Step away from social media and access the online forum via an app (Heartbeat) on your phone or directly from your desktop.

They say you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket but when you’re part of a supported community and you can get the answers and support you need from one place, it makes your life more efficient.

This community is here to help you personally and professionally.  Whether you want to get feedback or advice on something or perhaps you need to let off some steam, the online forum is the place for you.

Pick my brains!

I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise, both personally and professionally.

I’ve worked in the UK and overseas within the corporate and SME industry and I launched my business during the summer of 2017.

As an example, you can ask me questions on starting a business, management, leadership, marketing, sales, pricing, ideas for your business, etc.  We can also talk about the foundations of a business, what’s important, imposter syndrome, shiny object syndrome, setting boundaries, etc.

That’s the professional stuff but I also have a lot of life experience and I can often relate to different situations.  I’m shy and an introvert, I have illnesses, I have been solo parenting since the start of 2018 to a little dude with autism and I understand the importance of work life balance because of all I am juggling.

The online forum is a place for asking for advice, feedback and for general chit-chat. 

Channels on the forum include:

• Welcome – announcements, general chit-chat, etc.
• Help!! – Feedback corner, no stupid questions, feeling stuck, guest speakers wanted.
• Accountability – accountability circle, make your ideas a reality.
•  Professional – networking, sounding board, mission/vision/values, team outsourcing.
• Social media – generic questions and separate threads for the different platforms.
• Tech and tools – Canva, favourite tech.
• Personal – vent, challenging times, proud moments, gift ideas, parenting, friendships, relationships, holidays.
• Health & wellbeing – health, mental health support, wellbeing ideas, pets.
• Fun – hobbies, celebrations, share a random photo!

It sounds a lot but over time, these will evolve.

I know what it’s like when you’re in a different time zone and/or you have meetings set on certain days and times that you can’t get out of.

With that in mind, the live events won’t have set days and times, each month they will vary.

The sessions will be relaxed and informal and some will have more of a drop-in approach for you to bring your questions and get feedback.

Events include:

• Networking happy hour
• Monthly hot-seat
• Accountability circle
• Drop-in Q&A sessions

The sessions will evolve based on your feedback and suggestions.

These sessions are only available to those with access all areas memberships.

Bring a drink, a snack and let’s get to know each other.

This will be informal and relaxed with no 60-second pitch.  It’s all about developing connections and having a break from everything that’s going on around you.

This session is for access all areas members only.

Hot seats are available to those that choose the Access All Areas membership.  

Each month, two members will get to be in the “hot seat”.  You will get to talk about 1-2 problems you’re looking to solve, while I and the rest of the community help you to solve those problems.

At the start of each week, we each define a max of 3 goals we’re trying to hit.

Towards the end of the week, post a gif or a comment to represent how far you got on your goals.

We have a catch-up call (for access all areas members) once a month to chat about what’s working, share advice, & support each other 

Since we’re just starting this out, this structure might change based on feedback & what’s working well.

Regular sessions will be added to the calendar for you to drop in and ask questions.

How often do you wonder how to do something in Canva or perhaps you’re struggling for social media ideas – this will be the time for you.

You can also ask for live feedback on your social profiles and website.  Of course, time will be limited, so it won’t be in-depth.

Do you ever have those moments where you’re wanting to dig deeper into a conversation thread? 

A couple of people are around and you think, I know, let’s have a quick video or voice call about it?  Well, that can all be done within the app!

How cool is that?!!

This feature will only be available to those that join the access all areas membership.

When you connect with people and you build relationships, that’s when the magic happens.  

Connection and collaboration is encouraged but only if you want to.

Once members are settled in, via the forum there will be opportunities to match-up with new people on a monthly basis.  You can opt into it and hold each other accountable.

I think it will be a fusion of minds and experience.

I actively welcome your ideas and views.  

If you think something would be a great idea or if something doesn’t really work for you, tell me, I won’t be offended.  

Over time, I might create a Community Advisory Board for you to drop in an to share your views.
