Jade Parrett-Harris works as a paralegal and trainee solicitor at Bramsdon and Childs. As one of our conveyancers, we work closely with Jade. Jade spoke this month about the importance of raising awareness among parents who don't have a will. Seven out of ten parents are not adequately prepared with a will to determine their children's legal guardian in the event of their absence.
Kobbii promotes two enterprises at our meetings, one being his Portsmouth Property Network, and the other Raw Fusion, a plant-based kitchen. He is now actively searching for a permanent venue to set up a monthly supper club.

Debbie from Soul Balance brought her remote service, designed to reduce negative imbalances in one's body. She shared her inspiration for doing so, citing her mother's physical and mental ailments, which Debbie was able to alleviate with the use of crystals. Debbie mentioned she is available to collaborate with anyone in their own office space.
Andreas Nest of Action Coach followed and outlined how he helps businesses make money through guidance over the course of five years. Only two out of ten businesses who lack a coach achieve success, and to this, Andreas shared his mother's experience of juggling a fashion business and trying to keep up with a luxurious lifestyle until she became overwhelmed and depleted. His words of encouragement were that he would never let a business he works with go bankrupt.

He extended an invitation for individuals to join their Wednesday sessions, during which one can network with other members and make use of the 50% discount off their first visit and the complimentary membership for a friend.
