Open and informal local business networking in Staffordshire

Connects is a not-for-profit, relaxed and informal networking opportunity facilitated by number of local business owners in the Staffordshire area who enjoy bringing people together and promoting the many positive aspects of local community.

Each month, we carefully choose our guest speakers who have success stories, interesting projects and events to share that are happening on our doorstep.

Whether you're a local entrepreneur, business owner or organisation, all are welcome to our network meeting, and there are no fees to attend, so be sure to bring your business cards and share the event with others who might be interested.

Guest Speaker

Our guest speaker for this session is Sarah Watson. Sarah has worked as an Occupational Therapist for over 20 years, specialising in Older People’s Mental Health. Laterally, Sarah went on to complete Anxiety Management training, gaining a diploma in the STILL method (which stands for Stop, Talk, Imagine, Listen and Learn), and broadened her scope further by training to become a STILL Pain Coach.

Founding UNSHRINKABLE, Ltd. Sarah now offers engaging and bespoke Anxiety Management and Chronic Pain Coaching courses to individuals, schools and businesses. This session “Busy … but not burnt-out!” will allow you to experience some practical tips and strategies that can help you to cope with life’s pressures and demands.
