Meet Claire Newell
I joined the Athena Network as a member in 2008 when I first became self employed. Excited and also nervous, I went to my first Athena Network meeting and never looked back.
In 2010, I purchased the franchise for the North East Oxfordshire Athena Network region as I loved everything that Athena stood for. It had such a positive impact on not only my business, Body ReNewell Health and Wellbeing, but who I am as a woman.
People often hear me say, ‘I wouldn’t be the woman I am today, had I not been part of the Athena Network’ and I am so grateful and privileged to be surrounded by such a wonderful community.
With a background in the Health and Wellness industry, and having grown a successful therapy business through word of mouth, I appreciate the importance of building strong relationships with clients, colleagues, contacts, suppliers etc. Building a conscious network I believe is key to success and supporting members to achieve this themselves is what I love to do.
Supporting members to make connections that will result in business and personal growth along with helping them to become confident networkers, with a Network Strategy that is in line with their vision and objectives is what I strive to achieve.
Our Online group meetings mean that there are endless opportunities to meet and connect with other professional Business Women, who like you, are committed to their business and want to build strong, reliable, authentic business relationships.
Being online also allows our members so much freedom to virtually travel and be part of another group meeting with the use of PASS+. It also means that we can access valuable expertise and for those members who love to speak and deliver value packed training sessions, they are no longer restricted by location.
I also host monthly face to face Informal Networking events for our members which are more relaxed and really support the growth of the relationships formed online.
Our members become each others Walking, Talking, Ambassadors, and being part of a group not only feels like you have your very own Board of Directors that can support you in achieving your goals, they also genuinely want to see everyone succeed together and generously share knowledge and expertise between themselves.
Unsure whether being part of the Athena Network is for you?
Let’s have a conversation and explore what feels the best option for you and your business.
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
