Well I have done a bit of networking in my time but in the last 7-8 months having left the work force and pretty much been flying solo I feel so out of touch. So when I entered those rooms having signed up for 2 full days of a weekend the first thought that went through my mind was what have I done? I was very nervous but determined to make the most of it. I am a positive kind of person and keen to make the most of everything (clearly I need to filter and assess situations faster because at times I volunteer to do some a bizzar things) so when in the early part of the day the presenter asked for 6 people to stand up I did. I had no idea how nervous I ‘d be to stand in front of people. This is one fear I thought I had concurred.
As the day progressed and more women started speaking I was charmed. It was not just about business it was about the person who happens to be running business or following what ever passion at this moment in their life wanting to connect with like minded women who think that life is a journey and not a destination. Well I felt at home. I related to one or two speakers better than others. I bought their books learnt some of their tricks of just how to over come the struggles sometimes face us all and joined the group for ongoing camaraderie and support. It was marvellous and I know there’s a lot more valuable lessons to be learnt from this group of women.
