We can all do with some success in our lives, on whatever level it manifests. As women, we can really benefit from tapping into our collaborative nature, particularly in the business community.

So, if you're looking for some inspiration to kick start you into 2012, Join Sonia Brown MBE, founder of the National Black Women’s Network and Sistatalk, and one of our 10 amazing Charity Challengers for this year’s 10th Anniversary celebration of Funny Women, at the Women in Business Conference: Manifesting Success in 2012 which takes place on Thursday 19th January at the London Met, 84 Moorgate, between 10:00am and  4:00pm.  At this event Sonia does what she does best, helping other professional women to connect and share their secrets for success.

This powerful conference will feature a keynote presentation from Baroness Wheatcroft of Blackheath (former editor in chief of Wall Street Journal Europe and editor Sunday Telegraph) and a panel discussion formed by accomplished and talented women including Deb Leary OBE, CEO, Forensic Pathways Ltd (also taking part in the Funny Women Charity Challenge on 8th March); Cathy Walker, Head of Public Sector Marketing, Fujitsu Services; Sheila Elliott FCCA, MBA, LPNLP; Director BSS Group; Turly Humphries, CEO, Circle Sports; and Lisa Parsons, Area Director West London, Lloyds Banking Group – Commercial.

There will also be an afternoon session which provides a series of amazing interactive, action-oriented workshops that will help attendees eliminate the costly mistakes that stop women from achieving the results and income ceiling breakthroughs they want to experience in their business. 

A series of hands-on, practical workshops are designed to give attendees the tools they need to connect, grow and be inspired by drawing on leading business and industry experts.

For more information and to register NOW to avoid disappointment please visit www.nbwn.eventbrite.com. Entrance is free but places are limited.
