⭐ The cheek of this woman!

You couldn't make it up!

So, apparently, she'll invite you to become part of a community of women who are actually interested in you and your business. Imagine that!

And, supposedly, they'll get to know you, share ideas, make introductions AND look for opportunities to help you grow. They might even introduce you to your next brilliant client, referral partner or collaborator. The nerve!

She also claims they'll celebrate your wins, cheer you on when things get tricky and genuinely want to see you succeed. I mean, seriously!?!

And here's the REALLY outrageous bit. She expects you to do the same for them! Apparently, networking is supposed to involve giving as well as receiving. Who knew?!

She'll even encourage you to meet women from other groups, learn how to network more effectively and build relationships beyond your own local community. As if you haven't got enough cheerleaders already!

Honestly. Who needs all those connections, opportunities, support and friendships?

Would not recommend... unless you fancy growing your business and having a brilliant bunch of women in your corner. 🤣

Imagine if just ONE conversation could transform your business (and your life)

I'm a living example of how one conversation can completely change EVERYTHING!

From Baker and reluctant networker to confident group leader.

One conversation in March 2016 changed my life forever.

Not just from a professional perspective, but who I am is completely different to who I was.

And I will always be grateful for having the courage to jump in and give it a go!

One conversation. A heap of determination. And a HUGE dollop of support.

And ALL from my Athena tribe!

Ready to take a leap of faith? Dive in - we've got you!

Anna 😘

"Are you starting out in business, or looking at finding a networking group that suits you? Athena might be your answer. I've been a member of Anna's groups for many years - and can honestly say that my business would look very differently without being part of this fabulous group!! Contact Anna for more info - she'll love to chat"

Well, I were looking for words to encourage visitors to our groups, I could do worse than use Chrissie's! 😉

Chrissie joined Athena in 2018 and then joined a second group in June 2019 - she loved it that much! She's our resident Utility Warehouse partner and she's FAB! Her customer service is second to none, and she's the least pushy saleswoman I know.

One thing Chrissie truly values about Athena is that it's online. It's meant that although she now lives on the coast, her membership is unaffected and she's stayed in the community she loves.

If her words have given you a nudge to give us a try, drop me a line and I'll invite you to a meeting as my guest (or we can grab a cuppa and chat more)

Posting again in case you haven't seen it...

Do you want the good news or the bad news?

OK, I'll give you both!

The good news is that I’ve finally been given a date for my long-awaited foot surgery… 28 October! 🎉

The bad news? It’s just SIX days after my in-person networking event on 22 October, so I’ve had to make the rather frustrating decision to postpone our event 😕

After waiting over a year for this op, I really don’t want to risk inadvertently picking up the horrible strain of Covid that's doing the rounds, (or any other seasonal bug for that matter) and potentially finding myself back on the waiting list.

Much as I hate being a killjoy, I have to put my sensible hat on, even though I'd far rather be wearing the fun one 😆

I’ll be pretty immobile for several weeks afterwards*, which sadly means I can’t just push the event back a week or two, so I’m planning for the next one for early February.

If you booked a ticket, you’ll receive a full refund, including booking fees.

I really hope you’ll join us in February - I was looking forward to meeting you, and I’d love to finally introduce you to the other brilliant attendees. The booking link will be available soon.

Thank you for understanding.
Anna 😊

As I've recently experienced, joining an established group of women can be a bit daunting, can't it?

In fact, it can be very easy not to join, just in case you feel unwelcome.

We don't know who's who, everyone else seems to know each other, and we wonder where we're ever going to fit in.

That's not how Athena feels. I promise.

When a new woman joins us, we're genuinely curious about her. We want to know what she does, what makes her tick and what brought her along. We'll introduce her to other members, ask questions, bring her into conversations and make sure she's not left feeling like an outsider.

Of course friendships form in our community, but those friendships keep opening the circle wider.

So, if you've been wondering whether you'll be welcome somewhere everyone already knows each other...

You can be assured we'll make room for you.

And before long, you might be the one making room for someone new and getting the warm, fuzzy feeling that brings 🥰

IN PERSON networking event on Thursday 22 October!

This time we're hosting at Tres Corazones in Wendover - and we can't wait to see you!

Tickets are £20 for visitors (£10 for Athena members) which includes tea/coffee, pastries and a donation to Chilterns Neuro Centre, our collaborative partner.

Open to all, please do come along to meet a mix of our members and other local businesses (men and women welcome to this collaborative event)

And I absolutely promise, no pitch slapping or arm twisting to join our network - it really will just be a warm welcome and morning of conversations and community building.

Hope to see you there!
Anna 😊

👩‍🎓Business Development Training👩‍🎓

No, I don't mean an extended sales pitch where we all squirm a little and anticipate the "and this is how you sign up to work with me" slide and try not to look at the screen or catch the speaker's eye.

I mean a training session that will support your personal or business development. A talk where the presenter has thought about the women in the room and written something they can all take a little something from.

And in October, across all our groups, the incredibly generous Alice Whitehead, Baked by Alice Louisa, is presenting on Progress Boards.

Because Vision Boards are one thing, but how can you stay motivated on the way to your goals?

Alice has BIG dreams for her business and yours. She's previously shared her love of Vision Boards with our groups, now she's sharing how a Progress Board can help us stay on track and motivated.

If you're curious about this topic and also want to find out how being part of our kind, supportive, inspiring and all round stupendous women's business network could support you can you and your business, drop me a line to book your seat at one of our meetings!
