 Evenings

Chapter
 Leader

My
 journey
 with
 Xtraordinary
 Women

started
 in
 2010,
 back
 then
 the
 world
 of

networking
 which
 fairly
 unknown
 to
 me
 and

I
 never
 knew
 that
 an
 entrepreneur
 has
 so

much
 support,
 connection,
 empowerment

and
 cameradie
 out
 there!

 For
 the
 past
 five

years,
 I
 have
 not
 only
 grown
 as
 an
 individual

but
 my
 purpose,
 dream
 and
 passion
 in
 life
 is

so
 much
 closer
 to
 fulfillment
 and

achievement
 -­‐
 all
 because
 of
 Xtraordinary

women,
 under
 the
 leadership
 of
 Gwen

Kloppers.

 She
 will
 not
 stop
 until
 every

woman
 she
 knows
 reaches
 their
 own

dreams
 and
 sharing
 their
 own
 inspirational

success
 stories
 with
 others.

Currently,
 I
 am
 Chapter
 Leader
 for
 the

Holistic
 and
 Evening
 networks.

 Both

chapters
 borne
 from
 my
 own
 story,
 my
 own

experience
 and
 desire
 to
 share
 with
 others

what
 I
 have
 learnt
 on
 my
 own
 journey.

The
 Holistic
 Network:

The
 Holistic
 network
 was
 borne
 from
 the

need
 to
 cater
 for
 entrepreneurs
 in
 the

Holistic
 Industry
 -­‐
 many
 of
 which
 previously

regarded
 their
 business
 as
 "part-­‐time".

 My
 objective
 was
 to
 have
 a
 platform
 where
 holistic

entrepreneurs
 can
 connect,
 network
 and
 be
 empowered
 to
 run
 their
 business
 as
 a
 valuable,

profitable
 entity
 that
 deserves
 the
 same
 platform
 as
 any
 other
 business
 model.

 Today
 the
 Holistic

network
 also
 provides
 a
 space
 where
 the
 soul
 is
 nourished,
 where
 other
 entrepreneurs
 join
 in
 for

some
 "me
 time"
 and
 "soul
 food"

For
 the
 holistic
 entrepreneur
 we
 will
 continue
 to
 provide
 a
 platform
 that
 share
 valuable
 business

guidance
 and
 introduce
 various
 other
 holistic
 modalities
 that
 can
 promote
 further
 collaboration

and
 connection
 with
 like-­‐minded
 people.

I
 am
 so
 thankful
 to
 Xtraordinary
 Women
 for
 supporting
 me
 in
 this
 purpose.

The
 Evening
 Network
 -­‐
 Xtraordinary
 Evenings;

Xtraordinary
 Women
 is
 known
 for
 supporting
 women
 entrepreneurs
 in
 business
 –
 many
 an

entrepreneur
 have
 found
 their
 footprint
 and
 have
 been
 empowered
 to
 follow
 their
 dream
 through

the
 vision
 of
 Xtraordinary
 Women
 which
 leads,
 inspires,
 support
 and
 recognises
 not
 only
 its

members,
 but
 every
 guest
 and
 visitor
 that
 we
 have
 had
 the
 privilege
 of
 welcoming
 to
 our
 network.
