“Work Smarter, Not Harder: 5 Steps to working less hours whilst earning more money”

One of the biggest dangers to running a small business is getting caught in the feast and famine cycle – three months of work followed by the terror of wondering where the next client is going to come from. It doesn’t need to be like this.

Karen took the group through the key steps to make yourself and your business more efficient, effective and productive.

“Email Newsletters Made Easy”

How to set up and create an email newsletter for coaches, trainers and consultants that will convert website visitors in to paying clients

“To Blog or Not to Blog”

Sharing the stage with Laura Tenison

“Thank you in wiriting for being such a wonderful speaker and making our May workshop on Social Media the best of the year to date.

In the end, we had a record turn-out of delegates and it was wonderful to see how we all squeezed into the private dining room at the Old Bear to hear your lively and interactive discussion (without powerpoint or notes!) on how best to use social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn) to reach new audiences effectively.”

She has a wealth of knowledge and puts her messages across in a very understandable way that you can relate to immediately. So thanks Karen -- and anyone reading this should sign up for her newsletters, full of very useful tips and advice.”

If you get a chance to see Karen speaking (especially about blogging) do so. A million thank you’s Karen for pointing out the obvious to me ….”
