Today
I attended my first meeting, as a 'visitor', to decide
whether I'd like to join. Having ended the meeting
with three prospective new clients, and a lot of very
excited interest. I'm in! Wrap it, I'll take it!

I
just thought that you might like to know that I have just
totalled up the amount of revenue TipTop generated through
Athena referrals from June 2005 to end of June 2006 (my 1st
year) and it came to: £24,740.12p.
Needless to say, I will be renewing my membership this year!

It
was lovely to meet you today and I really did enjoy the
meeting. Having been really apprehensive about the whole
networking idea it was great to meet so many nice ladies in
such a relaxed environment and to see networking happening
naturally without any pressure.

I
felt privileged to have been part of the workshop and will
certainly digest and put into practice all that you have
taught us.

Enjoyed being in an
atmosphere that is both warm and ‘buzzing’ whilst increasing
my knowledge and experiences of networking.

What
I enjoyed about today's workshop was that I am learning more
about the 'ease and grace' of networking ... it's finally
becoming less daunting. Thank you.

Linda O'Rourke - Regional Director, East
Middlesex
|
 I
began my career as a data entry clerk
and gradually worked my way up the
career ladder to become a HR Manager in
a generalist role.
Having
been in the corporate world for more
years than I care to mention I was made
redundant for the second time in my
career. I had turned a certain age and
decided that corporate life was no
longer for me and decided to buy my own
beauty business. Unfortunately this
fell through at the last minute and
whilst looking for a new business I
discovered Beautytek. I purchased a
Beautytek franchise and several months
in realised how lonely it can be owning
your own business. Networking was
suggested to me and so I went along to
my first network meeting.
Networking
helped me realise that I wasn’t alone
and that there were other women willing
to offer me advice on how to move
forward.
Whilst networking I met several Athena
members who always seemed to be having a
great time and decided to find out a bit
more about The Athena Network and well
here I am now a Regional Director for
the Staines & Sunbury area
