What a day it was!

πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

I saw so many people I knew, but I didn't get a chance to chat with half of them because there were so many other new people to meet 😍

The atmosphere was brilliant! The talks were amazing!

If you didn't attend, you definitely missed out πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Well done to Mark Pitfield, Pitfield and The Thrive Tribe team! πŸ§‘πŸ’™

Networking with innuendos? You bet I was there!

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Life is more fun when you can win a πŸ† on a grab machine 🀣

Last Thursday was the long-awaited Link Up organised by the amazing Shaun Thompson 🧠 and I loved every minute of it 😍

Why?

Because networking to me is about more than a 60-second pitch... It's about getting to know the people behind the business!

And you get to know people really well when you add games, double entendres, and alcohol to great entrepreneurs 😊

I've already had some amazing conversations with the people I met last Thursday πŸ’œπŸ’š

New opportunities and new collaborations are brewing πŸ˜‰

I can't wait for details of the next one πŸ₯³

Session 4 of the Kickstart Your Business Social Media Course was today 😍

In this session we talked about content pillars, where to get content inspiration, and different content styles 😁

One of the attendees said at the end of the session that this course has been a "game changer" for them and then went on to say "you've given me so many ideas and things to think about" πŸ₯³

These moments are what I live for as a trainer and coach 😁 the moments where I inspire business owners to create content that will get them flying πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈ

I can't wait until next week's session where we will write a strategy together and start to shape their marketing in the most effective way 😁

Today is Hobbit Day πŸ’š

If you've spoken to me for 0.4 seconds, you've probably heard how much I love J.R.R. Tolkien's works. Last year I had the absolute privilege to go on a Lord of the Rings tour of New Zealand πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ arranged and booked by the marvellous Erin Newberry 😍

It's been a dream of mine to live in New Zealand for a very long time. Since visiting I have held that dream as I build my business πŸ’ͺ everything I do now is to get me there... to live in my very own Hobbit hole 😍

Having a dream of where you want your business to go is so important, it keeps us going when we face hard days πŸ’šπŸ’œ


Getting your business flying on social media (so that I can fly to New Zealand)

Were you there this morning?

πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

As much as I hate early mornings, Grantham Business Club was worth the 5am alarm today 😁

It was wonderful to hear Garth Stinson talk about his decision making model πŸ’šπŸ’œ really thought provoking and interesting (and made me realise that I do some things instinctively)

I loved catching up with people in my network and meet new people 😊

At the end I offered a fantastic opportunity for businesses to get involved with a brilliant event happening next month 🍻

Message me for details of how you can get involved πŸ₯³



With thanks to my fellow committee members, Andrew Martin Gree Michelle Wright Sarah-Jane Tinkler Ingrid Dean Deborah Wylie for keeping me topped up with coffee this morning β˜•οΈβ˜•οΈβ˜•οΈ

❌ Sharing company posts isn’t enough!

3 mistakes employees often make when promoting their workplace online:
πŸ‘‰ Just reposting without adding their own voice.
πŸ‘‰ Forgetting to bring personality or emotion.
πŸ‘‰ Sharing with no idea of how it actually builds the brand.

It’s why so many company updates feel… well, a bit flat.

That’s why I’ve created The Social Amplifier – an in-person training course that shows employees how to share stories, experiences and insights that connect with people and build real trust in your brand.

Here’s what Erin, who joined one of my sessions, said:
"Flick is really knowledgeable and breaks it down so that even I understood it and I've never done any marketing before!"

✨ Imagine your employees not just sharing, but shining on social media.

πŸ“’ Introducing: The Social Amplifier – Training for Employee Brand Advocacy!

When I worked in corporate settings earlier in my career, one message came up time and time again:
"Promote the business on social media."

The problem? We were never given the tools, training, or confidence to do anything beyond hitting share on the company page’s posts. It always felt like a missed opportunity.

That experience inspired me to create something different – something practical, engaging, and empowering.

πŸ‘‰ The Social Amplifier is a brand-new course designed for businesses with 25+ employees across the East Midlands. It helps your team go beyond simple resharing, giving them the skills to become confident, authentic advocates for your brand online.

✨ What makes it different?
πŸ’œ Delivered in person at your workplace.
πŸ’š Options for half-day or full-day sessions.
πŸ’œ Up to 10 employees per group for maximum impact.
πŸ’š Practical training that shows your people how to share stories, insights, and experiences that genuinely grow your brand’s reputation.

Your employees are already the most powerful voice your company has. This course simply gives them the tools to amplify it.

If you’d like your team to become confident brand champions, let’s have a chat.

πŸ“© Drop me a message to learn more or book your session.

I may have been absent on my socials recently, but this is too big to miss!

This month I am celebrating 3 years of running my own business! πŸ‘πŸ»

There are days when I feel like I've been doing this forever, and times when it feels like yesterday that I was being told I would be out of a job and I needed to do something new πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I can't deny that it has been a rollercoaster to get to this point 🎒

The highs are incredibly high πŸ₯³

The lows can feel impossible to overcome 😒

But new things are coming this month to celebrate my 3 year business anniversary 😁

3 years of networking 🀝
3 years of supporting my clients πŸ₯°
3 years of wearing all the hats in the company πŸŽ“
3 years of tax returns 🫣
3 years of showing up as me 😍

Why do I limit the number of tickets available on my courses?

πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

❌ It's not to make selling them any easier
❌ It's not to create FOMO (yes, I see you marketers that do this! πŸ‘€)
❌ It's not for any nefarious reason

Put simply, I want those who are on my courses to feel comfortable asking questions πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

In large groups, many people feel like they can't ask their "stupid questions".

Yes, I hold the belief that there are no such things as stupid questions, but in large groups, people don't ask anything. They prefer to keep their head down below the parapet for fear of being seen as the "stupid one" of the group.

Small groups create a more open conversation πŸ’¬πŸ—¨οΈ

People feel more confident to share their experiences in smaller, formed groups.

As my courses are often run in a workshop style, I want people to feel comfortable talking and sharing with others in the session.

If you've got questions about social media marketing and how you can get your story flying on social media, sign up for my Kickstart Your Business Social Media Course that starts on 4th September.

Tickets are limited (obviously given the above information) and available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/kickstart-your-business-social-media-course-tickets-1392728732129?aff=oddtdtcreator

This is the last time I will be running this course at the low price of Β£99, so get your ticket before they are all gone!

NEVER GET STUCK ON "WHAT TO WRITE?" AGAIN!

✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻

This September, I am hosting my Kickstart Your Business Social Media Online Course, where you will learn all the things that make content writing simple and effective for your story and your brand.

Whether you are a business owner, self-employed or an employee, social media is one of the easiest and effective ways of marketing yourself, your skills, your passion and your business.

If you've ever opened a social media app and thought, "What shall I post today?" this course is perfect for you.

❌ No jargon
❌ Nothing so complex you can't implement it right away
❌ No need for any marketing knowledge before you sign up

Just simple, open training where you can use the skills immediately to get your story flying on social media.

Over six live sessions, we will cover:
πŸ’œ Discovering your brand (personal and business)
πŸ’š Finding your target market (and talking to them directly)
πŸ’œ Why storytelling is so important (and how it can get you seen!)
πŸ’š Writing a social media strategy (let's start posting with purpose)
πŸ’œ Pillars and content styles (what are they and how can you use them?)
πŸ’š Writing a month of content in an hour (yes! It can be done!)
πŸ’œ How to use AI to better your marketing (without sounding like a robot)
πŸ’š And so much more!!

When you understand the fundamentals of social media marketing, posting becomes easy and second nature!

This is the last time I will be hosting this course at such an unbelievable price, so make sure you get your ticket before they're gone.

Places are limited so that everyone gets a chance to ask their questions and really understand social media marketing and what it can do for them.

All sessions are recorded, too - so you never miss one even if work gets in the way of learning!

Tickets are just Β£99 and available from Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1392728732129?aff=oddtdtcreator

Join me in September and never get stuck on content and what to write ever again!

I think most of you, by now, know what my favourite story is...

πŸ“–πŸ“–πŸ“–πŸ“–πŸ“–

I have been a lifelong bookworm πŸ“šπŸͺ± (although my husband would describe me as a book dragon because I hoard the books like they are treasure πŸ‰πŸ’Ž)

My favourite stories have come from one particular author: J.R.R. Tolkien πŸ’œ

I first read The Hobbit at the age of 9, and I read The Lord of the Rings for the first time at the age of 11!

What captured me most about these stories is that the hobbits were never considered great heroes of Middle-earth... they were "unlikely creatures" and "were quite content to ignore and be ignored by the 'big folk'"...

I followed every step of their journey and felt the emotions that plagued them throughout their trials. And they are stories that I would happily read again and again (and again).

You see, a good story is worth rereading. Even when you remember all the details, because it hooks you in.

Why then, when it comes to our own story in our marketing, do we think telling it over and over again will put people off?

If it's a good story (and I suspect it is!) then people will want to read it again and again!

Put your story on your social media and see how many people it will emotionally connect with πŸ˜‰
