It was by chance that I met Patricia Benjamin (the organiser/host of the evening) on Facebook and got invited to this lively event. Patricia is a Life Coach (of Capital Life Coaching ) and holds these events quarterly in the City. This particular event was held at DeSantis Wine Bar in Old Street.
The event, 'A Girls Night In' was seperated into 3 sessions:
1. The Introduction and Icebreaker where the ladies did short introductions of each other to the main group.
2. An Inspirational Chat with Patricia Benjamin on women realising our worth and investing time and money in ourselves-an activity for ourselves at least once a week and once a month was recommended.
3.Guest presenters who spoke on various topics, told their personal stories or read self-penned poetry
There was also a session by Donna Spence, an excellent comedienne.
All in all this was a fun and lively event that had us all laughing at times, or dabbing a tear from our eyes at other times. Especially touching was the 'thank you' session where women were encouraged to say thanks to friends, colleagues or family members that had supported them through difficult times or had lent a helping hand when it was most needed.
What was the highlight of the evening for me? The chocolate fountain of course! Mmmmmmm! Another highlight for me was being able to meet and network with some lovely ladies.
Thanks for inviting me to this inspirational and uplifting event Patricia, I look forward to the next one!
