Great opening session by @MichelleLestas #SBSEvent2022
Thank you for a great talk @MichelleLestas #sbsevent2022 #inbiztogether I shall work on the business moving from the maturity to reinventing stage
I was lucky enough to meet Michelle on one of my Walk It Off NI walking and food experiences. I was immediately struck by her friendliness and intelligence. Her professional history and entrepreneurial journey is fascinating and we have kept in touch. Her business networking group InBizTogether has been a brilliant space for me. Always choc full of ideas, connections and information from diverse businesses across the UK and further afield. It is expertly managed by Michelle so that the time flies and we always walk away with new business knowledge and connections. Michelle has built up an encyclopaedic knowledge of business and I highly recommend her as a coach, speaker or adviser.
Working with Michelle has been a massive benefit to the company her knowledge and overview of business has helped to turn our company around to allow it to grow from strength to strength. I could not recommend Michelle enough.
‘A clear eye and safe hands. I met Michelle through her excellent #InBizTogether group. Her experience in business has been invaluable to my view and aspirations for my own business. The group, with her at the helm has been a super source of enthusiasm, support and creative ideas. Due to her probing enquiries about innovation and unstinting support my own business is expanding and taking a whole new path which is exhilarating. I cannot recommend her clear eye and ability to understand the totality of a business enough. She continues to encourage new thinking and has at her fingertips the help, resources and unstinting support to find the best routes through which they can reach fruition.‘
Michelle’s support, insight and direction are invaluable to me, as the owner of a small business in Northern Ireland. I am always confident that Michelle’s counsel will provide me with the strategic guidance that I need."
Art on a Tin started working with Michelle over a year ago, she has helped us grow our business through her knowledge, her challenging tasks all in a friendly and professional manner. We would have no hesitation in recommending Michelle as a business mentor
Michelle has a wealth of knowledge she was able to share with me and being an entrepreneur herself and knowing the struggles small businesses can face it was great to chat with someone in depth about not only how to grow my business but she also touched on a range of topics including legal necessities, manufacturing, labelling, market research, contractual terms and conditions and PR to name a few. I have thoroughly enjoyed being mentored by Michelle and would definitely like to keep in touch as her positivity and drive really shine through and show how she has become so successful over many years of hard work passion and dedication
