Your Power Network - Influential Businesswomen 2023 Awards Winner CEO Founder Emotionism-Art.co.uk

Business is at the heart of everything I do. My ability to tackle day-to-day demands, develop lucrative pipelines through invaluable partnerships and grow business networks, is essentially a key tool to sustainable growth through strategic partnerships through business developments.

The business world is a diverse landscape, full of fruitful opportunities which cross-pollinates through various sectors. Imagine if a Fashion Brand could partner with an Airline Company or an Olympics Team. Imagine if a fashion brand could make those important connections beyond the fashion world.

Building your network across a diverse range of consumer markets to reach niche consumer needs is important for sustainable growth. Making the key decision to open new pathways is the first step and it actually begins with a connection.

My networks reach 2 million+ companies & organisations across the globe. There is nothing that we cannot accomplish together. Today, I have the honour and privilege to discuss one of my network connections.

Aspire for Equality

About a year ago, I became familiar with the most inspirational business network CEO and team in the UK. Aspire for Equality is an international businesswomen lead organisation, who empower and inspire business people male and female to propel and lead across their business sectors.

The CEO of Aspire for Equality Dr Sam Collins is passionate about inspiring and connecting industry leaders to work together in equality. I am part of their network, and will be working with them within their business campaigns, as well as a speaker at their distinguished Aspire House located in London.

Dr Sam Collins founded Aspire in 2001, she has been named “One of the Top 200 Women to Impact Business and Industry” by her late Majesty The Queen , “One of the Top 10 Coaches in the UK” by the Independent on Sunday and “A Woman Shaping the World” by CNN by award winning Dr.

One of the most important decisions within any business sector is knowing who to connect with.

For everyone attending the Dharte Fashion and Wellness Expo on Thurs 15th Feb 2024 this is the start of what could be a most exciting and interesting business year ahead.
