In early 2024 I joined Ciaran May's - Community Network it felt like the right fit and I am deligthed to say my sense was correct and what Ciaran and the Community offer is and has been exactly what I wanted. You can find out more here: https://www.natural-resilience.co.uk/
Ciaran offered me the opportunity to Pitch at the October Pitch Perfect Networking event and I was excited by the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone. I am very used to talking about Menstrual Health and Menstrual Products however its usually to women and women who have chosen to be there and want to hear my perspective.
This was different, not only because there was a competition and judging element also because I was aware that the audience was likely to be 50/50 men and women and also because I was restricted to 3-4mins, how could I say all I wanted to say in such a short space of time and make an impact.
I decided to focus on Menstrual Products, why they should be available everywhere women go, the environmental and health impact of disposable menstrual products and what we can do to make a difference.
You can have a listen to my pitch on YouTube - I managed to stick to the time limit so it isn't a long listen. I would love to hear your thoughts. You will get to hear about the first time Ciaran and I spoke. I needed to be sure it was the right space for me and in his words "I called him out on something" how he responded, proved to me that it was and I am most grateful that we had that conversation and many others since.
If you would like more information please get in touch.
Thank you for reading and watching.
