From wherever you are #FSBConnectOnline networking that welcomes all small businesses, entrepreneurs, start-ups and those who are self-employed.

This event, East London Borders, runs on the fourth Thursday of every month and aims to continue to provide the opportunity for you to meet and expand your network with other business owners in and around the London and Essex borders. 

This monthly networking opportunity will focus on issues arising in Havering, Redbridge and Barking & Dagenham but all members are welcome.

During the networking each business has a chance to introduce themselves and freely network with other attendees in other break out rooms throughout. Each session includes a short presentation/sharing session on a topic of interest to small businesses. 

This month we welcome Toby Acton from Pole Position Business Solutions and he will discuss "Motivational Mapping".

Toby will explain Motivational Mapping and show how this dynamic tool can benefit individuals and businesses in measuring, understanding and enhancing motivation.
