DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN?

Networking Women launch their first conference for Women in Business

In the current economic climate, with the spending cuts in full swing individuals throughout the UK are looking for jobs and thinking about setting up their own businesses. Networking Women based in Witney Oxfordshire have put together their first Conference with this in mind. Designed to give a complete overview of all aspects of setting up and running a business, the Conference will take place at The Oxford Centre on 15th September from 9.30am - 4.30pm.

Entitled "Believe you Can!" is a full day of top speakers, learning sessions, workshops and networking opportunities put together by a group of eight business women who all run their own successful companies. Topics will include Brand Design, Networking, Finance, PR & Marketing, Goal Mapping, How to manage your Work Life Balance, Social Media, Networking and How to get the best from the Rest of Your Life.

Lisa Cherry, co-founder of Networking Women said; "We are very aware that there are now lots of people out there who are looking for second careers and have always wanted to run their own businesses. Our Conference is designed to cater for all business needs whether they are a woman starting out in business or a fully fledged female entrepreneur."

Keynote Speaker Sarah Steel from The Old Station Nursery set up her own business with her sister in 2001, when unable to find childcare. The company now has 15 childcare settings around the UK, including 3 nurseries in Oxfordshire with 250 staff in total. Sarah said; "I am delighted to be the keynote speaker as it is a great opportunity to encourage women to think about starting their own business. I will show them that it is possible to enjoy the benefits of an exciting career which they are in control of. I have been running The Old Station Nursery Group for 10 years and whilst it has certainly had its moments, I wouldn't swop my choices for a 'proper job'!

Delegates will have the opportunity to attend four "Time to Learn" sessions that focus on personal learning and business development. There will also be an exhibition hall with business exhibitors that can offer advice and support.
