This week I enjoyed a festive joint WIBN meeting with the groups from Wokingham and Reading.  For those of you familiar with networking, you’ll know that you are usually asked to present a 1 minute at each meeting about you and your business.  Being the season to be jolly, we were asked to include certain festive words like “Sparkle” and “Snow”.

We are both huge fans of networking (Claire belongs to a local Athena group and Lisa is a member at the WIBN).  Rather than use the minute to promote my services, I wanted to say a little thank you to the inspiring ladies who are all part of my networking group.  We can honestly say that over half of our business comes from networking and 2015 has been a fantastic year for us.  We’ve also used the services of many of these ladies and better still recommended them to our contacts.  So here is my little ode to the WIBN!…

‘Twas the night before Christmas
And all was not well.
Santa was exhausted
And started to yell:

“The kids are all sorted.
It’s the adults you see,
They’re tired and stressed
And that’s bothering me!

My elves have all finished
Their work for the year.
But those adults lack sparkle
And need festive cheer.”

St. Nick scratched his beard
And called on his brain.
Then picked up the phone
To his Chief Elf Lorraine!

Lorraine was delighted
And knew just what to do.
For inspiring ladies;
She knew one or two!

There’s Rachel for photos
With fab shots of your head.
Then go and relax in
Camilla’s lush shed!

Alison has style
And colours galore.
Joanna has cushions
And candles and more.

Shell or Jenni for admin
And Julie for cars
Lisa and Karen
Are marketing stars!

For healing and calming
Too many to name.
We have lawyers from divorce
To making a claim.

Did we mention our coaches
And physios swell?
We even have gifts made
From Aloe Vera Gel!

We have experts for finance
Including your wills.
We also have ways
Of reducing your bills!

Santa was clapping,
His face was abeam.
All he needed was the help
Of the WIBN team!

He ran outside
And loaded his sleigh.
With vouchers and gifts,
Rudolph lead the way.

And all of those adults
So frazzled and low.
Had the best Christmas ever
(Despite no snow).

And on Christmas Night,
Santa sat with a grin
And raised a glass to the
Wonders of the WIBN!

~ Happy Christmas Everyone! ~
