The Women In Business Radio Show

We welcome Image Stylist Deborah Turner, the FSB (Federation of Small Businesses) Women's representative, and we get the lowdown on some interesting statistics about being a woman in business.

Of course, stats don't have to come true, but it's so interesting to get a heads up on some common issues being faced by women in business.

Deborah has recently been invited to No. 10 Downing street to advise on how the government can help more women to succeed in business.

In this episode, we are joined by Sarah Brown, a business advisor and pricing expert from Inspire2Aspire, who have worked with major corporates like BT, entrepreneurs and the public sector.

We cover how pricing is a combination of mindset, business, maths and business acumen.

Also in the studio is Dani Needham, a Personal Trainer, Gym Manager and health blogger. Dani was kind enough to let us use some of her pricing challenges as examples of how the tricky issue of pricing both products and services can be handled.

Today we welcomed Personal Trainer and health blogger Dani Needham into the studio to cover some of those questions we may have as women in business...

Is there a difference between men and women when it comes to keeping fit?

Is there a difference between keeping fit and being healthy?

How can you keep healthy as a 'deskbound' woman in business?

Plus, we found out about how Dani is using Facebook to rejuvenate a defunct Facebook page, and we even got a video of exercises you can do at your desk - even in a tight skirt!

Listen in to get the legal lowdown on using images and find out how to get free, inspiring and fab quality images to use for your business websites, articles and social media posts.

Images are so important in the business world of today. BUT - the big question is - are you legal? It's so easy to fall foul of copyright legislation, especially if you are a small business or entrepreneur without easy access to legal help.

But it doesn't have to be that tricky, and there are some stunning images available at truly affordable prices. RawPixel know the legal in's and out's but also produce amazing images.

Dealing with addiction, either yours or someone close to you, is never going to be easy.

It's particularly difficult when you are trying to juggle running a business whilst tackling an addiction.

What is particularly special is how Chris acknowledges the different types of addiction from alcohol, drugs through to food and sugar. All can have a major impact.

Tune in to hear Chris's story, how he wrote his book and his tips for dealing with addiction.

I think the title rather sets up the main thrust of the programme - and I am so grateful to Clara for how open and honest she is about her story tackling depression.

What she didn't say during the show was how she really wanted to help other people to deal with depression.

We also covered Instagram and other ideas for running a creative business.

It was tricky to pick a topic for this show as we covered so much. The bit on pricing was interesting so hang on in for that - but we get the book of the week, strategies and Facebook ideas from the get go!

Great to welcome KellyAnn back into the show for our first phone in interview in our new studio. It wasn't supposed to be a phone in mind you - but KellyAnn had kiddie problems and so we had to improvise.

We build that balancing act that parents go through into the mix of the show and keep an eye out at the end for the best branding resource I've heard in a long while.

Along the way we also delve into the why, what and how of running events to promote your business.

What I love is the experience behind all of this KellyAnn walks the walk for everything we talk about today - straight out of the horses mouth. What's the one actionable point you take out of the show?

KellyAnn Schiavo is a personal branding guru - and that's what we're calling her - she didn't give herself that label. So why am I calling her a guru - well I think it's rather fab when a Personal Branding specialist manages to hook a prestigious brand like Bentley into their stable!

In this hour long show we cover...

"The tricky business of melding your online and offline branding"...plus

"Are you making these 3 critical errors in your personal branding"?

You're sure to find at least a couple of actions you can take away and implement today - so grab a pen, paper and coffee (or maybe a glass of Cab Sav!) and settle down for an information packed episode.

It's tricky deciding how to describe this show because there is so much information shared by Tim. Highlights include a great example of how to use Snapchat for business, alongside LinkedIn tips for personal branding and how influencers can help you to sell your products and services.

This show is definitely for you if the thought of cold calling makes you feel sick, and you're wondering how on earth to market yourself and your business out there in the vast, sprawling and seemingly unruly land of online and Social Media .

What I love is that Tim walks the walk; this isn't pie in the sky stuff he's pulled together to plonk into a book or talk about - Tim has the real world experience, success and scars to back it all up. He wrote the book because he was qualified to do so, not because he could gather together the information to write a book!

Here's his more formal bio...
