It was wonderful to see so many of you at our last event held Wednesday 18th of November at ANZ in Canary Wharf. If your calendar is anything like mine I know just how difficult it is to fit anything extra into your schedule over the holiday season. Thanks to you all for helping promote the network and helping us grow such a diverse network of women, I have been receiving an email a day lately from Kiwi's who have just arrived over here or are desperate to get networking, so chances are if you havent made it to an event for a while you will see new faces in January, which is always good!

Our evening started with getting to know some new people by introducing ourselves to those on our table and brainstorming by sharing our own top tips for networking and building relationships. One of the aims of this Network is to share ideas and help each other. I have consolidated these tips into a cheat sheet, which is attached.

Next we listened to Dallas Leigh-Hill with her 10 Commandments of Peak Performance. Dallas was an amazing speaker and her own personal experiences helped convey her message to us. I'm very much looking forward to reading Dallas's book once it's out as it sounds like she's interviewed a number of peak performers who have excelled in their field. Thank you Dallas!

Congratulations to Joanna Reesby who won our first door prize of a place at Dallas's next workshop in January. Our second door prize was won by Linda Cook which was kindly donated by New Zealand hair dresser Christa Loisel of Ena Salon. The package included a free cut, colour and manicure. Christa also donated a 30% voucher to all who attended on the night. Please help support Christa in building her London client base.
