SUMMARY:Women in Business Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together female business leaders from a wide range of industries\, the Women in Business Lunch creates an empowering space to connect\, share experiences\, and gain fresh perspectives. This popular event is proudly hosted by Kingston Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Time & Leisure Magazine. \nPerfect for businesswomen in South West London and beyond\, the lunch offers the chance to build meaningful relationships in a relaxed setting while enjoying a delicious two-course meal and an inspiring talk from our guest speaker. \nGuest Speaker \n \nWe are delighted to welcome Tessa Parry-Wingfield\, Founder & CEO of The Power of Words\, as the WIB Lunch guest speaker. \nTessa is Founder and CEO of The Power of Words\, a global communications consultancy – bringing together twenty-five years’ experience in broadcast journalism\, B2B comms and PR. She’s also a professional speaker and storyteller on the topic of ‘Seeing Life Clearly – following a shock diagnosis of rare eye cancer in 2023. She’s appeared in The Times\, Stylist and on BBC Women’s Hour. \nTalk Topic:  Seeing life clearly: How to turn adversity into opportunity… \nFollowing an exciting career in TV newsrooms\, Tessa started The Power of Words as an all-woman writer collective\, noticing that fellow middle-aged women often felt less welcome in the workspace\, despite oodles of talent and experience. But this is not the only story… \nWhile out running two years’ ago\, Tessa noticed slightly dodgy vision. Just three weeks later\, she had her entire left eye removed due to a rare form of eye cancer. The experience has been terrifying\, but Tessa has channelled her trauma into purposeful energy – from growing her business to teaching others about how to move from rock bottom to resilience. In this talk\, she hopes to impart some insightful lessons on ‘Seeing life clearly’. \nVenue: \nThe Mitre Hotel\, known for its exceptional standards\, provides a buffet-style Brunch with continental options. Additionally\, The Mitre has generously offered a complimentary ticket to Hampton Court Palace for each guest. \nThe venue is easily accessible by car or public transport\, with the nearest train station\, Hampton Court\, and bus routes (111\, 216\, and 411)\, just a 3-minute walk away from the venue.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Rethink | Essential skills that AI can’t replace
DESCRIPTION:In this new\, exciting programme of online\, bite-size webinars\, we will explore the importance of essential skills in our personal behaviour and business life\, areas that AI can’t replace. \nEssential skills in business are the personal\, social\, and communication abilities that influence how we work\, interact\, and succeed with others – rather than just the technical tasks we can perform. They determine how effectively we connect with colleagues or customers\, how we handle complex workplace situations and how they can help us succeed and grow. \nThese sessions are designed to help you: \n\nstrengthen communication and listening skills\nimprove self-awareness and emotional intelligence\nwork more effectively with others\nrespond constructively to change and pressure\nbuild confidence in leadership and decision-making\n\nKey examples of business essential skills include: \n\nCommunication – clear speaking\, writing\, and active listening\nEmotional intelligence – self-awareness\, empathy\, managing emotions\nTeamwork & collaboration – working well with diverse people\nAdaptability – handling change\, learning quickly\nProblem-solving & critical thinking – analysing situations and making sound decisions\nTime management – prioritising tasks and meeting deadlines\nLeadership & influence – motivating\, guiding\, and resolving conflict\n\nWhy do essential skills matter in business? \n\nThey improve productivity and teamwork\nThey support effective leadership and customer relations\nThey are often a key factor in career advancement\nThey are critical for business success and growth\n\n  \nFebruary Webinar \nThis session will be facilitated by Giselle Monbiot\, a Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner trained by Dr. Gabor Maté\, a trauma-release specialist\, and an advanced breathwork facilitator. Giselle will guide us through the value of empathy (and why it is different from sympathy)\, how we can recognise it and provide practical steps to how we can develop the skill. \nWhy is empathy important in business?\nEmpathy in business means understanding and considering the feelings\, perspectives\, and needs of customers\, employees\, and partners. It is important because it directly improves relationships\, decision-making\, and long-term success. Empathy can allow us to see situations from multiple and develop creative solutions. It may not be obvious\, but empathy is an essential and under-valued skill in how we all work with our colleagues\, business partners and suppliers. \nAbout Giselle Monbiot\nGiselle is Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner trained by Dr. Gabor Maté\, a trauma-release specialist\, and an advanced breathwork facilitator. Through years of professional work\, she has gathered a powerful and integrative toolkit that helps untangle the emotional patterns\, coping mechanisms\, and self-doubt that can keep us stuck. \n  \nRegister your interest today to rethink\, hear advice from the experts\, and strengthen your essential skills. \n  \nThis session will be recorded and made available exclusively to Chamber members.

SUMMARY:Business Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss our upcoming Business Breakfast event\, taking place at the Esquires Coffee\, Kingston. This event is the perfect opportunity to meet and connect with other like-minded individuals from various industries and business sizes\, while learning from our expert guest speakers and enjoying a delicious breakfast buffet. \nGuest Speakers: \nTopic: Short\, practical “performance lens” on the workplace \nJosh will deliver a short\, practical “performance lens” on the workplace: why many organisations still optimise for presence and utilisation (where people are)\, rather than the conditions that enable people to think clearly\, collaborate well and recover properly (how people perform when they’re there). SME leaders will leave with a simple framework and a handful of low-cost actions they can apply immediately to improve energy\, focus and productivity across office and hybrid working – and a clear sense of how workplace decisions can become a lever for performance and retention\, not just a cost line. \nJosh Jackman is a human performance and workplace strategy specialist who helps SME leaders build the conditions for sustainable high performance – for themselves and their teams. He began his career providing scientific support to elite athletes and has spent the last 8+ years translating those principles into the realities of modern work: energy\, focus\, decision quality\, collaboration\, and recovery. Josh is a Kingston Business School Help to Grow: Management alumni (2023) and works with leaders to make practical\, evidence-led changes that improve performance without sacrificing health or happiness.   \n  \n \nWe are delighted to be also joined by the inspiring Katherine Greening of the Anstee Bridge. Katherine has a Masters in Social\, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties and works in the challenging sector of young people and mental health\, putting wellbeing and education first. Her drive and resilience\, in highly challenging circumstances\, is remarkable as she utilises business approaches to deliver their social aims. Katherine set up Anstee Bridge in 2008 and prior to this\, she ran a course for vulnerable young people called Pathfinders at Kingston College. \nAnstee Bridge is a not-for-profit creative provision supporting young people aged 11–16 with social\, emotional\, and mental health challenges that place them at risk of disengaging from education. Through bespoke\, student-led creative programmes delivered in partnership with local artists\, emergency services\, and nationally recognised cultural institutions including the Royal Academy of Arts\, the National Archives\, Kew Gardens\, the Imperial War Museum and Saatchi Gallery\, we rebuild confidence\, develop practical and emotional skills\, and support successful progression back into education\, training and future prospects. \n  \nAgenda: \n• 8.30am: Registration opens\, accompanied by a selection of coffee and tea\, as well as a breakfast buffet. \n• The first part of the morning is dedicated to networking\, where you can mingle and engage in conversations with new and familiar contacts. \n• 9.00am: Welcome speech\, followed by Guest Talks. \n• 9.40am : Open discussion\, allowing for inquiries from the audience to be addressed. \n• Following the presentations\, there will be further networking time.
