Newbury Business Breakfast
Thursday 2nd February 2012 7:30am
Meetings are held at Chequers Hotel in Oxford Street, Newbury, and there is plenty of parking at the hotel.
We start the meeting at 7.30am in a civilised way with strong coffee and fruit juice (not necessarily in the same cup!). After a great breakfast and networking session we finish at 9am. What does it cost? £9.50 – the best value around.
Forum Topic this week – Our meeting on 2nd will be led by Ann Griffiths, Personal & Professional Development Coach from Vision Coaching. Ann will be leading a fun exercise in discovering different personality styles; what your preferred style is; and how well these various styles work together. This will be a very interactive session and highly informative. Please be prepared for the 'fun' version as Ann has 'caricatured' the different styles for your entertainment, but without losing the essence of the very serious theory that underpins it.
If you intend to come, please register by emailing ann@vision-coaching.co.uk so we can confirm numbers with the hotel.
For those of you yet to come to the Newbury Business Breakfast Club, you will love it! It offers great opportunities for making local connections, a fantastic breakfast, and also a forum to make the most of the business minds of the group to solve business problems, and air views. There is no annual membership fee, just the price of your breakfast, which is fixed at £9.50. We meet bi-weekly for some great networking.
Benefits of coming along:
1. You get the opportunity to make local business connections and alliances
2. You get to meet a range of business people from diverse industries
3. You get support and the opportunity to share the collective knowledge and expertise of the group
4. You get to promote and showcase your own business
5. You get to discuss business issues and find solutions through group discussions
6. You get to meet like minded people that motivate each other
7. You get great value for money
