Introducing Sandra Godley OBE, our fabulous MC for Great Women in Business Meet Up 2025 on Friday!!

Those who know Sandra will know that she is a true ambassador and supporter of women in business. Her work for supporting women, girls and her local community in Coventry, was recognised recently when she received not one, but two very special accolades. A British Citizen Award medal for her work in the arts and music and an OBE for her charitable work with Women and Girls in Coventry.

As you can imagine when Sandra offered to host our first Great Women In Business Meet Up event last year, we were thrilled. When she asked if she could work with us again this year, we were truly honoured.

Sandra completely understands the meaning of community and wholeheartedly appreciates the power of bringing people together. She also knows that when women come together and they work with integrity and their values align on a mission to support others, amazing things can happen!

Thank you so much Sandra Godley Obe not only for supporting our event again this year, but for the continued work you do to support others. 💛💙🩷🧡

You will hear from each of our four founders, including the High Vibe Tribe leader and formidable business coach Dawn Owen Dawn Owen Coaching .

Masterclass four - 'How to Turn Connections into Clients.'

In this high-impact session, you’ll discover how to bridge the gap between meeting people and making money by using a simple but powerful system to turn casual connections into real business opportunities.

Using a simple model, Dawn will use this session to show you how to stop wasting time on the wrong conversations and start focusing on the right ones — the ones that generate referrals, sales, and success!

What you’ll learn –

✅ A simple framework to identify who belongs in your referral pipeline (and who doesn’t!)

✅ How to segment your network so you always know who to nurture, who to collaborate with, and who will send you referrals on repeat

✅ The exact approach that turns casual chats into golden opportunities — without feeling salesy or awkward

Walk away not just inspired, but with a clear, actionable plan to transform your connections into paying clients — fast.

If you want more referrals, more opportunities, and more sales without working harder, this is the session you can’t afford to miss.

Your network should be working for you — let’s make that happen!

Book your ticket today and join Dawn and a room full of women in business, waiting to connect with you!

At The Great Women in Business Meet Up, it's not only about connecting with everyone in the room, each network leader will be hosting their own masterclass, aimed at taking your networking to the next level.

Introducing our third masterclass with Sandra Garlick MBE of Woman Who ...Planning, Preparation & Purpose – Building a Strategy to Make Networking Work for You

Many people fall into the trap of thinking that successful networking means attending every event, collecting many business cards, and hoping that something sticks. But what if the real key to networking success is about being more strategic—not showing up everywhere, but showing up in the right places with clear intent and objectives?

Sandra will be sharing how being selective, intentional, and focused in your networking can lead to powerful connections, meaningful relationships, and unexpected opportunities. When she first started out, she suffered from FOMO (fear of missing out), attending every event possible.

However, over time, she learned that not all networking opportunities have the same value. Instead of spreading yourself too thin, it’s about choosing the right events, engaging with the right people, and nurturing relationships that matter.

Some of Sandra’s biggest business wins haven’t come from paid marketing or hard sales tactics, but from simply being present in the right rooms, having valuable conversations, and following up with purpose. Networking isn’t about instant results—it’s about planting seeds, building trust, and allowing opportunities to unfold naturally. It’s all about being visible in the right places.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by networking or struggled to see results, this session will help you reframe your approach. You’ll leave with a clear plan to attend the right events, make the right connections, and turn networking into a powerful tool for business growth.

Join Sandra and the other founder members Karen Heap, Dawn Owen and Sharon Louca 💎, for a fabulous day of networking fun and know-how!

At the Great Women in Business Meet Up 7th March 2025, not only do you get the opportunity to connect with everyone in the room, there are also four masterclass talks with expert advice about networking!
Hear from each of our Network Founders, as they share some of the tactics they've used to establish their own successful networks.

Learn how they have become super connectors and networking queens, to enhance your own knowledge and take your networking to the next level!

Sharon Louca founder of Womens Business Network UK will be sharing her expertise of 'Maximising Opportunities From Networking'.

Many people think of networking as just exchanging business cards, making small talk, or hoping for an immediate sale. But what if networking was actually the key to unlocking opportunities you never even expected?

Sharon will be sharing how showing up consistently, building trust, and being in the right spaces can lead to incredible opportunities—from unexpected referrals and collaborations to speaking opportunities and even new business ventures.

Her own journey proves it—some of her biggest business wins didn’t come from paid marketing or cold outreach, but from simply being present in the right rooms, having the right conversations, and nurturing the right relationships.

Many people give up on networking too soon because they don’t see instant results—but the truth is, networking is about planting seeds, not quick wins. When you show up consistently, people remember you, trust builds over time, and doors start opening—sometimes in ways you never anticipated.

If you’ve ever wondered how some business owners seem to attract opportunities effortlessly, this session will show you exactly how it’s done.

Join us and benefit from the generous networking guidance from Sharon and our other three founders: Dawn Owen, Sandra Garlick and Karen Heap.
