Welcome to today’s #1230TWCBusinessBeat! I’m your host, Jackie Groundsell, and we have an extraordinary lineup of Guests for you today. Get ready for an engaging, informative, and fun session with our fabulous guests: SARAH MARSH-COLLINGS, RIKA CHANDRA, SIMI GHUMAN, AND CHANICE GHUMAN.

Celebrations and Good Wishes

Before we dive in, let’s wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone celebrating today, especially Simi’s husband, Val! Let’s all join in and sing a cheerful birthday song for him!

We’re also sending our love and hugs to those who might be having a difficult time. Remember, we’re here for you, and you’re always in our thoughts.

Recap and Upcoming Highlights

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Fiona Catchpowle, who shared insightful details about Menopause Circles. If you missed that episode, be sure to check out our podcast archives for all the juicy details.

Meet Our Fabulous Guests

First up, we have the incredible SARAH MARSH-COLLINGS! Sarah is a marketing consultant who transitioned from a career in catering and high street recruitment to the marketing world. She launched her business after moving to Buckingham in 2013 and hasn’t looked back since. When she’s not working, Sarah enjoys walks with her Spaniels, cooking for family and friends, and powerlifting. In April, she raised £900 for the RSPCA by participating in the London Landmarks Half Marathon.

Sarah’s Hot Tips:

1. Social Media Strategy: Don’t try to be on every social media channel. It takes time to do social media well, and you’ll likely have different audiences on each platform.

2. Out of Office Reply: Use your out-of-office message to say something interesting about your business. Showcase what you’re up to and when you’ll be back.

SIMI AND CHANICE GHUMAN

Next, we have the dynamic duo, Simi and Chanice Ghuman. Simi, originally a lawyer, transitioned into the healthcare sector and is passionate about delivering high standards of care. Chanice, with a background in healthcare recruitment, is dedicated to delivering her best in every endeavor. Together, they run a supportive home care business and have innovated the Connections Cafe, where people can come together to hear inspiring speakers and participate in mini-workshops.

Highlights from Simi and Chanice:

• Their business pays above the minimum wage, emphasizing fair compensation.

• They discussed the financial aspects of care and the role of AI in their services.

• Opportunities for collaboration in networking, as they have with Rika Chandra.

RIKA CHANDRA

Finally, we welcome Rika Chandra, a storyteller and 'pen for hire'. Rika specializes in biographies for individuals and families, helping them document their lives and leave a legacy. She also offers copywriting services for businesses, focusing on website copy, articles, and marketing brochures.

Rika’s Insights:

• Writing family histories can be a unique gift and a way to celebrate milestones.

• Rika collaborates with Radfield Home Care to present biography workshops, helping people uncover their past and celebrate their achievements.
