Squeaky squeak, you’ve sprung a leak

Drip drip drip.

In politics and media are leaks ever 'accidental?'

What a week it’s been for leaks. First X-Factor, well. X- Factor is always in there with something; it’s a phenomenal marketing machine and will be studied by marketing, music…

Are you visible?

The first thing any new potential client, who is interested in what you have to offer, is going to do is Google your name, and if not your name, then your business. So what is Google saying about you? Are you in control of that? (You need to be). What are you doing to build your reputation in your marketplace? Are you visible? Are you being seen as 'the one to go to'? How are you marking your differentiation?



An awareness of your position in the throng of similar businesses out there… Continue

River Of Lights

On 21st December we will turn the River Wey into a beautiful River Of Lights. We are inviting the residents of Guildford and the surrounding towns and villages to make floating lanterns from halves of oranges, hollowed out and with a tea light. They can then come and place it along with over 500 other floating lantern candles in the river.



There will also be lantern sculptures, fire breathers, a folk choir, and the Wishing Tree...… Continue

A Stress free Christmas

Are you dreading the thought of having to write all those Christmas cards? Each year it seems to be more of a chore unless I take control of it. The trick is not to do it all at once but to schedule 15 minutes at a time. Then it is not overwhelming and you will have a better chance of getting it done

without too much stress.



Here are my 12 steps to Heaven.…

How focused are you?

It’s all to easy to forget to keep focused in life. This applies to all aspects of life; work, love, sport etc.



I was reminded of this at the weekend. I have a wedding to attend this Saturday, I have shopped and shopped and was still without a dress until Sunday. I went to bed Saturday night picturing the dress I wanted

to buy and unlike my previous shopping trips I knew exactly what I

wanted. Up I got Sunday morning, focused on the…

Developing a Living Brand



Differentiation, Differentiation, Differentiation!



How do people in your business network know you exist? Are you visible? And is your company as visible as you would like it to be within your particular arena? If you are visible, are you getting the results you want or has business slowed to a crawl? Could it be perhaps that something in your business, without your knowledge or realisation, is beginning to slip out of your control? Could it be about your branding? And I’m not… Continue

How Monday Went.....

A great evening was had by all who attended, it would have been great to have a few more of those who said they would or might come to have come along, but all I can say....it's their loss.



Kevin Green arrived at the Ambassadors and we settled down to listen to his story, embedded within were nuggets of information to think upon later.



Then we had a small auction and so a donation to Chase Hospice, Make a Wish and Amber Foundation



Kevin had also been…

Networking in Surrey News - week beginning 8 November 2010

So, the gales are upon us, it gets dark at 4pm, and 'It's' back to haunt us - by which I mean the dreaded 'C' word - Xmas! Stopping some way short of 'bah, humbug!', I'd like to register a mild 'tut-tut' at being bombarded with tinsel and teddy bears 'from here to Nativity', on TV, in shops, in magazines and through the letter box.

Having said that, I'm more than happy to have lots of Christmas specials in our…
