The Job Is Done

You have done so much in bringing women together and many permanent bonds have been formed.  I would consider that as ‘job done’.

Kerry van der Spuy, Kind Company

It’s these words that make it so much easier for me to announce that Cuppa Daisies Networking has reached its end; we will no longer be arranging any networking events or associated workshops.

After an incredibly successful run in 2021 and 2022, we started 2023 with the same passion and determination that had fortified our previous events, but it was clear from the outset that 2023 had different plans for everyone.  It became more and more difficult to get the ideal numbers for the type of events we co-ordinate; so much so that we started a two-month sabbatical, at the start of May, during which we were going to re-strategise and re-work our events.

That break was cut super-short and seriously side-lined when Michelle Longman had a heart attack (and then another) and spent a week in ICU.

Its times like this that gives one the opportunity to re-strategise one’s whole life, not just a work element. In fact, its imperative to do so else we not giving the heart attack the respect it deserves!

And so, out of this reboot opportunity that we have been presented with, one of the changes we are implementing is a vast cutting back activities, including all networking activities. 

It’s a tough blow:  it’s difficult to stop something that you love doing.

Things also must make sense and it no longer makes sense for us to spend so much of time and energy on these events, when technically, the job is already done.

We’ve loved the ride.  We’ve loved the journey.  We’ve loved every single interaction with every single networker.  

THANK YOU!
