I don't see competition, only collaboration 🫶🏼

Sure, yeah, when I played various sports 🐎🏉⛹🏼‍♀️🏏🎽 competitively growing up, it was ALL about winning and yes, of course it feels good to get a deal over the line but nowadays I'm more about working WITH others for the greater good 🫶

Last week I finally had an opportunity to GO networking - these days I run at least one event pw so as you can imagine, opportunities to go are rare.
I love networking. Always have!
Started in my late teens....did a bit through my 20s/30s then hit the accelerator in my mid 30s. I've not regretted a single event.

Christine Hall runs a fortnightly lunch (has done for 20yrs!!!) and Mark Lye CIWFM, MCIPS is the Chairman of the Doyle Club, who have a monthly meet-up.

Their two sessions were back-to-back in the City of London and I managed to attend both events and even got a pic with Christine & Mark! 📸

Both of their communities are designed for the Construction, Property & Facilities Management industries.
I attended their events representing Accord Consulting who provides finance software into those industries as well as the Distribution, NFP & Financial Services sectors.

If you're interested in seeing how Accord Consulting can help your business implement Sage Intacct, Inc., streamlining your entire finance department (+ more), send me a DM to arrange a demo.

I'm lucky enough to have lots of great contacts who run their own networking events.
I recommend their events to my network before I started my own events 2 yrs ago, and still do now 🤜🤛

I have no issues with people attending as many events as they like - so long as everyone is making new business contacts (and making friends along the way 😊) and signing contacts when the time's right, ensuring our economy keeps ticking over...that's all that matters 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks for being such fun 🤩

As I mentioned earlier this week, Woko-Loco comes to an end in Aug so I can concentrate on the growth of Padel Partners Networking & my amazing clients: Accord Consulting, RiskHQ, Trapeze Media & Allin1 Advisory.

The next London based event is on Thursday 2nd July - watch this space for details of the London finale. Hope to see lots of you there!🥳

All events in London & Berkshire can be found here in my bio

Have a fabulous weekend!

Ok, this is getting a little out of control now! 😄

Especially as I'm running 4 additional events, attending a few myself and obviously can't clone myself (yet)!

The growth of Padel Partners Networking is bonkers!
Thanks to our incredible ambassadors, who are taking the rein in a few locations, we're able to open in brand new locations across the country - St Albans & Northampton are new this month with more being announced soon 👏🏼

After 2 years, I'm going to start winding down Woko-Loco Networking (aka Pub Networking) with the final event happening in August (date/location TBC) but there are events in June & July to take advantage of between now and then.
The end of an era!

Looking forward to seeing lots of you in Waterloo, St Albans, Wokingham & Tunbridge Wells 🎾☀️🍹

Details to book tickets are in my bio and my DMs are open for any questions 💬

Cheers!

I love seeing people grow! 🌱🌻😍

Melissa is only a few months into her Marketing & Events career and last week I had the pleasure of taking her out in the City of London for her first ever venue viewing day 🏙️

We visited three iconic venues and stopped for lunch in one of the best people-watching spots in town! 😎

What a way to cut your tooth on this incredible industry 🙌🏼
One I've been part of for 25 years!

Like me, Melissa has a huge passion for sport so it was such a joy chatting about both work 👩🏼‍💻📈 and play 🎾⚽

📸 Can you guess where our final venue viewing of the day was?
IYKYK!

We're working on something very special for Accord Consulting!

Finance Leaders...watch this space! 👀
