Inspiring Women Series:  Making a Difference in Business        

London - Interbrand, Wednesday 21st May

On 21st May a large group of delegates gathered in Interbrand on the Strand for the latest in the Inspiring Women series.  

The audience included a mix of business owners from smaller, new businesses and delegates from larger companies including HSBC, Shell and Multimap.



Turn up the Volume!

The evening was expertly hosted by Satnam Rana presenter and reporter from BBC Midlands Today.

Satnam introduced Margot Katz, author and international business consultant, who gave an informative and entertaining session on personal branding.  Margot encouraged us, with the aid of a can of beans and a stick of rock, to "turn up the volume" and "be bloody good".  Read some Top Tips from Margot and find out where you can hear more from her.

Margot was followed by Sonita Alleyne, founding director of Somethin' Else.  Sonita, who was awarded an OBE for services to broadcasting, gave us an insight into what it takes to grow a successful media business.  And now that she is 41, we are looking forward to see what this successful business woman will turn her hand to next.

Finally Christina Vaughan, CEO Image Source was interviewed by Satnam.  We understood a bit more about what Margot meant by "Being Bloody Good" as we heard that Christina runs a fantastic business across 4 international offices, with 100 employees and $40 million gross sales worldwide.



Don't just sit there!

During the networking there was plenty of lively debate as people chatted, shared ideas and took advantage of the opportunity to make lots of new connections.  

Karen Darby, and founders and executives from PR4 and the VMA Group made themselves available to chat to people and offer advice.  

People who attended left feeling inspired and ready to shake up business in the capital!
