— Karen Mc.

“I'm biased as am privileged to know the co-founders …When I saw the first tweet that these inspiring women had come together to start AwakenHub I had no doubt something big was about to happen.

(Maria Gallo - KITE- Keep in Touch Education) Are you that surprised I mention networks :) :)"

— Maria G.

The members are pleased to share insights, their own networks (which they have spent many years cultivating) and kick open doors for you if they can. There is no score-keeping (a massive networking turn-off!).

In a world where people try to cut you down frequently, it's nice to be part of a movement comprising people that just think I'm brilliant :)
