Week in Review - 24 January 2015

Me @ National Venus Awards

The highlight of the week was being able to sponsor the entertainment and perform at the National Venus Awards on Friday! What an inspirational event and it was a real honour to be in the room with so many amazing women in business.

This was my third Venus Awards event, having performed at the Portsmouth Awards ceremony where I was also a finalist in the New Business Category and GME solo performer, Marlene Hill performed at the Oxford ceremony. It was great working directly with the founder of this great organization, Tara Howard, on song selection for the National event kicking off the festivities with 'Simply The Best.' Tara also outlined her vision to take the Venus Awards Global promoting women in business around the world! Her talk made me want to dream bigger for GME.

It was also a real pleasure connecting with Jenni Steele, the National Ambassador for Domestic Violence UK. Jenni presented an award as well as delivered an excellent talk about her experience with domestic violence as a young person and encouraged us all to be the 'lioness' within our respective 'prides!' I had a chat with Jenni a couple days before the event and we arranged for me to sing 'I'm Every Woman' before her talk!

The other two keynote speakers of the event were Dr. Lynda Shaw, a registered chartered psychologist who talked about the differences between the male and female brain; and Julia Hands, Chairman & Chief Executive of Hand Picked Hotels, who's lovely Audleys Wood was where the event was held. She spoke about being brave enough to change careers from being a Solicitor to Hotelier and about saying yes to an opportunity when it presents itself, even if you don't feel like you can do it, which is exactly what she did in 2001 when she took over management of Hand Picked Hotels. They now have 21 country house hotels across the UK and Channel Islands.

Niqi Brown

The rest of the week was quite routine with meetings and of course looking for performance opportunities for my Acts. On Thursday, I started a 12-week in-depth Social Media Course taught by David Vane of Workzmarter! The course is run by Opportunities Workshop!

Also, I signed a fabulous new Tribute Act to the website ... Niqi Brown as Tina Turner. Please consider this dynamic act for your next event. To book Niqi or any of the other star-quality GME acts, please call me today at 02392 894902 or you can follow this link to request-a-quote.

Lastly, I'd like to officially introduce you to the brand new Midnight Soul Sisters (MSS), a group of incredibly talented soul singers who pay tribute to all your favourite soul & R&B divas!

Within this group are several Tribute Acts, including Tina Turner, Diana Ross, & Beyonce as well as a Three Degrees & Supremes Show. 

Midnight Soul Sisters

I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing group of ladies (that's me on the left looking quite young if I say so myself) and there is huge demand for the various shows we offer. Interested in booking MSS for your next event? Call me today! 02392 894902 for more information!

That's it for this edition! Have a fabulous week.
