International Women’s Day: Brave, Bold & Bonkers – bring it back!

IWD see’s a return of our special extended meeting Brave, Bold & Bonkers. It was such a hit last year, we thought we’d bring it back! There will be FOUR guest speakers:

Brave: Michelle Ovens, MBE & National Campaign Director for Small Business Saturday, leeds the way with why she’s made ‘Brave’ her moto for 2016

Bold: Helene Jewell, of Jewell Facilitation, gets us thinking with how we can make our bold intentions, with her interactive workshop.

Bonkers: Fiona Scott; journalist, media consultant and tv producer/director. Mum of 3, step-mum of one, a wife and has spent far too much time convincing people that her career is not a ‘hobby’. She started her own business aged 42 and has become steadily more bonkers. Fiona has created a company which now provides work to other freelancers and testifies to the fact that it is possible to have a family, spend time with your children and have a fulfilling career.

If that’s not enough- The Entrepreneurs Godmother & Regional Champion from Enterprise Nation aka Alison Edgar, sends us out on a high with From Zero to Sales Hero! How being brave, bold & bonkers can make your business happen!

Ticket price is £17, which includes booking fee & most importantly lunch, which has kindly been provided from Pieminster Pies. Pie & Mash for every one! Women from every stage in life are invited to this special meeting, including women without children. As always, children are always warmly welcomed & will be kept entertained with art adventures from SeeingSticks & play time stories with Brave Bold Drama.
