Brighton Business Show

This month I was joined by Sue Dadak from The Depot, Lesley Cruickshank-Robb from Promedica24 and Beth Lewis from The Projects. I also played back a couple of my interviews from The Business Women Excellence Awards (David Guiel from Bishops Move and Gallia Orme from Choc Chick).

In this month's show we discussed finding your voice and being authentic with Sally Garrozzo from Inspiring Talks and Lisa Moore from Fit For Moore. The Going Up slot featured Gemma Hope from Family Law Partners and Kirsti Cox from Kirsti Cox Wealth Management. Gemma and Kirsti are collaborating with me on a future project and are passionate about helping people to have a plan to get control of financial and legal aspects of life and minimise damage to business and the stress of going through divorce and separation. Caroline Matanle was next, from the charity Whoopsadaisy. She explained how businesses and individuals can get involved and how we can help to fundraise or even volunteer to spend some time helping with the children, which gives parents some much-needed time off. My last Guest was Cat Harris, whose company Baby To Boardroom assists parents entering the workplace again after time out to have children. The show was sponsored by Lisa Moore from Fit For Moore.

My guests this month were:

 Nicky Chisholm and Suzie Pitman from the Mumpreneurs Networking Club (who also sponsored the show), They talked about getting inspired, winning awards and the importance of setting yourself a challenge. 

Sophie Thwaites, Alison Grimston were in our Going Up section. Sophie talked about helping children with learning difficulties to thrive and Alison (or Doctor Allie), as she is also known, discussed her work helping women through the Peri-Menopause, menopause and beyond.

My final guest was Graham Allcott from Think Productive, who told us how to be a Productivity Ninja and how to free up your time, energy and thoughts for what's really important.
