The Networking Event of the Year
CEPN met for their second meeting of the month and highlighted it as 1 of the networking events of the year.
If you were sceptical about the trailer and did not attend, you missed an excellent evening. Fifty + entrepreneurs and the odd committee member, (not all committee members at CEPN are odd) laid into food supplied by Office Food and drinks from Chester Beer and Wine.
The first two speakers were from 2 local charities Hospice of the Good Shepherd and The Chester Link. Sue Gallagher (standing in for James Dick of The Chester Link) and Amanda Le Breton outlined the main activities of the charities.
The main speaker was Jane Kenyon who has considerable presence and the ability to hold her audience. She talked with and interacted with the meeting for 1 hour.
The theme was ‘What is your individual brand?’ The meeting was split into 6 groups, the main questions were:
- Products have values – What are yours?
- How do brands behave in the market place?
- How do brands behave in the boardroom?
- Beliefs?
The meeting were then asked to list words which reflect yourself in:
Work – Relationships – Family/Friends
In closing Jane talked about F.L.P
- F – Focus on what you want
- L – Language, be positive
- P – Physiology, be confident
Everyone then shouted their own buzz word and high’5’ to other people in group.
If you where ther we would love to hear from you!








Jane Kenyon from Well Heeled Divas who fronted our Big Networking night of the year at Univrsity of Chester’s Business School re:m Branding – Revealing the Authentic You!! Fantastic, thought provoking evening…..absolutely GREAT!
This was certainly a very successful event; there was a positive ‘networking buzz’ for the first hour followed by an excellent interactive presentation from Jane Kenyon. Throw in a super buffet, unlimited drinks and, at £5 per head, it had to qualify as the networking bargain of the year!What was even better is that the proceeds [generously topped up by the Forum] went to two deserving charities.
This event was electric! The evening was very warm and a lot of people new and regular turned up for the event and to see Jane Kenyon speak.
Jane was amazing and managed to keep a room of just under 60 people entertained and thinking about their businesses for an hour.
Great event and Im looking forward to next years!
