Do you find it hard to Relax?
“There’s always so much to do, it’s impossible to find time for myself”; “I can’t switch off, there’s too much spinning around in my head!” Does this sound like you? For 1230 Woking members, this could be about to change! At our September meeting, Caroline from Shine is going to teach us to relax! We will learn and take away a list of quick and easy techniques that we can use in our daily lives.
September is also Bring a Girlfriend Month so any member bringing a guest on her first visit will have a FREE MEETING!
So – what are you waiting for? Book today for 1230 Woking on 17 September (and hope to see you on 20 August as well!)
An Exciting Day!
Today was so worthwhile. Lucy Long and Amalia Brightley-Hodges today arrived at RBS/NatWest office building in Bromley fully prepared for their interviews and subsequent training as 1230 Managers. Lucy will be running a 1230 group in Gravesend and Amalia will be taking over the 1230 Mayfair group from current Manager Caroline Heward. Because of security within the building I’d arranged to meet them both outside Next store – by the time I got to them, and I wasn’t late! they’d sorted out that Lucy could give Amalia a lift back to her home in Dartford, how they could help each other with their respective meetings, and how they could help each other with their businesses!
Lunch had been arranged at a nearby hostelry – every drink we asked for was “off” the menu, disregarding the fact that a supermarket was less than 5 mins walk away. However, not to be thwarted, Lucy tactfully arranged with the Manager that we didn’t pay for any of the drinks we had ultimately and presented each of us with a voucher for a complementary dessert at the next visit! How we wished we’d ordered champagne!
Thank you Lucy and Amalia for an extremely enjoyable day – welcome to our brilliant team of 1230 Managers!
Please watch the Meetings Calendar for the inaugural meeting of 1230 Gravesend.

By the Sea!
Yesterday I attended 1230 Hastings meeting in a fabulous new venue – Azur. Those attending included Liza Richards of Bright who brilliantly headed the meeting, Tess Warren of FAT (yet to find out why that business name!) web design, Carol Barfoot of Gibbons Mannington, Madeleine Murray of Pestalozzi, Jennifer Beaumont-Whyte of Beyond Boundaries and of course MD of Azur, Alison McQueen-Luzar.
Suffice to say that the 1230 meeting was brilliant – well done Liza, the company was brilliant – great to meet you all and look forward to many more occasions and the venue was stunning. Apart from not needing to have sea legs the view was if we were on an ocean liner, and the facilities, well you’d need to see it yourself.
Also this week I attended the hugely successful inaugural meeting of 1230 Dartford – well done Paula Pomeroy on your choice of venue, the beautiful setting of the Dartford Golf Club, and of course the excellent lively meeting.
Last week, and apologies for being a bit tardy on letting you know about this, but as you can tell 1230 is pretty busy! I attended 1230 King’s Hill – new venue and new 1230 Managers Karen Wilkinson and Mandy Shepherd who had done a brilliant job on finding the new venue – Thai Moom. Again, a great meeting.
Also last week saw me at 1230 Mayfair listening intently to Jane Keynon of Well Heeled Divas. Another fantastic 1230 meeting brilliantly headed by Caroline Heward.
Hastings…. I have to confess to not rushing back to the office…. and enjoyed some sun and sea before heading back.
Congratulations 1230 Managers and I look forward to meeting up with everyone again soon!
A Recipe to Keep Calm
When we have too much to do we often get stressed. This is as a result of too much adrenalin being produced by the body. This creates dis-ease in the body which can then lead to disease.
A simple way to reduce the adrenalin flow is simply to control the breathing in the following way.
Breath in to a count of 4. Breath out to a count of 6. Repeat 10 times.
It is important to make your out breath longer than the in breath as this sends a signal to the unconscious mind to reduce the adrenalin flow. In this way you regain control and are calm and relaxed thereby increasing your productivity.
A Big Thank You to Fiona Coppard
Fiona very kindly donated a necklace for the business draw at the Sevenoaks meeting today.
Fiona is a star networker and it has been inspiring seeing how her business has grown and diversified since she joined 1230 TWC

Are you in business with a relative?
I help out with the production of “The Business Show” on Westside radio (www.westsideradio.co.uk) and we are looking for guests for a show on “Families in Business”.
I would rather have a 1230 member on the show but if you know anyone who sounds suitable please tell them to get in touch.
The show will be on Friday 1st August at 10-11am and the station is based in Southall, West London but guests need to be there for 9.30am.
This is a great opportunity to promote yourself and your business and is also a wonderful opportunity for continuous personal development.
If you are reading this and are interested but feel some anxiety about promoting yourself, this is more the reason to power through your fear and do it.
Don’t let fear hold you back from the success you deserve. Email me now at lola@urbanspirit.co.uk and tell me a bit about yourself.
Have you considered Business Coaching?
What can it achieve? Will I be able to implement ideas? Aren’t I the best person to know what will work for me? Why would I need a coach?
These are the questions that Sue Thorn, Business Coach, will answer for us in a free interactive session at 1230 Woking on Wednesday 16th July.
This is bound to be popular and places are limited so book now to secure your place!
Fantastic Friday!
On Friday 20 June, I met with 5 vibrant business women in Greenwich. Their aim? To be 1230 Managers! My aim? To see them leave the training room totally ready to meet their challenges as 1230 Managers. We all succeeded!
