Although I never think it's blog worthy, it's what I do most of the time: work. Somedays I love it, others I hate it, but am I always very very grateful to have my job here at Connect Midlands. So today I thought I would share a work first - my first ever event - organised by ME!
The slightly blah blah bit of the story is that I was asked to set up an event that would introduce female business owners in the region to a new investment fund which they could potentially apply to. Ladies event, I thought. April afternoon. Hmmmm.
Most business events, for those who don't know are pretty predictable. Hired rooms in conference centres or hotels where attendees get a good dose of power point before networking over a buffet. But this was going to be a ladies event, organised by a lady. I thought it might be time to try somthing new.
The result was that we booked Beaumanor Hall, in Woodhouse Eaves, a lovely stately home in rural Leicestershire. It was an afternoon tea and cakes networking event, and as you can see the venue even broke out their best china. Everyone commented on how "Lovely" it was.
I also got over my nerves and presented for the company for the first time. Not that I was nervous before, I was just never asked to speak before. So there I am.
Work, perhaps not the most interesting topic to some. But it was inevitable seeing as I'm there 5 out of 7.
Toodles.

Hey! I loved reading about your work! I only know about the world of teaching, so it's fascinating for me to hear what goes on out there!

It looks like you did awesome with the event planning as well as giving your presentation! Great job! What a beautiful location too. Our love to you both!! xoxo
How very Pride and Prejudice of you. It does look lovely, too.. I want to bring Arthur to England so he can take over and become king. It makes sense if you think about it.
Looks great- I bet they all loved it.
