If 96% of UK charities describe themselves as "small", is it time to start redefining what we mean by 'small charities'? Surely the term 'small charity' must bear some relation to the size of charities more broadly. You can't say a rhino is a small animal simply because it's much smaller than a blue whale. It would be absurd to say France is a small country because Canada is so much bigger. So why do we persist in considering charities with 20 salaried staff and a turnover of £1m a year "small". Your thoughts please! #NonProfitNetworking #SocialGood #CharityInnovation #NonProfitLeadership #CharityWorkshops

Really great to be out and about again this week after struggling with a nasty virus since Christmas. Cotswold Networking was on Wednesday and I've arranged a few 1:1's on the back of it with Lawyers and other coaches. There is no doubt that giving people the opportunity to meet me and talk to me in person adds huge value to my business. My success is totally based on me - personality, my style of communication, my integrity, trustworthiness and authenticity. I'm not going to be right for everyone, and that is ok, but putting myself 'out there' is the best way for people to know I exist, what I can do for Clients and whether I am the right person to meet their needs. So, one piece of advice for you in 2025 - if you are running or setting up a small business, get out networking and meeting people, you never know where it might lead. #businessnetworking #networking #connections #divorcecoach #relationshipcoach
