SUMMARY:FSB Connect – Surrey Networked Women - Guildford
DESCRIPTION:In Person Event | Matrix Trust\, Guildford \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n£10 – £12 including tea / coffee and a light lunchSurrey Networked Women is delighted to announce the first theme of our 2026 programme: “Overwhelm.” This three-month series is designed to support busy businesswomen as they navigate the moments when demands outpace capacity — and to equip you with practical tools to regain focus\, balance\, and confidence.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuest Speaker Elizabeth Batalla will give a powerful and refreshing perspective on how to navigate life when demands exceed your capacity. \n\n\n\n\nSurrey Networked Women is a vibrant\, inclusive\, and supportive community created to empower women in business across Surrey.\n\n\n\n\nWe exist to: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n• Connect professional women through meaningful conversations\,   shared experiences\, and genuine relationships.                                                      • Collaborate through opportunities to grow and learn in a spirit of    mutual support                                                                                                         • Champion members as they navigate entrepreneurship\, leadership\,   and career development                                                                                     • Empower through tools\, insights\, and a peer-driven\, safe space to    thrive personally and professionally \n\n\n\nWhether it’s balancing business and family life\, overcoming self-doubt\, breaking through growth plateaus\, or finding your voice—this network offers practical support and a strong sense of community for every stage of the journey. \n\n\n\nCreating a local business network specifically for women is vital because the challenges women face in business are often unique and deeply personal—ranging from balancing caregiving responsibilities to navigating confidence gaps\, breaking through systemic barriers\, or simply being heard in male-dominated industries. \n\n\n\nWhile business ownership is empowering\, it can also be isolating—especially when you’re juggling multiple roles. A local\, women-focused network offers a safe and supportive space where these shared experiences are understood\, validated\, and addressed. \n\n\n\nIt creates opportunities for meaningful connection\, peer mentoring\, and tailored support that reflects the realities of being a woman in business today. By building community at a local level\, we not only strengthen individual women\, but also foster a thriving\, resilient ecosystem of businesses that uplift one another. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Attend? \n\n\n\nAttending Surrey Networked Women events offers more than just networking—it’s about becoming part of a powerful community of like-minded women who understand the unique challenges of building and growing a business as a woman. Whether you’re navigating confidence barriers\, juggling personal and professional responsibilities\, or looking for clarity and focus in your next steps\, this network provides a supportive space to connect authentically\, learn from others’ experiences\, and gain practical\, actionable insights.

He helps businesses—from solo entrepreneurs to multinationals—unlock value within their networks to generate consistent\, high-quality client conversations. \n\n\n\nHis approach leverages LinkedIn\, PR and face to face networking and events – aiming to drive 20–40 meaningful client discussions per month through structured outreach and engagement tied into broader sales and marketing pipelines.
