In this week’s episode of Connect, Unite, Empower, I welcome Jacqueline Leake, founder of J Leake VA Services to the podcast. You can listen to this episode on Spotify here.

We delve into the importance of networking and collaboration for business success, also touching on networking as an Introvert and assumptions that are made.

Jacqueline shares her story as a new business owner and how networking enabled her to grow. We also talk about the crucial role of outsourcing tasks in freeing up time for core business activities.

Key Takeaways:

  • Always have your Elevator Pitch ready, you never know who you’ll meet!
  • Getting to know people and understanding what they do.
  • Finding a “Business Buddy” to go to networking events with can help soothe anxiety.
  • Collaboration over Competition.

I am a Multi Award Winning Networker and Business Owner. I have been running my own networking events since 2014 to provide a safe supportive environment for female business owners to come together to connect and be united on their ongoing business journey. During the pandemic I hosted free weekly online meetings to my members to offer support during uncertain times. We soon grew to a national and international audience which inspired the decision to launch Womens Business Network Ltd as an online support network for female business owners which is open to a national and international audience. I am a strong believer in collaboration over competition so in 2022 we hosted our first Bootcamp series, in 2023 we co-wrote The Womens Business Network Guide to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur and in 2024 we are planning the launch of a new Bootcamp series to accompany the book. The Womens Business Network now also hosts a Podcast called Connect Unite Empower to reach women in business who do not currently network to share with them the benefits of finding the right support network that fits you and your business.
