And finally I wanted to bring to your attention a May event called Making a Difference in Business. The details of the event can be found below and are part of the FreshIdeas Events. The lineup of speakers looks really interesting. Also students and Make Your Mark Ambassadors get a discount.

London – Interbrand, Wednesday 21st May – 6.30pm to 9.30pm

This evening event is part of a series of networking seminars featuring inspiring business leaders.

This is an excellent event to attend if you are an entrepreneur or corporate woman in business looking for practical advice and seeking to get ahead or grow a business.

Get ahead in business

At our previous event, the importance of building a brand for an organisation was discussed. This time, we look at personal branding and differentiating your own unique selling point.

With growing competition in business, these are increasingly seen as key strategies for success and profitability. Guest speakers include Margot Katz, author and business consultant, who will explore the strategies for success as outlined in her current book: reflecting on values; keeping ahead of the game; expressing a personal brand and strategic networking.

We also have two leading business women, Sonita Alleyne, CEO Somethin’ Else and Christina Vaughan, CEO Image Source who will further develop these ideas and offer insights from their own experience into what it takes to grow a successful career or business.

Why attend?

During this series, business people like you will benefit from:

  • excellent networking opportunities

  • hearing the secrets of success from some of the UK’s leading female entrepreneurs
  • mixing with like-minded business people
  • gaining access to practical information and exciting new ideas for your business


Business Link in London will also be exhibiting at this event. Business Link in London is a free and impartial business advisory service available to anyone starting up or running a small or medium sized business and this is a good opportunity to speak to them.

Want to Make a Difference?

As always in this series, we showcase some exciting achievements and excellent speakers and discuss the challenges faced by businesses balancing profitability with their responsibilities to the wider community.
