Justin Wharmby, our regular photographer, has captured a ‘moment’ that defines what The Boardroom Network means to me: strong relationships nurtured by regular connection – leading to a culture of ‘know-like-trust’ upon a foundation of really good humour. Of course, Anthony Marshall and Sam Dyer (above) are known for their wonderful smiles, but they are […]
Farther Flexmas
Memories are made of this… The Bournemouth TBN Christmas meeting was memorable, merry, and magical… and a testament to the flexibility of members, organisers, and presenters! You can cut the power, but you can’t cut the energy! A power-cut that took out a sizeable portion of Bournemouth for more than the usual moments triggered a […]
AIM High
AIM High High Post, Salisbury, seemed the ideal name for the location for TBN Solstice’s Keynote Luncheon. Why? Because aiming high was the common theme of our four presentations. If AIM was an acronym, it would be: Action Inspiration Motivation. If I may begin with the last first, Michael Collins entertained us with his tale […]
Design Diligence Delight and Development
On Design, Diligence, Delight and Development The high energy we’ve come to expect from our meetings was once again in evidence at the November Solent event. Our table ambassadors did an outstanding job of ensuring high engagement around the tables, and Jay kept us moving at an exciting pace, keeping a keen eye on the […]
We Thrive At Five
On the 1st day of November, The Boardroom Network – Bournemouth – celebrated its 5th anniversary. With delicious, TBN branded chocolates from Michael Collins, the buzzing breakfast meeting enjoyed a well-deserved taste of success. Connection is at the heart of what TBN stands for, and there is no connection without continuity. For this reason, it […]
Compassion, Car-Leasing, and Capturing the Imagination
Networking Works Well When You Play Your Cards Right As you can see from our headline image, Darren Coates and Jay Rachet wove wit and humour into our October business breakfast at The Stones Hotel, for TBN Solstice. Another great photo from Justin Wharmby! It was dark and misty outside but plenty of light laughter […]
Getting To Know You
If you’re like me, you’ll feel ‘at home’ with The Boardroom Network. One good reason for that is the opportunity created to get to know one another at each event. Classy networking is about building relationships rather than providing a pitchfest. Of course, it’s not about charity or just a jolly – we’re all here […]
Protect Prepare Persist and Present Yourself
These are the smiling faces of Bournemouth TBN’s Ambassadors for October – left to right, top row first: Simon Head, Simon Steele-Williams, Richard Mack, Jamie Forster, Graham Down, Justin Cohen, Chris Palmer, and Denise Ward. A big “Thank You!” to all our Ambassadors – the catalysts that help each meeting flow to a successful conclusion. […]
It Is About Time
To say our Breakfast meeting at the Solent Hotel and Spa was ‘time well spent’ can be clearly seen from this great moment captured by Justin Wharmby, our Photographer-in-Residence. There were so many photos from today’s shoot that show faces full of joy… and that at about 8 am on a Friday morning! Something must […]
Fiery Start to Autumn
We had a fiery start to the Autumn Season with the grim tale of Barbecued Bony Bob and other great presentations. In fact, it was a bit like a new School Term! Looking at the ‘Class of Table 8’ above, one wonders if they knew Bony Bob! Whilst our members are certainly influenced by the […]
