ABERGAVENNY, Wales - Oct. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- The gala launch night at the Angel Hotel on 8th October starts at 6:30pm and will include cocktails and canapes, three guest speakers and the opportunity to learn from and network with like minded business women.

‘I’ve been part of I AM WOMAN for two years, originally joining as a member of the Cardiff Club in 2012’ explains Michelle. ‘I AM WOMAN echoes so many of my beliefs and values and I’m so excited to be able to deliver the I AM WOMAN program to the business women of Monmouthshire.  I have seen firsthand how the structure and format of the clubs helps women accelerate and elevate their business or career. I’ve watched women of all ages and backgrounds participate in the ilm accredited program and really step into their power, claiming the futures they deserve. When I left my previous role as Spa and Leisure Director at the Mercure Holland House Hotel in Cardiff I was looking for an opportunity to set up a business that I would be passionate about and that would offer flexibility and work-life balance:- becoming an I AM WOMAN Director has surpassed all my expectations.’

Dame Rosemary Butler AM, Presiding Officer for the Welsh Assembly leads the guest speakers at the inaugural event. She is joined by Dawn Evans, Managing Director of the Ajuda Training Academy and Margaret Carter who describes herself as Chief Excitement Officer at award winning Patchwork Traditional Foods. Margaret is also patron of I AM WOMAN and will be sharing the story of how she went from setting up her business with just £9 at the kitchen table, to having her products on sale in Harrods and Selfridges.

The theme for the elegant and inspiring evening will be Walking In My Shoes. Michelle adds: ‘I’m really looking forward to walking with other women in business on their journey to succeed. Sharing with them all the fantastic tools of the I AM WOMAN membership, alongside my 20 years experience and success in business. I can’t wait to watch new relationships form as women in the group look to collaborate and do business together. I have recently taken the opportunity to sharpen my skills and embark on a Post Graduate course – Mentoring for Entrepreneurial Practice to ensure I can draw out the very best of the members I work with. Do come along and see how I AM WOMAN can help you.’

I AM WOMAN – Backgrounder

I AM WOMAN
is a dynamic global network of women supported by a franchise network of  business clubs exclusively for women, supported via a membership structure, soon to expand across the UK, America and Jamaica.

ü  Have a particular ‘nurturing’ learning style that enjoys helping and encouraging others

Women have a natural desire to support, encourage and motivate one another yet seem to come from a very different level of confidence despite all of the above.
