Who's going to be at Higher Voltage next month?!

If you ARE your business (a sole trader or solopreneur) then this event is for youuuuuu!

Why not treat yourself and your business to an early Christmas present, and get your ticket today; it's going to be the best way to start 2026! The line-up of speakers is fantastic, it's in a London location, and they have truly thought of everything to make it a brilliant event (especially for us neurospicy folk!).

And no, this isn't an advert, I'm not associated with anyone on the Higher Voltage team; I just believe it's an event not to be missed ✨

Check out their page (linked above) to find out all you need to know.

Are you authentic in your marketing? 🤔

Yes, it's very much a buzzword at the moment, but I truly believe that you need to be authentic in order to be successful.

Having said that, where's the line between being authentic and simply oversharing?

I'm delving into this topic on the next episode of Crescent Podcast - out this Friday on all the top podcasting platforms.

Thanks to for their ongoing support with the podcast 🙏

We all know how difficult it can be to continuously have to think of and create content for social media, which is why I've compiled a list of National and Awareness Days for 2026.

You can get creative and tie these events into your content strategy to connect with your audience in fresh, meaningful ways. Explore the dates for 2026 now and get inspired for the year ahead!

Using a relevant awareness day and creating a post about it and how it links to your business can be a great marketing tool. It doesn't have to be...

'Why do I do this to myself?' 🙈

That was all I kept thinking yesterday morning at Speaker School, with Conversations Unlimited and The Rookie CEO Club.

I knew that I wanted to be there, I wanted to develop my public speaking skills, and hopefully take it to a level where I can confidently deliver workshops, but I was full of self-doubt and had a complete lack of confidence.

But I did it... I got up there, and I did my talk in front of my fellow Speaker School classmates, albeit with a couple of false starts as I (predictably) spoke too quickly, trying to rush through it.

And, honestly... I actually enjoyed it! Yes, it was terrifying putting myself out there, especially talking about my work that I feel so strongly about. And yes, I made mistakes, stumbling through it. But I survived and I got some genuinely encouraging, constructive feedback, which has just left me wanting to persevere, practice and refine my skills.

So, if you've ever thought 'Oh, I can't do that' or 'I'm not XYZ enough to do that'... stop for a second, think about it again, and if it's something you really do want to do... give it a try. You'll never be sorry for trying to do something, but you might end up regretting what you don't do. Yes, it's a cliché, but it's also very true.

And whilst I'm not a great speaker yet, I'm working on it, and one day soon, I will be giving a talk to a room full of people; and that's just the beginning of this speaking journey for me.

Big thanks to the incredibly talented and unfailingly supportive Beth from Conversations Unlimited for being her wonderful self and to my brilliant Speaker Schoolers - Tracey of Zerenity Creates, Sophie of Jaguar Contract Cleaning Services Ltd, Steph of Books & Balance, Sam of Fuzzy Logic Tom of IT Manager Services Ltd and David Dadswell.

Big thanks to Mike and the fab team at Bay Branded Merch for my new branded jacket! ✨️

I've been umming and ahhing about getting branded workwear for a while, but eventually decided on a jacket and remembered meeting Mike at a Synergy Networking Events event earlier in the year.

He was brilliant from my initial enquiry right through to checking it had arrived safely and that I was happy with it - and I'm more than happy! I've been wearing it everywhere (even on the school run!) and recommending Mike and Bay to everyone 😊

Thanks so much, Mike!

A big topic that keeps coming up lately in conversation is the purpose of networking.

So, why do you network? What's in it for you?

If you rush around a networking event, throwing business cards at people, I don't think you're getting the most out of networking. Whilst getting new business is important - and necessary! - networking is not actually the place for that.

There are many different networking groups out there, and different styles and setups to suit different people/businesses. Weekly, monthly, early mornings, late mornings, evenings, pitching, discussions, speed networking... there's definitely something out there for everyone.

But the key thing that a lot of people I've met recently are missing is that networking is designed for you to meet people, to grow your network (the clue's in the name...), to build trust and relationships so that when/if the need arises, you know exactly who to go to or recommend.

If someone isn't going to take the time to even have a proper conversation WITH me as opposed to just talking AT me, there's no way I'd want to work with or recommend them.

So, I'm interested to know - what's been your best or worst networking experience? Let me know in the comments.
