Seminar: How to Be Seen so you can make more money and a greater impact.
Presenter - Sarah Stephens from Tree Communications
Sarah Stephens is an award-winning PR expert, visibility strategist, and founder of Tree Communications, with over 25 years? experience helping brands, founders, and organisations get seen in the right places for real commercial impact. Known for her straight-talking, strategic approach, she doesn?t just focus on publicity for the sake of it but aligns PR with the bigger marketing picture so it drives credibility, leads, and growth.

At the heart of her work is the Be Seen Method, a proven framework that helps people move from hiding in the background to showing up with clarity and confidence. It guides them to define their vision, identify the right platforms, craft powerful stories, set clear expectations, take bold action, and stay consistent, so they can be seen by the right people, in the right places, at the right time, ultimately making more money and a greater impact.

Sarah will share the steps within the Be Seen method in her seminar that shows you how you can easily do your own PR.

What our
members and
visitors say...

It's a great group to part of!
Nick Hornsby
Hornsby's
If you've been going to networking events as long as I have you will have done them all. Ones where it's just you and a woman who does aromatherapy for cats and that one where half an hour in you start to wonder if you've accidentally joined some sort of cult. You know the one where people are deliberately breaking their own toilets just so they have got a referral to give to the plumber. Anyway 10 years ago we went to our first Business Network and we haven't bothered with anything else since. Above all its enjoyable and you meet great people. Out of that business relationships and even friendships grow. The culture is very much "how can I help" rather than "what's in it for me". So all the right ingredients are in place for you to grow your network of contacts and grow your business. And it works
