Motivating Mum UK

After what seems like an amazingly full summer, with the Olympics (and how proud we can feel of what has been achieved so far), holidays, rain (and more rain) and sunshine and, phew, now back to school it hardly seems possible that my second Motivating Mum East Hertfordshire event was only in July!

Having been delighted at the success of the first event in Bishop’s Stortford in June I was raring to go with running the second one in July, a couple of weeks before the end of term, at the Café Rouge in Hertford. With a total of eleven women, and a small baby, it was another very enjoyable and supportive event with lots of opportunity to swap contacts and share ideas in an informal environment (and many thanks to Café Rouge which has proved to be a very suitable and child-friendly venue for us).

Alongside the informal networking opportunities, the talk by Katie Neilson of Little Bees Music Classes, was really practical with lots of hints and tips as to what has worked for her as the business, and her family, has grown. Thank you very much to Katie for being able to speak to us after a busy summer term teaching. Her new music classes, for pre-school children, start up again in September in the Hertford area.

Free goody bags were available again to everyone who came along and the responses on the evaluation forms I circulated has really helped to shape the future event programme for this group.

Thank you to everyone for being able to come along to both the first Hertford event and the first Bishop’s Stortford event. I am now looking forward to seeing more samples of products from mums in business at future events, especially with Christmas ever nearer (yes, I think I can say that as the new term is upon us!)

So, with autumn on the way and hopefully feeling a little recharged after the summer, now could be just the time to start thinking about coming along to a Motivating Mum event. There’s plenty to choose from in East Hertfordshire, with seven events during the autumn term, including networking events with a speaker (a free goody bag is still available to mums at these networking events), brainstorm sessions, a social media workshop and a pre-Christmas networking and selling event to other mums in business.

So, please tell your friends and spread the word. I look forward to meeting more mums and hearing about all the local businesses we are involved in across East Herts. very soon!
