    Secure branding helps with networking

    Sarah White is a Personal Branding and Visibility Mentor, Speaker and Networking Host, supporting business owners to build a brand that reflects who they are and what they stand for. Sarah struggled in business for a long time, expecting her work to speak for itself and not wanting to be around other business owners for fear of being judged and feeling inferior. When she did try networking though, the power of letting people get to know the person behind the business became clear, and Sarah has since built her business around helping others to do just that! Her clients are already good at what they do, but struggle to communicate it clearly or show up consistently without feeling uncomfortable or ‘salesy.’ Sarah helps people to define what makes them different, own their strengths, and find a way of being visible that feels natural and sustainable. Her focus is on helping them to connect with the right people, not just more people, so their business can grow in a way that feels aligned, purposeful and genuinely impactful. Sarah has a free resource which explains the 5 Key Things Missing From Your Visibility Strategy.

    Create a niche to make yourself memorable

    Paul Westlake (Westy) is on a mission to make learning actually work – not just tick boxes. As Digital Director at PeopleUnboxed and Customer Success Director at BentoBot (BentoBot.com) – a spaced repetition solution that makes learning stick – Westy transforms how organisations develop their people. He also hosts the popular PeopleUnplugged podcast, where he unpacks what really works in L&D. But here's the thing: Westy didn't start in a boardroom. He spent five years in the trenches delivering face-to-face leadership training before leading McDonald's UK through a complete digital L&D transformation – designing learning experiences for 120,000 employees who didn't have time to waste on forgettable training. That experience taught him something crucial: great learning solutions need to work for both the L&D team and the people actually using them. It's like designing a car that's brilliant to drive but also easy to maintain – both sides matter. After his McDonald's decade, Westy moved supplier-side with Kineo, where he designed award-winning learning solutions for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Compass Group, and Mitchells & Butlers. He also hosted Kineo's "Stream of Thought" podcast, proving that learning geeks can be entertaining. His superpower? Combining analytical and creative thinking to challenge the status quo. He doesn't just ask "what training do you need?" – he asks "what actually needs to change?" Then he builds blended solutions that genuinely shift behaviours and deliver results. When he's not empowering L&D teams to be heroes, Paul's an award-winning wedding photographer whose company sponsors a race car. So his weekends are an unlikely mix of grease, spanners, running shoes, camera lenses, and bass guitar riffs. He lives with his wife and two daughters, who've learnt that Dad's enthusiasm for digital learning is matched only by his enthusiasm for... pretty much everything else.

    Regulating the nervous system helps with networking!
