Netwalking - Let's Talk & Walk

Netwalking at Cosmeston Park:

Meet other representatives, network with your team or simple join like-minded people for a gentle walk and talk. It can sometimes feel lonely running your own business, your friends and family might not get it so you don't speak to them about it, or you're so busy fitting in work and family stuff that you never get time to catch up with friends or try something new. Research shows that walking helps to increase creative thinking, so whether you're looking for fresh ideas for your business or personal life these sessions will be a great place to start. Talk about work or not it really doesn't matter but during the walk, we will explore various topics that can help with your personal and professional development. 10 am.
