Following a break when my previous group, which had run for five years, came to a natural conclusion and some lifelong, supportive friendships had been made I realised that once again I was working with a number of dynamic women at director/owner level in local SME businesses across a broad range of sectors. Following some introductory, informal sessions to get to know each other eight people committed to a monthly ‘action learning’ session sharing opportunities and challenges with people in similar positions. One of the great things about this more formal approach is being able to tap into the knowledge and experience of people in similar positions who are always happy to give their input. We are looking forward to actually being able to meet physically later in the year which will bring a new dynamic to the group. Enquiries welcome from anyone interested in joining us.
