Network Cork February: How To Be A Winner

We all like to win. It’s a great thrill to take home a trophy, to be acknowledged for your hard work and dedication. But many of us don’t put ourselves forward for awards. Why not? Sometimes it’s because the application form seems so daunting. Sometimes it’s because you’re not sure of the value to you and your company.
 
Applications for the Network Ireland Businesswoman of the Year Awards will open on Tuesday 5 February and we want to help you maximise your chances of winning the Network Cork awards on 24 May and, of course, going on to represent our branch at national level.
 
Tricia Sheehan from Depuy Synthes has been on our judging panel for the last two years and she will take us through the application form, detailing what the judges look for, what they want/don’t want and giving advice on how best to answer questions. This advice will be invaluable no matter what awards you want to enter.
 
Sian Horn of Elite Pilates is Network Cork’s Business Awards Coordinator for 2018 and she will MC a panel of expert speakers who will widen the discussion around awards: how to find the best awards for your industry; why you should enter; why you should consider sponsoring awards and more:
