About The Athena Network

 

How We Got Here

 

The co-founders of The Athena Network, Louise Heasman and Jacqueline Rogers, recognised that there was a requirement for women in business that is not currently being fulfilled.  The opportunity to attend a fun, yet focussed, networking lunch, to be trained in networking and business skills and to be coached, mentored and trained in their business and personal development. 

 

Athena Aims

  • Providing opportunities to make strategic connections with professionals in a wide range of industry sectors.

  • Developing members' business skills through a choice of interactive workshops and training courses.

  • Encourage women in business to inspire and support others for greater success.

We aim to put like-minded women together who are passionate about growing and developing their business.  Many of our members also benefit on a personal level from the support and inspiration they get from other members as well as from the organisation.

 

Training and development of our members as well as their business is very important to Athena.  To this end we provide numerous trainings and workshops.  Some are designed to help ladies who are new to networking, whilst we also cater to the needs of the experienced networker!  Every new member to Athena is automatically invited to attend a FREE New Member Training session designed to help each newcomer to get the most from their Athena membership.

 

Whether you are new to business or have been established for a number of years, you will undoubtedly realise how beneficial it is to build relationships with other businesses.  Athena members enjoy the networking lunches and other events, which gives them the opportunity to build these valuable contacts.  Increasing your database of contacts will mean you can instantly put your hands on the right contact to help support you in business, whether this is a supplier or a company you can work with jointly on a project with a client of yours.

 

At the end of the day, one of the main reasons ladies join Athena is to gain new business!  Although we are not a referral organisation and don't apply this pressure to our members, business is constantly passing throughout the membership.  So if you're looking for new business plus you want to benefit from the other aims of the organisation, them membership in Athena can certainly help you to achieve your goals.

 

Where We Are Going

 

Developing strategic relationships with experts in the market.  Listening to our members requirements to deliver new and exciting initiatives to ensure that the members come to regard Athena as the premier networking and training organisation for women.

 

The Athena Network Co-Founders

 

With a shared belief in the value of personal development, and complementary skills in networking and training respectively, Louise and Jacqueline channel their passion for business networking to the benefit of an ever-growing Athena membership.

 

Louise Heasman

 

Co-founder of The Athena Network, Louise Heasman began her business career with Barclays. Building an impressive track record in sales and marketing she won several awards and received recognition from the Chairman for her outstanding performance.

 

After nine years at the bank Louise moved to take on an Assistant Director role with Business Network International (BNI) in London and Birmingham. Helping set up and support more than 40 BNI networking groups over a period of five years provided invaluable experience in helping a range of professionals and business owners discover the power of ‘word of mouth’ marketing.

 

Having established her own highly successful Harley Street aromatherapy practice during her last year with BNI, Louise was keen to explore new business networking opportunities following her relocation to Hertfordshire and the birth of her first daughter. However, existing breakfast meetings did not fit with her new lifestyle and, keen also to meet the needs of many other businesswomen, she established networking groups for women  in January 2005.

 

Louise’s vision for a networking model compatible with the priorities of businesswomen proved appealing to a wide market and her organisational expertise enabled her to set up a total of 24 networking groups within the Home Counties in just one year.

 

Meeting Jacqueline Rogers, an inspirational business coach, mentor and trainer, led to the two co-founding The Athena Network now franchising nationally.

Jacqueline Rogers

 

Co-founder of The Athena Network, Jacqueline Rogers gained extensive corporate experience in a broad range of challenging sales, training and consultancy roles with organisations such as KPMG, BAe, Ernst & Young and BT.

 

A decision to take personal control of her destiny provided the spur to set up a company and work directly with business owners as a coach, mentor and trainer. Aware of the need to further extend her own skills and knowledge, Jacqueline travelled the world in order to be trained by some leading thinkers in the fields of development and leadership.

 

As a Master Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming, Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy™ and a qualified coach, among other achievements, she is dedicated to supporting business owners in their pursuit of both personal and business goals.

 

Jacqueline runs several highly successful web businesses but, always aiming for even higher standards, she continues to benefit from input by her own coaches and mentors.

Having set up The Athena Network with Louise Heasman, Jacqueline now shares her experiences, training expertise and business secrets with Athena members.

A passionate advocate for development, her mission is to see women in business experience greater fulfilment as they attract new clients, become more profitable and organise their time more efficiently and effectively.

 

Now committed to the training, mentoring and coaching of all the Athena franchisees.
