Adam Shereston (Horse Whisperer) is Demonstrating his wonderful Techniques on the 22nd January!

Adam is opening to the public on Sunday the 22nd of January from 11am until 5pm to demonstrate his wonderful skills with horses. He is currently working with a horse who has lost one eye to help it gain confidence once more and learn to deal with its disability. I have seen Adam do this before and it is a wonderful experience. Horses as big as they are need the care and attention as our beloved animals we own, and are extremely sensitive creatures. To watch him at work is educating and stimulating as he uses his spirituality and skill to gain a horses trust.

Many refer to Adam as a Horse Whisperer because, through his heightened sensitivity he is able to hear a horse’s whisper. This ability has enabled him to develop an original approach to the way in which we interact with horses. Adam’s work ethic with horses is to have good feel, intuition, balance and timing to create a partnership based on trust, respect and understanding.

Out in the fresh air watching Adam work is a wonderful day out for all the family. Everyone is welcome and a donation would be appreciated. If you wish to know more about Adam’s work and his new stables then you can contact him through his website http://www.adamshereston.com/

I have a full car load to go to the event, but anyone wishing to follow us are welcome! If anyone gets lost you can call Adam on 637115768.

The place does’nt come up on google maps, but its easy to find. AP7 towards Alhama De Murcia,when you are bypassing Alhama take the RM2 towards Cartagena, come off at junction 8(via de servico road) Take first exit at roundabout, come back on yourself and take the first left, you will find us on the right a few 100 yards after you have turned.

Very Important! – Price Misprint – Company Women Lunch Thursday 1st December!

First of all apologies for the price misprint!! I have been informed that this extra special lunch is 20 euros to members and guests! Not 25 to non members! And don’t forget to read about the goodies and fun on the day! There are a few places left, so it is not too late to send you menu to secrtary@companywomen.org! The more the merrier!

Company Women are doing it in style this year with some added fun,  gifts and a fantastic speaker,  not to be missed….you will remember this one for sure!! and we have a Man joining us…..good luck to him!!!

Well! Here it is! Merry Christmas everyone, the Company Women committee has organized a fantastic Company Women Lunch at Stan and Ollies Restaurant in El Raso, so put the Thursday 1st of December in your diary now, from 1pm till 5pm. This year it will be more of a Christmas party, with welcome cocktails courtesy of LICOR 43, this will get us in the party mood followed by a delicious 3 course lunch (please choose from the menu below) followed by a Spanish coffee with a twist – again courtesy of LICOR 43.

As it is Christmas we will be mixing the networking with magic by Graham Mikial, and our speaker Dave Bull from All Abroad, will keep the party going as usual by entertaining us with his take on Spain and “The trials and tribulations of running a business in a mans world”!

Although it’s Christmas, please don’t forget your business cards and promotional material – the lunches are a great way to mix business with pleasure, and create more contacts.

We have Santa dropping in, a bumper raffle on the day plus, Secret Santa and a few surprises! Please bring a gift wrapped present for one of your fellow company women, the budget is 5 euro per present per person – the gift can be funny, girly or luxury food – just be sure to bring a present! Or our Santa will not be happy!

We look forward to welcoming you all at Stan and Ollies, please reserve your booking as we have only 30 places.

On another note my personal thanks to all of the ladies that supported the Lifestyle and ExpoFiesta 2011 Exhibitions it was great to see you all there and I know that much in the way of business has been generated also for Company Women as an organization which gained a substantial amount of leads to be followed up, over to the committee.

Another date for your diary is the 10th December for SOL Productions Charity Children’s Christmas Party hosted by Fairways in the Villamartin Plaza, if you would like to bring a child’s present with you to the lunch myself, Priscilla and Karen will ensure the children will receive them.

November Lunch Report

Our latest networking lunch this month was at The Square, Villamartin, with speakers Lyn Patterson from ‘That Free Thing’, which seems it may be the next BIG thing to hit the Costa Blanca, where simply by registering, you can obtain discounts and vouchers for all sorts of free things, and Shirley Adams from Lloyds Bank International who gave some very interesting information on their current deposit rates, their new current account, and  Treasury Department in Madrid for making currency transfers.  One lucky lady was presented with a bag of Lloyds Bank International Goodies.

It was a very busy lunch with some serious networking, just read the latest comment from Cathryn who attended for the 1st time, can came away with several leads for new business, on our website www.companywomen.org.

Our host Karen Love (vice-president), stood in for our president Gina Marks, who was unfortunately was poorly, and reported on the success of the Expo Fiesta in Alicante, where several company women members had stands.  Thanks was given to those who manned the Company Women Stand at the Expo.  Enquiries from ladies they met at the show, will be followed up over the next few weeks.  The Expo was a wonderful opportunity to broaden the scope of Company Women, and reach new ladies from other areas, who are looking for the networking and support Company Women offers.

Next is our Christmas Lunch at Stan & Ollies, El Raso, where we have a wonderful party planned, including a magician, Santa and what will be an entertaining talk from Dave Bull of All Abroad magazine.

Karen also announced the categories for The Company Women Awards 2011/12, and some of the sponsors.  Nominations forms are being to be received already.  So if you know of Lady in Business, who deserves special recognition, please visit our website on www.companywomen.org and nominate her – she doesn’t have to be a member of company women.

Food and service from The Square was excellent and one comment from one of our ladies on the food, was what ‘luscious liver’

Cathryn from Crown Jewels Spain Testimonial!

What a nice response from a lady who came to her first lunch! This was emailed to me shortly after!

Hope you are well this morning. First of all, thank you for making me feel so welcome yesterday, I had a lovely time meeting all the lovely ladies in the group. I was thrilled at just how eager you were to help me. This is my first business in Spain and I think that with ladies such as yourselves to meet up with and be in contact with regularly, I need have no worries whatsoever!

The Red Hat Ladies are on my “To Contact” list but obviously, if you are friendly with them, it would be superb if I could be introduced via you.

Also, if you could let me know a little nearer the time, a rough estimate on  numbers of ladies for the 1st bash at Stan and Ollies so I can bring products accordingly.

One last thing too, please would you give me a price on business cards – double sided, maybe 500.

Many thanks, and I’ll look forward to seeing you very soon,

Cathryn xxx

News! How Important is Social Media for your business!?

The Company Women Website reached no.3 on the first page of Google when you search ‘women in business in Spain’ and our Facebook page now has 62 followers……Facebook now has more than 500 million users and the CW Facebook page has only 4 or 5 of us actively using it….the point is to promote your business on the page! I have personally searched through and found members pages and put as CW’s favourites!

Always look at the bigger picture!

Every member has the opportunity to become an administrator, and in doing so you can invite all your contacts, as well as posting your special offers etc…..it is very effective networking!

All you need to do is ‘like it’…and comment on peoples posts. For example I post all my recent work on there because I want you all to know what I do and this also supports my clients! I had 190 impressions on one post I posted about my blog on Egyptian cotton, 95 on another and 52 on my most recent…that means people are looking!

The point is, to use it…it is another window for your business to be promoted and acknowledged!

You can make it one of your favourite pages…you will get more impressions!

Any news, or opinions are good……stuff you are doing for charity, a new venture, good ideas….news etc!

Lets keep it active and alive, a hive of info, recommendations and above all lets all keep in touch online….for free!

Anything you have to say, or anything about your business, and of course you can continue networking online!

Remember these are your free tools as members…..it would be nice to see more of you participating in such 2 valuable assets! These are JUST 2 of the benefits of being a member!

There is no such thing as a free lunch….but look beyond that and see the free windows of opportunity!

lets get 200 more liker’s by the new year……can’t be that difficult out of 500 million active users!

the Facebook page is Company Women…..and we are also on twitter CWSpain!

(All of your web posts on the CW website can be transferred to the FB page easily…..I have continually offered free training in this area on the website…it really is not rocket science! And you get to learn a new skill) I also have a step by step guide I can send you! I can do the SEO side, all you need to do is put on the post!

Kind regards

Belinda
