From chocolate shops to accessing a GP or therapist

Social media is just as active as it was in “the old world” - and more so!

Beyond social media – from chocolate shops to accessing a GP or therapist today.

Whether or not total lockdown ends soon, and whether or not you believe the decisions taken by government are for the right reasons, the simple fact is that business goes on either way.  Fortunately, I’m delighted that the businesses within my social circles and networking communities have – on the whole – survived so far and most are thriving.

My clients’ social media is just as active as in “the old world” – with some putting in more investment to ensure they’re ready to soar again once lockdown does eventually end properly.

It’s been interesting to see what kinds of businesses each government around the world has deemed “essential” throughout the lockdown, and which they’re planning to reopen next.  In France, chocolate shops have remained open, in Australia toy shops made the list and – perhaps surprisingly – in America, some states deemed gun shops as essential! Spanish hairdressers continued to work throughout – I must admit that I miss mine, and not just because she’s been my friend for over 40 years!

So it’s been a natural step throughout these past few weeks of our reliance on the Internet to keep social media marketing at the forefront of business activities. But what about other aspects of business? And what about our health, wealth, sanity and hapiness?

Financial Planning

The info about chocolate shops, toy stores and guns comes from the office of one of the Times’ Top 100 Financial Advisors of 2019. Andrzej Borkowski is a Chartered Wealth Manager who explains very nicely in plain English what financial planning in these uncertain times actually means, without the financial gobbledygook.

Renée is an amazing writer who is the author of some fantastic blogs… very informal and conversational, she talks TO the reader rather than at them. She uses a lot of humour, she doesn't take herself too seriously and isn't scared to laugh at herself; a bit of naughtiness included too for added spice(!)… I asked Renee to help me understand SEO and how to improve my site. We had a one to one session in which she explained in detail everything I needed to know. Her explanation was clear and fully understandable, which was great for me as I had no previous knowledge of SEO or social marketing. I left our meeting confident of what I needed to do in order to boost my site, which is exactly what I wanted to gain from the session... Renée is the most friendly and professional person I have ever worked with. She is an asset to any company and brings a new insight into training.

Delegates came away from the training sessions with vital new skills and a better understanding of how they could communicate more clearly… Renée was able to run these sessions in such a way as to make them both informative and enjoyable. I was remarkably impressed with Renee’s professionalism and expertise and can honestly say that she helped us achieve 100% of the targets we had set ourselves. I would have no hesitation in recommending her… Renée demonstrates outstanding oral presentation skills and has an enthusiastic approach to the subject which promotes motivation and participation between learners...
