Our Wednesday fortnightly meetings consists of a 60 second introduce your business round followed by 2 member presentations.

At our last meeting The Swan Thornbury on Wed 9th Aug our member presentations came from Orion Abbot-Davies from Orion’s Photo Business and William Stock Stock from Be Astute

Orion Abbot-Davies key message was ‘’Engaging Authentically: Why Selfie Video’s Work for Business Promotion’’ to encourage us all to post more on hashtag#linkedin and other hashtag#socialmedia but not in the form most currently use. He spoke to us about stepping out of our comfort zones and start speaking to our phones. hashtag#shortformvideos specifically of the hashtag#selfie variety is a very effective infrequently used method for businesses to communicate, connect and engage with their audience in a memorable way.

Orion’s background as a Film School Graduate working for the BBC broadcasting TV News as cameraman, acting in plays and musicals allows him to help people overcome their hashtag#fears of being on stage. He supports businesses capture their brand through hashtag#photography and hashtag#video helps them grow and feel confident doing it. Orion also has a brilliant podcast you should listen to https://listen.2to1pod.com

His excellent subscription service for only £150 per month helps you capture 8 selfie videos you can then build into your marketing strategy and post to social media. In his words ‘’It’s a thousand times better than capturing your video up your nose’’ 🤥 🤣

Follow that one William Stock …

Bill is our very own self professed Marine Data Nerd, he loves hashtag#dataanalysis and uses that to work with busninesses to help them improve efficiency, know their customers, and his key message ‘’Find Staff That Are The Right Fit For Your Business’’ Be Astute are not a hashtag#recruitmentagency but are trained and experienced in Harrison Assessments Int’l psychometric talent diagonostics.

This focuses on is the work enjoyment theory. Research shows that if we enjoy 75% of the tasks & interactions within our roles, we will be 4 times more successful. This improves the hashtag#performance of our hashtag#teams and creates hashtag#happier more hashtag#engaged workforce which sticks around for longer.

When you work with Bill and his team you get the right people through the door, and they also support with succession planning, understand training needs and reducing conflict and stress.

Bill introduced us to our hashtag#personalitytrait and what happens to this when we are stressed. To find out what your ‘’Stress Flip’’ is contact Bill today.
