Community Introductions & Networking [no links please]

[Henry Osadzinski]

Welcome to the West Midlands community introductions thread. This is a new space for people in the local area to come in, say hello and let everyone know what their hopes and goals are from their time on UK Business Forums.

Feel free to introduce yourself here and make others feel welcome If you know someone in your area who may benefit from joining in, be sure to let them know about us as well.

While you're welcome to let people know what you're working on and a bit of background, please avoid anything that could come across as a sales pitch and, even if you're an established member, please don't link to your business here. The idea is to give people a chance to get to know each other and what's going on in their region.

Thanks!

I help people at work and in business to improve their performance and I also help people on a personal level transform their lives into something better. I do this using my own blend of techniques from Coaching, NLP, Time Line Therapy and Dynamic Guided meditation.

Thanks for looking.

[Raul Picart]

I thought I'd swing by here and do a formal introduction!

My name is Raul, often mistaken for Paul (go figure, right?). I currently work full-time for a FTSE 250 company based in Sutton Coldfield, in a Marketing role however, I've always been quite keen to share my knowledge with small business owners because entrepreneurship is something that has always interested me.

I started my career in the United States working for an advertising agency and then moved over to UK in 2007, where I've been ever since. My marketing experience comes from both offline (direct mail and press advertising) alongside online (SEO, PPC, and inbound marketing).

I am quite interested in learning about the issues that business owners face in terms of their marketing efforts and sharing any thoughts / past experience that could help out!

Let's see...other than that, I'm sure here to read and contribute as and when I can.

Thanks and I will see you around the forum!
