Bestselling author to give talk at Swindon virtual networking event
Inspirational speaker, coach and author Taz Thornton will be the guest speaker at the February meeting of the Swindon & Cotswold Business Focus, a new virtual networking group.
Taz, who is known as a TEDx speaker and also author of the books Unleash Your Awesome and Whispers From The Earth will be sharing tips and hints about how to rock at life and stop hitting the snooze button.
Leader of the Swindon & Cotswold Business Focus, Fiona Scott, said: “We’re thrilled Taz has found the time in her busy schedule to share her story with local business people.
“Taz is a world-renowned speaker and a regular contributor to the online news service America Out Loud. She recently won the title of Female Business Professional of the Year for Central England and is also a campaigner for equality for the LGTBQ+ community in the UK.”
Taz said: “My journey in life has been one of highs and the lows. From the outside I seemed to have made it with a dazzling business and corporate career but this was just what people saw on the outside.
“No one knew that I’d been through an abusive relationship resulting in me having to go into hiding or the illness I endured, surviving day-to-day on anti-depressants and walking on sticks.
“Those are often the experiences we try to bury deep hide or forget about – yet they really do have the power to turn our future endeavours into gold”
The Swindon & Cotswolds Business Focus takes place on Tuesday, February 9 from 8am until 10am. For more information, or to book a place, go to https://businessfocusnetworking.co.uk
