Hi, I’m Joanne, Author, Sage Business Expert and multi-award winning, 40 year old coffee lover who lives in rural Dorset with my long-suffering partner (*edit as of July 2022 upgraded to Husband!) and our three children. When I’m not writing, teaching or networking I am partial to a bag of crisps and a crime drama.
I’ve been organising networking opportunities since 2009 when I soon realised that in order to grow my business I needed to network but finding events to fit around 2 babies was incredibly difficult. So I started my own. One of my biggest joys and passions is using networking as a tool for collaboration, health, and wellbeing, alongside business development. I love sharing and providing others with the skills and/or opportunities to be a Networking Ninja.
A Networking Ninja creates a circle of influence around them to help achieve their goals. Through bold networking strategies, they effectively build quality meaningful relationships. A Networking Ninja is always ready to share information, give advice and connect people.
Social Media Marketing – Facebook is my favourite platform 
Basic SEO – I love helping businesses learn the small tips and tricks that can really help grow their business organically.
Blogging – I love blogging and my blog has enabled me to write 2 books – Crafting A Successful Small Business (2012) and Networking A Successful Small Business (2020). Blogging is a great way to enhance your expertise in your genre and build an engaged customer base.
