Rachel hosted a business advice booth on Marketing and PR and spoke to some fantastic people about their businesses. Emma Austin our fantastic new student was a great help.
Emma worked the crowd in her morph PR T- shirt, a brave girl!. She also did a great job setting up our booth and networking with potential customers. She then had to wizz off to do a presentation on her dissertation!
My first session of the day was with the dynamic Gill from Butlers 2 go a naked butlers service! This was a welcome start to my day and as Lisa Sturge, of Laughterlines Coaching would say, a very healthy one. Gill is great fun but has a fantastic business head, which I'm sure you'll agree is a winning combination.
I must say I was blown away by the energy of Deborah from Talk Eczema and Pure and Simple Skincare, she is an absolute dynamo and I am looking forward to working more with her and her team. She is currently looking for Party Planner so if you know anyone get in touch with me and I'll pass your details on.
I met Naomi Lloyd who runs a photography business in Southsea and has 2 boys of an identical age to my own. She is doing a cracking job of keeping her business smoothly and keeping her busy family happy. I can't wait to start helping her revamp her website.
I met loads of other fab people as well, but didn't get their permission to blog about them so we'll keep stum for the moment and update you when we can.
The only downside was a lot of my existing friends and colleagues didn't find me as I was in the furthest back corner behind a healthy a safety banner, so lessons taken from the event are: have a bigger banner than the man next to you and make sure you get there early to get a good pitch. But hey I had a great day and did my best, and really that's all anyone can do.
Enjoy your weekend!
