Networking doesn't have to be dull and boring! It's also about having fun whilst working.

Motivating. Energetic. Helpful.

Just three words I’d use to describe our Bristol Business Focus Networking meetings this morning.

Our guest speaker was Nicky Davies who talked to us about ‘How to start working with corporates.’ She shared so many simple tips that we can all use to progress our businesses to work more with corporate companies, especially as so many of us have a corporate background.

Today we didn’t do our business focus session. Instead we focused on our greatest achievement so far in 2022 and goal setting. So many awesome achievements and challenging targets.
