When networking brings everything to you with Mary Flavelle Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

Mary has years of networking experience, having worked at the Chamber of Commerce for a number of years. She later moved into running her own networking business which she focussed on women. She used to watch ladies watch struggling at networking events, because they lacked confidence, so thus Ladies Who Latte was born. Meeting up, once a month for a coffee and chat. Now 20 years later, it has grown beyond imagination. It costs nothing to attend, no membership fees, no advertising. It has grown on word of mouth and dedicated volunteers who shared the same dream.

Mary got to achieve her own personal dream too: when she showed interested in radio aged 15, she was turned down as the job was only done by men .(1960’s) Years later via networking, she was asked to join a local Community Radio station. She has been with Marlow fm 97.5 for 11 years now and is the Coordinator of all the morning Shows with a team of 25 Presenters. She has her own show twice a month.

Laurent Notin - stop being the bottleneck in your business! Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

Laurent is a French national who left France at 23, spent 20 years in South-East Asia, before relocating to Finland in the summer of 2019.

His professional background is in market research and advertising, where he ran small businesses of up to 150 people across 3 countries.

His father was an entrepreneur, and so was his own father. Laurent has always worked for entrepreneurs himself (the kind that gives you the keys and asks you to run their business on their behalf as if it were yours), then became a shareholder in the last company he was managing before starting his own entrepreneurship journey.

Laurent has always cared more about others than about himself. He's developed a passion for coaching, mentoring, advising, and training people throughout the years. Combined with his entrepreneurial mindset, becoming a coach to entrepreneurs just made sense.

Today, Laurent's goal is simple: making entrepreneurs better at their job by protecting them from the biggest issue they face, becoming the bottleneck in their businesses!
