Another week done and dusted!

Our newest member, William Neal managed to bag the Oscar and wine by giving the best 60 second pitch.

Well done, Will!

If you’re new to BNI, you may be asking, “what’s the 60 second speech..?”

At the heart of the BNI meeting is the "60 Second Speech" slot. This is each member's opportunity to tell everyone at the meeting all about their business, the kind of leads they are looking for, and anything at all that will help the other members generate business for them.

60 seconds may seem to be the briefest of speeches, but BNI have developed a system to harness the power of this format, and regularly organise free training workshops to allow the members to develop their presentations, introducing techniques such as the memory hook, and effective ways to ensure that the message is remembered.

This system has immense practical benefits outside BNI, where in in real-life networking situations, the BNI member is trained to be able to give an instant and concise account of what they do.

BABY LOVE STORIES // I asked Dayna Rose's daddy to share his baby love story with me....

💌What words would you use to describe how you feel about your newborn
baby💌
It is the beginning of an exciting journey not just for us, but for
Dayna-Rose too. We have long awaited the arrival of our daughter and she
was just perfect so to have the opportunity to win the new born photoshoot
and capture the precious moments was almost as perfect as her which we will
forever cherish the experience and photos.

💌 Tell me about the little things that make unique - how would you
describe your baby's little character💌

Dayna-Rose is just perfect in every way from her little giggles to her soul
gazing eyes. Now only 4 weeks old she has so much potential and is growing
so fast already.

💌How has your baby enhanced your life ?💌

Dayna-Rose has added to our family in such a lovely way, our family is now
complete as how can you improve on perfection.

💌Tell me about your newborn photography experience?💌

It was such an amazing experience, very relaxed and professional. All the
photos we wanted were captured and presented in a heart warming slide show
with a beautiful song playing which will stay with us for a lifetime. We
can not wait to see our final photos to re-live this moment over and over
again.
