Online business networking with Felicity Dwyer 10th April 2025

Where do you go for inspiration and support as a small business owner? You could try this online business networking session with Felicity Dwyer. Felicity is a learning and development specialist and one of her areas of expertise is the facilitation of meetings, so this is always a well-run, productive meeting.

Agenda

This month our speaker is Jill Aburrow whose is “Contingency Planning and why you need a plan”

You’ll have time for some informal conversations with other attendees in break out rooms and there’ll be some ‘get to know you’ activities to enable you to make connections with your fellow attendees.

You may have seen that we have ditched the one minute pitch. We’ll find other, more engaging, ways for you to introduce your business. This month we’re asking you to ‘Introduce your business in one sentence and three bullet points’. This is inspired by Todd Unger author of ‘The 10 second customer journey.’ See this article if you need some inspiration.

Everyone is welcome. We don’t operate professional lockouts, there’s no pressure to refer and no attendance rules. Our members belong to the community not a specific group. We encourage people to get to know each other and to find ways to support each other on our business journeys. Visitors are welcome to try us out at three events before making a decision about joining.

Please book by clicking ‘Going’ so that we can send you the Zoom link the evening before the meeting.
