Can't make an event? Let someone else join instead of you!

Uncategorized Apr 08, 2025

A fresh and flexible update to the events included in memberships is here!


This concerns the membership options that have the workshops included:

- Light: Events only

- Classic: MasterMind group and Events


Here’s how it works: each membership has one main member, but if you can’t make a workshop:

You can send someone else in your place.!

It doesn’t always have to be the same person so it's a great way to share your membership if you choose to.

Just note: this applies to workshops only, not mastermind groups or extras linked to your name.

There are a few great events in the pipeline that you have access to included in your membership, or that you can join as a one-off as a guest.

What’s coming up?

- Catch Your Saboteurs Workshop – 12 MayĀ - Helen von Dadelszen

- Canva AI Masterclass – 4 JuneĀ - Julie de Meyer

- Members' Summer Party – 18 June

- Self-Esteem vs Self-Confidence – 23 JuneĀ - Karin Casutt

- Members Film Content Together – 24 June

- Vision Board Workshop – 3 Sep

Uncategorized Apr 08, 2025

Every 5th Monday of the month is "Social Monday". Members get together informally and discuss something specific. The 31st of March Social Monday was all about sharingĀ our favourite business apps that make life easier, and asking others what solutions they had for areas we want a solution for.

From streamlining workflows to managing contacts, we exchanged onĀ go-to tools, filling in the gaps for each other, and turning to chat GPT as a group for ideas on the spot! šŸ¤

We walked away with a fantastic list, packed with practical solutions! Here are three interesting tips we came up with that you might want to check out too:

The magic of working with people who are starting out 🌱✨

Uncategorized Apr 08, 2025

There’s something really special about supporting people at the beginning of their business journey.Ā 

You can feel their passion; it’s genuine, real, and full of heart šŸ’›

They care deeply about what they do.
They want to get it right āœ…
They’re listening, learning, adapting šŸ“ššŸ”„
And because of that, they often offer an exceptional experience, one that’s personal and thoughtful 🤲

I’ve found that people in the early stages are incredibly open.
šŸ’¬ Ā They value feedbackĀ 
Ā ā“ They ask great questions that require some thought to answer, thereby already helping you!
Ā šŸ’” They genuinely want to hear your perspective

You can build a real, meaningful partnership with them, one where both sides grow together šŸ¤šŸŒæ

It takes me back to my own early days...
To the people who gave me a chance, when I was still finding my feet šŸ‘£
Who forgave the beginner's missteps šŸ™ˆ
And chose to trust me, not just for what I was offering, but for who I was trying to become šŸ’«

Some of them had more faith in me than I had in...

Secret networking opportunities

Uncategorized Apr 08, 2025

I get told I’m good at networking, and it always surprises me.
I’m a huge Introvert at heart and I will often be the first to leave an event because I’ve had a great time, met wonderful people, but I feel my battery is flat and it’s time to go.

Ā 

Why am I always surprised that I am told I’m good at networking?

Because I feel like I never actually do it.

Ā 

And THAT is exactly the secret.

Ā 

I have found so many ways in which to ā€œtrickā€ myself into networking that somewhere along the line I didn’t realise I was doing it amymore, I was too busy having fun.

Ā 

Here are a few of the strategies I use to make things more fun not just for me, but those I’m speaking to as well.

Ā 

  • Arrive early. Take advantage of the stillness to speak to those there in a relaxed way, while you are ā€œwaitingā€ for the event to start. Often, that very first connection you make is the one you will circle back to before leaving and make sure you stay in touch with because you had such a nice discussion
  • Off

Is chat GPT now a psychologist?

Uncategorized Apr 01, 2025

I wrote a post for LI, all on my own šŸ˜‚, then ran it through Chat GPT with the question:

Ā 

ā€œDoes this add value to the LI community?ā€

Convinced I was going to get a

ā€œYes, good job Mandy.ā€
Pat on the back.

Ā 

Obviously that didn’t happen.

Ā 

Here is what it told me instead

Ā 

Your post has a reflective and personal tone, but its value to the LinkedIn (LI) community depends on its alignment with professional insights, leadership lessons, or business takeaways. Here’s an evaluation:Ā 

Ā 

### **Strengths:**Ā 

āœ… **Authenticity**

āœ… **Emotional Intelligence**

āœ… **Conflict Resolution**

Ā 

### **Areas for Improvement:**Ā 

šŸ”¹ **Lack of clear professional tie-in**

šŸ”¹ **Clarity & Structure** – The message meanders a bit.

šŸ”¹ **Less Defensive Tone** – While your response is measured, some phrases can still come across as defensive.

Ā 

### **Does It Add Value to LinkedIn?**Ā 

**Partially.**

Ā 

Great! I meander and I’m defensive šŸ™Š

I suppose Chat GPT has just become my psycologist ...

The Vision Board workshop helped clarify dreams and goals!

Uncategorized Apr 01, 2025

It was always going to be fun creating our vision boards, but when music, wine and a whole lot of laughter was added to the mix it turned positively therapeutic!Ā 


Judith led us through the process by first inviting us to reflect on or goals and getting very specific about our priorities. The discussions were insightful in themselves and helped clarify things already.Ā 

The next step is to trust our intuition when going through the images an without overthinking Strat to gather what resonates the most.Ā 

It was mostly laughter from there!

Here are a few impressions from the session:
"I’m laughing all over again looking at the pictures. Thank you so much for holding this session for us, it was wonderful."

"Judith - yesterday was great! Thank you very much for the organisation. I had a lovely time with all of you and feel inspired! I come out of this with all the fun vibes and I look forward to seeing it come to life!"

Phones at the ready for a quick QR code scan to stay connected in the LinkedIn world and then the bell was ringing for people to move on to a new partner!

18 months down the line - Throwback to "The Originals"!

Uncategorized Mar 27, 2025

šŸ’™ Throwback to Where It All Began

Back in September 2023, we launched the B-inspired Community!Ā 

šŸ’” 6 mastermind members in our very first group called "The Originals"
ā˜• No fixed space (just cafĆ©s and homes)

I was sure there was a way to break business isolation and go beyond the surface networking to build real connections that allow us to stay motivated and keep moving forward.

We all knew the feeling—meeting people, having a nice chat… but never truly going deeper. We wanted more:

āœ… Open and supportive conversations
āœ… Diverse thinking and collective intelligenceĀ 
āœ…Ā Accountability

Our first discussion was to create our community guidelines. It became clear that we were going for a culture of trust, kindness, honestly and collaboration. And what an amazing journey it’s been! šŸ’«

Since then we've come so far and seeing what this community has turned into 18 months down the line, I still feel it is aligned and on track when I think back to that first meeting and the culture we wanted ...
