✨ Fresh Start Fridays ✨

This week, create a moment of quiet to reconnect with you. Not your roles, your to-do list, or your productivity - just you.

We often check in on others… but when was the last time you asked yourself:
- How am I really feeling today?
- What do I need more of?
- What am I proud of myself for?

You are always allowed to pause, reflect, and listen to your own needs. That’s not selfish - it’s wise.

How are you feeling - really? If you feel comfortable, drop one word below to name your current state.

Happy Friday, everyone! ☀️

The weekend is just around the corner, but before we get there, let’s take a moment to look back and celebrate. Whether you accomplished something big, made small steps forward, or simply kept going - you’ve done great!

Share your wins in the comments and let’s finish the week with some positivity!

Networking for Introverts: How to Build Meaningful Connections from Anywhere

You Get to Define What Networking Looks Like
At the end of the day, networking isn’t about collecting business cards or being the loudest voice in the room. It’s about building relationships—authentic, supportive, and meaningful relationships that help you grow, both personally and professionally.

Whether you’re walking with like-minded women, meeting someone one-on-one, or showing up to a curated group online, know this:

You don’t have to be extroverted to be connected.
You don’t have to do things the way everyone else does.
You just have to start—in your own way, on your own terms.

Because the best connections come when you show up as your real self.
So, take that step. You might be surprised how many others are walking right alongside you.

If you’d like to book in for one of my Walk & Talks, we’d love to meet you!

I've put together this blog just for you to help you navigate the world of networking: https://time-well-spent.co.uk/networking-for-introverts-how-to-build-meaningful-connections-from-anywhere/

Walk & Talk - 9th August - 9am

Book in for our next Event in August by using the link below.

If you're a woman in business, or aspiring to be, then come and meet up with like-minded women for support, exchanging ideas and collaboration. If you're too busy during the week to network, as you're supporting your clients, then come and join us one Saturday a month at 9:00 am before your weekend starts! We'll walk and talk, getting fresh air and exercise as well as inspiration and motivation from each other. If you want to stay on for coffee afterwards that would be great too!

We'll meet at 9:00 am under the covered area next to the Antiques Centre on the town side of Exeter Quay in front of The Prospect Inn. Bring along business cards and any other information you'd like to share. Be dressed for the weather and the weekend, not for business! It's a very informal networking event so just come and relax and enjoy the company.

We all know that networking can benefit your business in so many ways.

You can build your support network.
You can create collaborations.
You can build relationships with people.
You get fresh ideas.
You’re energised and inspired.
You can grow your business.
You can access new information that may be helpful.
You can build your confidence.
You can get a different perspective.
You can build and promote your business brand.
You can establish your expertise.
It helps you get outside your comfort zone.

By Walking and Talking you get the added bonus of being outside in the fresh air and exercise!

The benefits of Face to Face networking are even better.

Promotes good mental health as it gets you out of your office and mixing with like-minded people.
You build stronger connections.
More effective conversations than online as you don’t have to wait for the pause in the connection!
People are more collaborative and engaged in face-to-face conversations.

So, why not come and join us and become part of a supportive, energised and collaborative group of women?

Networking for Introverts: How to Build Meaningful Connections from Anywhere

Don’t Let It End at “Nice to Meet You”

One of the biggest mistakes in networking is not following up. Connection is just the first step - nurturing it is where the magic happens. After the event:

• Send a genuine “great to meet you” email.
• Connect on LinkedIn or follow on social media.
• Share a relevant resource or idea based on your conversation.
• Suggest grabbing a coffee before the next event to continue the conversation.

Some things are simply out of your hands - and that’s okay.

Letting go isn’t giving up; it’s choosing peace over pressure. Focus your energy on what you can shape, not what you can’t.

Your time is too valuable to waste on worry.
