From Cally Robson, Coach & Founder, She's Ingenious!...

 
A big sorry you haven't heard from She's Ingenious! HQ for a while. Blame it on laptop glitches, family woes and the new role I took on coaching innovative high-growth companies in Oxfordshire in May. Good things have still been going on at www.shesingenious.org with exciting progress and launches of Members' new products, and a new product beginners course in the pipeline. We're living in uncertain times, because the world as we know it is going through massive change, but it's also an exciting time of opportunity. Here's to joining us and putting your ingenuity into action.   :)Cally
