Last night, I went to stunning Foxhills Club & Resort for the bi-monthly Institute of Directors (IoD) connect. I met some brilliant founders who had been part of the Spelthorne Business Plan competition, as well as established business gurus and mentors. Networking can feel uncomfortable, but if you're building a business it's important to navigate conversations outside of the hard sell. As Jarmila Yu, CMktr DipM FCIM FIDM MCIPR talks about - we need to build a brand that outlives your commercials. Founders, are you prioritising networking for your brand?
