Thriving in Troubled Times - Network Dublin Event

For women who work in business, the arts and the professions, Network Dublin is a fantastic organisation. I’ve been a member for over three years now and sat on the Committee for three years as PRO. It’s a welcoming, social network where women meet new people, make new contacts, renew older contacts and have a good time.

If you are around town tomorrow night, Wednesday, 15th April, from 6pm to 8.30pm, come along to the Herbert Park Hotel in Ballsbridge. Michael Comyn, renowned trainer and stress consultant, will be discussing ways in which to thrive in troubled times. And we all could do with a little of that!

I personally have seen Michael several times now and I always walk away inspired.

When is late in BNI terms?

I’m a member of the BNI - Business Networking International - and it has a strict code of policies that as members we all follow.

Last Thursday, I slept in. I woke up at 7am and realised with a start, that I was late for BNi.

But I got thinking later on that day - is turning up late better than non attendance?

For anyone who is a member of BNI, then I’d welcome your comments.

A few of my group mailed me back the following comments: (I’ll leave out the comments where they told me that they missed me!!!)

• “It’s better late than never”
• “If you arrive past 7am, then you’re marked absent”
• “Late is late.”

So I guess I made the right decision in pulling the duvet over my head and sleeping in until 8pm.

Best not be late next week.
