Make It Happen Monday (otherwise known as MIHM) is a new event from the brains behind 4Networking, a business networking organisation with over 300 linked groups around the UK. I’ve attended three MIHM events at Swindon now (actually in Highworth, but that’s just a technicality!) and thought it was time I did a little review. The first point to …
I was thrilled to be invited to speak at Networking Women‘s Cheltenham meeting last week.
