First Enterprise in Heels Event this term a Success

On Wednesday 17th February, Create hosted the first Enterprise in Heels event this term.

40 female students came together with succesful regional entrepreneurs for an afternoon of inspiration and fun last Wednesday.

The aim of the event was to teach female students the best way to network and to give them some practical tips to take away with them.

L to R: Rachel Haslam, Catherine Eve, Lizzie Whatley and Maureen Fearon

The afternoon was kicked off with a presentation by Catherine, who explained that although there may be many barriers to networking, especially for females, the benefits of making new relationships in this way are many. Rachel then taught the students some fun ways to raise self-confidence, and encouraged us to do something every day that scared us!

Pushing comfort zones… with balloons!

Maureen finished off the afternoon by making sure we understood there’s no such thing as “can’t”!

The next event will be Speed Networking on Wednesday 3rd March. Places are quickly filling up, to book yours email Lizzie now to avoid disappointment!
