A new video based website created by successful entrepreneur, Fiona Price, launches today. Diva-Biz (www.diva-biz.com) is a ground-breaking web based mentoring and leadership forum for professional women where some of the UKís top female business leaders talk candidly on video about their ìheartfeltî experiences. All those questions you have wondered about but darenít ask are explored on Diva-Biz.
There are also interviews with academics and authors who have written on womenís enterprise and videos of mentoring sessions and group discussions plus many short pieces of ëDiva wisdomí. All the films are accompanied with forums so users can add their own thoughts and experiences, offer peer group support and network with each other.
Launch interviews include: Rachel Bridge (Enterprise Editor of the Sunday Times and author of How I made it); Bella Mehta and Lucy Martin, (authors of Make It Your Business), Sarah Deaves (CEO, Coutts Bank), Eileen Carroll (CEO, Centre for Effective Conflict Resolution), Heather Gorringe (MD, Wiggly Wigglers), Chris Parry (Chairman, Centre for High Performance Development) and Danielle Lux, MD Celador Productions.
Fiona Price is one of the UKís most established names in the financial and business press and has provided valuable insight and guidance to consumers for over two decades. Her company Fiona Price and Partners was the first in the UK to provide financial advice for women. So it is no surprise that Fiona has brought another pioneering concept into the world of womenís enterprise.
Nothing like Diva Biz currently exists. It provides a monthly ëbusiness fixí without even having to leave your desk and combines the leading edge of web experience with the following essential business support for women:
ï Inspirational and believable role models
ï passive and active mentoring
ï off-line mentoring
ï peer group support and networking
ï skills training
ï resources
ï community
ï a time-saving alternative to a conventional ësit-downí approach to professional development.
Both British and global research indicates that women have a different approach to ëdoing businessí to men, so the support they need must be tailored to their special requirements research suggests women place greater importance on role models, mentoring and peer group support.
Fiona says, ìThe ëmind, body and soulí of business is the antithesis of ëwhat they teach you at Business Schoolí ñ it is about how you manage yourself when the chips are down, how you find balance and make the best decisions, how you can achieve fulfillment and happiness through business. The ultimate relationship is the one with yourself and business is a superb vehicle to explore this emotional, psychological and spiritual dynamic.î
Diva-Biz is a subscription site though the launch month is free to all users. Discounts are available for groups and companies. Diva-Biz is also ideal for inclusion in the employee benefits package for women managers and executives.
