Recently, I had the privilege of meeting Sarah Willingham, during a Gold Circle business coaching event. For the last three months, this group has been a pivotal part of my professional journey, offering not only guidance but also exceptional speakers that fuel my enthusiasm and ambition.
Sarah's reputation precedes her. Known for her time as a judge on Dragons’ Den, she has carved out a remarkable career as a self-made millionaire. Her ability to build successful hospitality businesses and her recognition as one of the "100 Most Influential Women in Britain" underscores her influence in the entrepreneurial world.

Our interaction was more than just a networking opportunity; it was a testament to the power of genuine connections. When she complimented my new jacket, hand-crafted three days earlier in Sierra Leone, it revealed her attention to detail and genuine warmth. Her final words of gratitude for my smiles stayed with me, highlighting her kindness and authenticity.
