A BIG thank you to Michele Hart who gave us all some food for thought and useful hints on how to generate some PR for our businesses and the importance of having a clear strategy and message we want to get across to stakeholders. It was obvious from the subsequent feedback and conversations that many of us feel we lack the confidence and assertivenes required to actually generate some of this PR. To help overcome this, Tracy from Elianna Leadership Coaching has kindly agreed to run a couple of sessions for us on how we can all improve. We'll come back to you with dates ASAP and, be warned, the sessions will include some 'audience participation' so watch this space! Tracy also highlighted that some funding may be available from Train2000 which we'll follow up on and keep you advised.
Kul mentioned that she will be appearing on Canalside Radio on 8 October and will take the opportunity to promote Happy Mondays which is great news. I'll also follow up with her contact there so see if there are any other ways we can get Happy Mondays members involved.
We don't have a speaker for the next couple of meetings (but places are still available for our Wine & Speaker evening on 22 October so book your space & tell your friends) but we thought it would be useful if we all brought along samples of any marketing material we have e.g. cards, flyers etc and we can all provide feedback to each other on what we like, don't like etc? We'll also bring along a couple of laptops so we can look at some websites too and identify useful and relevant links. Personally, I think this will be a really useful exercise as it's always great to have other peoples' views on what we're doing.
Finally, I just wanted to welcome Victoria from Bon Bon Blue and Nicky from Interiors-tides.co.uk who both came along for the first time today.
