Roko York, 10th October

"Joining MPWR is the best thing I've done for my business this year. There's zero icky networking and full-on girl power camaraderie. I've been a member for 4 months now and I feel like I've made friends as well as contacts, from co-working together and swapping goal planning hacks over cuppas to talking about real life, the MPWR community is so down-to-earth and up-lifting."

This months masterclass for members to watch on demand is delivered by transformation coach Karen Smith.

The Illusion of Control - Exploring the connection between Burnout and Unrealistic Expectations

"In this masterclass I talk about a common issue faced by high performing professional women, the need to control everything in their lives from their business or working career to their relationships with those closest to them.

I explore the reasons behind why some women feel this need to control, such as the desire for success, fear of failure, and the need for validation.

I explain how this need for control can lead to stress and anxiety, affecting their mental and physical well-being."

See you later Jackie Crawford Image Consultant. Great post full of dressing tips! Thank you 😊

Networking!

The word that has many running to the hills! I have posted about this before but since I am returning to amazing Women’s Business Group MPWR Business Club today, I thought it appropriate to highlight.

It’s hardly surprising since a first impression is made in the blink of an eye, our visual impression and personal brand matters!

Think of it as a positive learning opportunity that can open some doors and opportunities. It's simply a way for you to grow your business to be visible and make new connections. You may even solve a problem or two!

I happen to really enjoy meeting new people, learning about them and their businesses, but totally appreciate how for many, it can be tricky.

We may also have adopted a more casual dressing style 😊.

Let me help you with a few top tips that may ease you into a more ‘network confident’ frame of mind.

👗 Dress in something that makes you feel comfortable. You will be less inclined to wriggle or fidget. Your clothes should be an extension of YOU and should support your personal brand.

👗 Be approachable and memorable. This is where both your personal presentation and your body language matters in equal parts. Wearing colour here makes a big difference! 😉

👗 Having good eye contact and good posture are indicators that you are engaged and interested.

👗 Remember to smile 😀. It will put you at ease and those around you. People enjoy being with happy people.

Above all, people remember how you make them feel, so be natural, be yourself.

Are you like me, you love a good networking opportunity or are you a little daunted by it?

If you are networking today, I can’t wait to see you again.

Oh if you wanted to learn more about membership of MPWR, I’ve popped the link below.

Colours . Clothes . Confidence

Does public speaking make you feel awkward?

Approximately 75% of people experience anxiety around speaking in front of a group, making it one of the most common phobias around.

Join us Tuesday 18th April where we will be joined by expert Claire Cutler-Casey to learn how to feel better about speaking in public.

This session is crammed with hints, tips and useful stuff you can use to help you on your way - helping people to share their story is part of Claire’s passion.

Happy International Women's day 2022!

To celebrate, I wanted to share a bonus expert Q&A with you all about The Mental Load. I recorded it last week and it seemed like a great topic to explore when we are thinking about how we

As women we carry a HUGE mental load. We tend to take on so many roles and wear so many hats in life that it can become really overwhelming. Even more so when you run your own business too.

In this bonus expert Q&A I chat with Lisa Florit - ALTO. Lisa is a coach specialising in working with women in leadership positions.

She has first hand experience of both a senior corporate career and balancing the rest of life. Plus, she is now a micro business owner herself, a one woman band, who can relate to the mental load we carry with us.

We chat about some real life experiences with mental load. How as women we are the CEO of our home (hands up if you're the one who is the knower of all things too)

Lisa explains why we carry the mental load we do and shares some fantastic practical tips on how we can start to manage it.

We cover:

- what is the 'Mental Load'

- why do I feel so responsible for everything?

- how do I get others in my household to do their fair share without it ending a row?

- if I’m overwhelmed how do I know what to delegate or just stop doing altogether?

Head over to our Facebook Community to watch the vid. A little bonus gift for you this
