“If you meet somebody for the first time, there are three things that you want them to go away with. You want them to remember your name, your business and what it is that you do.” 

In this two part episode, I’ve invited back to The Future-Proof your Business Podcast the brilliant Vicky Labinger, the Fairy Godmother of Networking and the founder of the Get your Network Working Programme.

Vicky is a mum, wife, master to Bucky the black lab and a business owner. Vicky has an Interior Design business which we chatted about on episode 36, called My Claybrick Home. But since that conversation in the spring Vicky has launched her new business under her name: Vicky Labinger. 

In part one of this episode, we have a great conversation about the rollercoaster ride of running your own business, the continuous learning and development that’s key to growing and future-proofing your business and the importance of staying ahead of the curve and on top of new technologies. 

We chat about how the real value that you can offer your clients comes from your years of experience, the different paths and all the people you meet along the way. As Vicky says,  she is exactly where she needs to be. She just wishes she was 10 years younger, maybe 20 because there's so much still to do. 

And so if you do nothing else today, go and take Vicky’s quiz and share with us your score and your networking personality type, you’ll find the link below:
