Online business networking with Felicity Dwyer 12th September 2024

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.

This month our speaker is HR Consultant and our Basingstoke Group Leader, Dawn Packham.

There’ll be 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. Each month we have a different theme to keep our introductions fresh and to enable us to get to know more about each other.

In September we’d like you to introduce your business in one sentence and then share one brief business or life tip that showcases your expertise.

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.

This online session is FREE.
