We then caught up with our book of the week recommended by Chris, and how he personally used this book to help gather tools on how to get out of addiction.

Case studies are a fantastic sales tool, especially if you do something people have trouble understanding.

Today we were joined by Sarah Dillingham from Case Study Ninja giving valuable insights to how to build and use case studies in your business.

We started the show off with Kelly Culver, giving us some helpful tips and tools to how you can manage your social conversions from Instagram. Followed by our tool and book of the week which you can find more on our Twitter and the website http://www.thewomeninbusinessradioshow.com

It's been a very valuable show on how you can correctly prepare and use case studies. Not only were there some valuable tips, but Sarah gave us her formula for creating case studies - it's little trickier than you might think, but the effort really pays off.

On today’s show, we had Angela Gower-Johnson, Business Energy Strategist from Ultimate Dream Project, and boy was it a whale of a show!

At the start, we were discussing some marketing campaign ideas for February (February is rife with holidays!) and about organisation. Did you know that if we spend 10 minutes each day looking for something, we spend 60 hours per YEAR looking for things?

For the rest of the show, we were chatting with Angela about Alpha and Beta brain states and how you can get yourself into the right state for optimum performance.

This isn’t magic “woo woo” stuff, it’s been backed by science! Listen to the show now to learn how you can become the best you for your business.

If you think you should be meditating, but can't seem to make that happen, this show is for you!

On today’s show, we were joined by Kathryn Colas, menopause expert, giving us some mature insights to symptoms and her experience whilst going through it. Laura, our co-host of the show also gave us a #ToolOfTheWeek called LyteSpark, it is like Skype just with a few extra features that you can use to interact with clients or business partners.

Book of the week was recommended by Katheryn and it is “Be Gender Smart” by Inge Woudstra. It is essentially a guide for both genders to help understand the different issues both genders faces and how to go about it.

We learnt a lot about how menopause can affect not only your personal but workplace life. Some of the main symptoms are forgetfulness, being confused and cross more than usual but overall quite depressed. If you are suffering, Katheryn suggests a great way to start getting help is by recognising and this and talking about it, especially if it’s people in the workplace. Accept you need a break and take one step at a time.

Tabitha is a PR and marketing assistant for who won awards less than a year, after starting her business back in March 2015.

Kelly shares some inspirational Start Up quotes provided by listeners and insights to free or low-cost online business tools.

We end the show with some informative small business marketing tips which you can take away and use to help grow your own brand and business.

Why would you want to enter business awards? If you're thinking this is a damn stupid question as the answer has just got to be to win - then you might want to think again.

Plus of course we tap into her wisdom as a woman in business
