When Philippa Girling reaches outside her network to fund her entrepreneurial vision for Camp Chateau, she struggles to gain traction with her compelling message of female empowerment and inclusivity.

"It's getting to the meeting. Once we have a video meeting, the response is about the same. It's getting that initial meeting that's the bigger challenge." Philippa Girling

Philippa Girling is the CEO of Camp Chateau, a startup business offering inclusive spaces for women and other genders. She has travelled widely, has a PhD in Risk Management and experience in banking and tech companies. 

In part 2 of Philippa's interview, she was curious about what was happening when she was reaching out to people outside of her personal network because suddenly what was working, wasn't working as well. 

In this episode, you will hear Una coaching Philippa on: 

1. What's happening when you're reaching out to people outside your personal network and they're coming back with objections or no response? 

2. What was missing from Philippa's Linkedin strategy - and some quick fixes? 

3. What strategies can Philippa use to create an effective sales process and build trust and relationships with potential customers who are currently strangers?

This newfound knowledge has given Philippa the confidence to reach more people and make a bigger impact in the world.

Discover the power of resilience, creativity, and pivoting in a new world when you follow one woman's journey from playground bullies to LA Law to CEO of Camp Chateau.

"Plan B is always better than plan A, and quite often plan C is better still." Philippa Girling

Philippa Girling is a CEO of Camp Chateau, a summer camp for women in the south of France. She had a mixed childhood growing up in Surrey and Essex, and has lived in England, America, and Singapore. She is a problem solver and a strategic thinker, and is passionate about creativity and innovation.

1. How did Philippa adjust to different environments and social groups as she moved between different societies in England and America?

2. How did her experiences with bullying as a child shape her outlook and career path?
