to attend it ourselves. On Wednesday 27 February, John will ‘blow the whistle’ on the world’s greatest business leaders, revealing the innovative techniques they use to get to who they want to get to and get there fast. He’ll be demonstrating how to be impactful and charismatic when meeting new contacts, how to develop confidence, clout and authority in unfamiliar settings. All the techniques used by the best.

If like us, you also always want to know what technology solutions you could, and should, be implementing in your business as it grows to ensure maximum efficiencies in your business, you too should come to this event. BT will be joining us to answer all questions you may have about what technology your business should be implementing and how it can underpin your networking strategy.

Check your diaries, and try and come along. This workshop is perfect for women who own, or are working in, a growing business. Women working in a male-dominated industry, such as construction, science, technology, sport and leisure will also benefit greatly from what John will teach you. If you’re serious about taking your career or business to the next level, you won't want to miss this – especially as we are able to waive the entire £295 cost. everywoman's exclusive one day workshop is especially designed to break down the myths of networking and provide you with tools and resources to meet the challenges of doing business in the 21st Century. Book you place today, this won’t be available for long, we’ve only got room for 50 delegates.
