High-profile entrepreneur reveals 7 steps to success

09/06/2009

Deirdre Bounds, one of the north’s most accomplished entrepreneurs, will unearth the secrets behind personal and professional fulfilment at a networking lunch hosted by Forward Ladies in York on Monday, June 22.

The event at HSBC on Parliament Street is sponsored by HSBC which has renewed its annual sponsorship in line with its continuing commitment to Forwards Ladies.

Ms Bounds, author of the soon to be published book ‘Fulfilled – A Personal Revolution in 7 Steps’, has enjoyed a trailblazing career which included selling her specialist travel company, i-to-i to First Choice Holidays Plc in 2007.  

At the event the author will share tips on overcoming self-limiting beliefs, guilt and resentment, improving personal and professional relationships – and how to be charismatic.

The author, a champion of women in business, is a strong advocate of Forward Ladies which is supported by Yorkshire Forward as part of its commitment to encourage female entrepreneurship in the region. Launched by Yorkshire Forward in 2000 and rolled out by Etta Cohen, it now boasts a 3,500 strong membership across the North.

Deirdre Bounds said: “The workshop encapsulates the ethos of Forward Ladies which is a dynamic platform for women who are passionate about succeeding to share their experiences and business opportunities with their peers.

“The ‘7 Steps’ programme, one of the world’s best kept personal development secrets, has transformed my life and I’m looking forward to it changing the lives of thousands of other people for the better.”

Said Forward Ladies founder Etta Cohen: “Attendees will come away from the event motivated and inspired thanks to the powerful ideas and tips Deirdre will give them. We also thank HSBC Bank plc for continuing to support women across Yorkshire in building their network and skills via Forward Ladies to enable their future business success.”

The event runs from 12pm-2pm and includes a hot buffet lunch. Members of Forward Ladies can attend for £15 and bring a guest for free by booking online at www.forwardladies.com. Non members can also attend for £15 per person by calling 0845 6434 940.
