At a recent meeting, we started talking about why we come networking, and why we love networking at BNI Century so much.
Here's what Gemma Giles from Staffordshire Network for Mental Health says:
"Until I came to Century, I thought that structured breakfast networking meetings were stuffy, suited and booted. I imagined people were there to talk about their business, but not necessarily to listen.
I'm not a 'structure' kind of person. I like talking to people, and enjoy the conversations, especially hearing the barriers people are learning to manoeuvre through. I connect better with stories and getting to know the person behind the company, so struggled with the idea of networking as I thought it was out of my comfort zone. Until I came to BNI Century...
What makes Century different for me is the people! Everyone in the group is your support system, your marketing team and your cheerleaders - both on the good busy weeks and the not-so-good quieter weeks. They motivate me to push myself, and also give me the great advice I need to help me succeed.
Every Friday, I’m excited to see them all, to find out what they have been up to, learn some useful advice and also see the amazing work being passed between us all.
It’s a tough world when your trying to start, grow or maintain a business - and sometimes it can be lonely. I don’t feel that anymore as I know I have a whole team behind me trying everything they can to help me achieve my goals. Thanks Team Century! 😍"
