The 4th Socially Shared Women in Business Conference is to be held on Wednesday 8th June at Draycote Hotel and Golf Club, London Road, Rugby with ‘The Power of Communication’ as the main theme of the event.
The day begins with refreshments and networking before we kick off with our amazing guest speakers. Over the next few weeks, we will be introducing you to each keynote speaker and sharing more details about what to expect at the conference.
Our first speaker of the day is Marie Wicker, a leadership coach for women and teams. Over the last eight years, Marie has supported over 300 women in their careers, with over 50% achieving a promotion or changing their careers.

The feedback she receives from her clients confirms that after working with Marie, 80% feel more confident in their abilities and 95% are more motivated and happier at work and home.
“I have been described by clients as refreshing, engaging, and inspiring,” says Marie. “I genuinely care for my clients and value honesty and personal growth. I push them out of their comfort zone, but happily hold their hand along the way.”
Marie will be sharing how communication is influenced by personality traits and categorised into defined style types. Our knowledge and understanding of these styles can impact our relationships and interaction with others.
The recent pandemic has taken its toll on all of us in one way or another, especially with how we have been forced to adopt new methods of communication, but with Marie’s expert guidance you will learn how to understand the communication styles of others and improve your interpersonal skills, build trust, and gain clarity of message.
Join us for a day full of personal and professional development
The 2022 Conference will consist of four inspirational speakers in the morning, a delicious networking lunch, and an opportunity for learning in the afternoon with two interactive workshops. This combination of inspiration, building relationships and providing learning opportunities, truly reflects the ethos of the Socially Shared Business Support Network.
There will be plenty of opportunities for networking, with a welcome drinks reception upon arrival, a mid-morning refreshment break, a networking lunch, and then closing drinks with the speakers, workshop hosts, and sponsors at the end of the day.
All delegates will receive a free gift upon arrival and a complimentary conference programme, to stay informed of the running order for the day. All this is included in the price of the ticket along with free onsite parking. We are sure you will agree the ticket price offers exceptional value for money.
