Think women and mums networking is just about drinking coffee and chatting. Think again…
Drum and Dance for Wellbeing and Energy
This month, our Reading and Basingstoke groups enjoyed wellness activities that invigorated and energized. Reading’s Drumming for Wellbeing was a fantastic icebreaker, while Basingstoke’s dance workshop helped attendees stay high-spirited and ready to tackle business challenges.
Managing the Juggle: Priorities, Business and Social Media
Managing business and personal life, especially in summer, is no easy feat. South Aberdeenshire The Mearns tackled goal-setting, while Wokingham and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole focused on prioritising business needs and social media. MIB Newbury and Newton Abbot sharpened their social media strategies, and Stacey Brown in Bedford Milton Keynes showed how ChatGPT can save time. In Romford Ilford, we discussed confidently showing up on social media and avoiding analysis paralysis.
Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, Healthy Business
Our Cambridge group hosted a workshop on mental health and resilience, focusing on understanding stress and building coping strategies highlightin the importance of mental well-being for business success. Meanwhile, Somerset and West Dorset combined business talk with a fun activity—making salad in a jar! This underscored the importance of nutrition in maintaining a healthy mind and body. Edinburgh City members also discussed how different life stages, like peri/menopause really impact our businesses .
Financial Finesse to Fashionable Flourishes
In Peterborough, we got a money makeover from a guest speaker who emphasized that accounting and bookkeeping aren’t just for crunching numbers—they’re essential for smart decision-making and long-term success. Meanwhile, in Kidderminster, we delved into how to attract and keep financial abundance, proving that understanding money is just the start. And in Hastings, we took a stylish turn, exploring how the colours and clothes we choose can make a significant impact on our business interactions and success. From mastering finances to dressing for success, July was all about blending practical tips with a splash of flair!
The Guest Speaking Opportunity
July’s events showcased the vibrant and diverse nature of our MIB community. A huge thank you to all our guest speakers who shared their expertise with our members! However, not every event features a guest speaker. Some are purely member-led, offering valuable time for business discussions and group support. In July, leaders in Gran Canaria and Bury St Edmunds provided just this, creating spaces for members to showcase their businesses and foster deeper connections.
