Dear Member,

Well I'm back from Krakow & it was great - very warm, very lively, young & interesting. A real mix of old & new.

For those of you who went, I hope you enjoyed the joint networking event at Prewer & Orsborn.

The Kent Business Exhibition took place on a very hot Friday at Canterbury cricket ground and although there probably wasn't the attendance that many of us would have liked it was a real chance to meet people & lots of leaflets both for WIB & our members were distributed.

There are 2 more events left before our summer break in August so do come along they are a fantastic way to get to know people and tell them about yourself & your business. Also do let me know if you are running events, workshops etc. as some of our members (including me!) have done this month.

And so to forthcoming WIB & other Events .....

Wednesday 11th June from 7.15pm

SEX, DIET & SUCCESS!
CCCU Hall Place Enterprise Centre, Harbledown

Have you read all the relationship books going, yet still find your love life a problem? Have you tried every fad diet possible, but still have weight issues? Have you been on all the 'get rich quick' courses yet wonder why you're still in the same job?

These are the 3 areas that most of us experience problems with at some point during our lives. So why do so many of us keep getting it wrong? Come and find out why we sabotage our own success time and time again. WIB member Vicky Smith has over 14 years experience in organization and human development. As an NLP Psychotherapist, Trainer and Life Coach she can help you identify and change the un-useful patterns we run that hold us back time and time again.
