Shohreh Fleming shows that ‘She Means Business!’

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Shohreh Fleming, Prestige Network’s Chief Executive, provided inspiration to more than 100 delegates as part of a one-day business start-up event for women earlier this month.Shohreh Fleming

The objective of the event was to encourage women who may have thought of starting up in business but haven’t yet taken the next steps, as well as to help women who have already started a business and are in the first 12 months of trading, to sustain and grow their business.

The ‘She Means Business!’ seminar was part of a regional What’s Stopping You event in Slough, Berkshire. It was staged by Business Link Berkshire, with funding from the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA).

Shohreh said: “It was a very enjoyable day – in fact, I loved doing it because I was talking about something I have a passion for. It was very flattering to be asked to be a panellist. I was asked to speak on how I started my own business providing translation services, the hurdles I overcame and any help I sought along the way.”

Shohreh added: It’s a subject I could talk about from my heart. The only problem was working out how to fit 18 years of a successful business into an eight-minute presentation!
