As a result of this, she went back to school and retrained in nutrition, weight management, naturopathy and behavioural change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She is passionate about educating women on how to implement easy strategies into their lives so they and their families can live a healthier life in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her talk, titled \u201cHormone Harmony to Maximise your Personal and Professional Goals\u201d will empower women to embrace their hormones rather than fear them. It will help women to understand how each of the hormones respond in their body and more importantly, how to use their hormones to their advantage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When women work with their hormones, rather than against them, it opens up a whole new world of opportunity. When this happens, women will become more successful in their personal, physical, and professional life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sandra said: \u201cWhen I first joined the network, I was terrified of going to networking events. However, the community is so welcoming, that I grew to look forward to going to them and now embrace them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMAW has given me the confidence to network and perfect my 60 second introduction so I can now do it anywhere with ease. I highly recommend this network to any woman who is thinking about joining it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tina Calder, founder and chief vision officer of Excalibur Press began her career in journalism. In more recent years, she has become an expert in sales conversion, copywriting, thought leadership, brand storytelling, and content and marketing strategy, as well as being a trainer and speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tina uses her own unique and creative approach to stimulate innovative thinking and idea creation which goes beyond the traditional corporate constraints while keeping a focus on strategic objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In her talk, \u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Building A Personal Brand: The Importance Of Standing Out From The Crowd\u2019, she will be taking you on a whirlwind tour of the importance of building a personal brand and revealing her top tips, tricks and techniques for standing out and being memorable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Along with examples from her own personal journey, Tina will outline the pitfalls and risks of raising your profile whilst demonstrating the opportunities and benefits of taking the leap into the public eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She said: \u201cI hope that my talk will help businesswoman understand the importance of a personal brand and why it\u2019s more important than ever before to consider how you present yourself to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBeing authentic is a buzz phrase used so often these days that people forget what it really means, learning to be your authentic self whilst carrying a personal brand can often be a daunting experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI hope attendees at the Mums At Work Elevate Your Business event will go away feeling much more confident about crafting and honing their personal brand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year\u2019s event will also include a panel discussion hosted by TEDX speaker and entrepreneur Emma Weaver of Mental Wealth International.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taking to the panel are Stefany Watson from Digital Ghost NI and Maria McLaughlin and Roisin McAteer from Admin Answers NI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking of the session, Maria said: \u201cI hope women who are attending can identify with our experiences of running and setting up in business as well as get some good hints\/tips on being more organised in their business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the panel attendees will get the opportunity to ask questions about how to move forward in their business, troubleshoot your processes or simply find out something they&#8217;ve been wanting to know about admin, marketing or digital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Mums At Work Director Danielle Norton, Elevate Your Business is an opportunity for women to \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">exchange ideas, share experiences, and learn from one another\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She added: \u201cThe purpose of the Elevate Your Business events is for women to have a chance to meet other women who are looking to grow their businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt is a welcoming and supportive environment for women to feel comfortable and gain confidence.\u00a0 We hope the attendees will make new connections, receive referrals and increase their brand visibility. We also hope they leave feeling inspired and motivated by our speakers who will give valuable insight and tips on how to take your business to the next level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>For more information, to book a ticket or a stand at the Elevate Your Business event on March 25th go to &gt;&gt; <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/MAWelevatePress\"><b><i>https:\/\/bit.ly\/MAWelevatePress<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> or search for the event on Eventbrite.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A whole host of local entrepreneurs are set to take to the stage at the Mums At Work Elevate Your Business event later this month.
