The London Traders Network

London, 17

The London Traders Network

The London Traders’ Network was started by Paul Wallace as a means of keeping in touch with other trading buddies in a social environment. Over the last 8 years the group has grown from 5 or 6 friends to now over 2,800 members.

What started out as a few friends meeting for a beer and a curry whilst discussing their trading experiences has now grown into a group of whereby 60-100 people attend our events.

The London Traders' Network run a series of free social events whereby traders of all levels of experience can get out from behind their screens and meet other like-minded individuals for a beer and a chat about trading and the financial markets. Trading can be a lonesome endeavour so it's all about being able to indulge in some guilt-free geeky trader chat with individuals who understand your journey and can usually offer some sage personal advice.

For those wanting to learn more we, on occasion, will run training or advanced meet-up events. However the majority of our time will be spent socialising with old friends and making new ones.

We look forward to meeting you!

Asian Single Parents Network (ASP Network)

London, 17

Asian Single Parents Network  (ASP Network)

This Group was created to get Asian single parents and their kids out interacting with each other for fun, support and friendship, and to enhance lives in the process.

<br>

Separated, widowed, divorced, single by choice, living apart can all fit into the category of a single parent family. No matter how you arrived in your current situation, it’s important for families and children to know they are not alone.

<br>

THE EVENTS

<br>

We are an active group hosting a mixture of fun activities for both parents and kids and experiences that are priceless!

<br>

Daytime events for both Parents and their children: These have included activities such as a trip to London Zoo, picnic and play in various parks, bowling, ice skating, trips to the seaside, attending festivals such as the Tall Ships Festival in Greenwich, cultural events such as Holi, Diwali in Trafalgar Square, Vaisaki at Gravesend Gurudwara and Eid related events. These are just some of the many events we have held and are suitable for all ages.

<br>

Evening events for parents: these are for the adults only to have a night off! Including things such as a nice meal; drinks or a Bollywood event.

<br>

Holidays: We have been away on weekend breaks and holidays, and hope to do a lot more of these in the near future especially overseas! :)

<br>

BENEFITS

<br>

Meeting like minded adults who are going through the same experiences. It can be invaluable to speak with others who have been where you are and are willing to share their own tips for getting through.

<br>

Although your best friends may be able to lend a listening ear and sympathize with you, true empathy will come from others who are going through a similar life experience. It is also sometimes difficult to talk to family and friends because of the stigma attached within our culture.

<br>

Having company when doing activities rather than on your own.

<br>

Friendship opportunities for children which exist outside of their everyday sphere. This also helps with kids who feel different to their peers who may live in two parent households.

Access to regional/local WhatsApp groups once you have attended an event with an organiser present. This will be at the organiser's discretion. For example, we have WhatsApp groups for Kent/East London/West London & Berkshire/North West London etc. where more local events are organised rather than central London all the time.

Don't just take my word for it, read the testimonials!

<br> 

This is NOT a singles dating group, although if it happens it’s great. It’s more about bonding about the unique experience of raising children solo, to focus on activities and events that foster friendships and support for the parents and kids in our group.

<br>

We can only have you or your ex as members. Whoever joins the group first gets preference. Both can’t be members unless both consent to be cordial and civil.

<br>

Please note that as this is a children’s group too, (we do daytime activities with kids), all applicants will be screened before acceptance into the group. Once you have sent a request to join, please send me your phone number through the meetup messages so we can chat.

The Founders Network

London, 17

The Founders Network

Founders network, part of the Founders Incubator was started by Steven Haggerty - a Founder himself. This network is different, its not about who has the best business card but who has the best relationships new and old. It is about building those relationships and helping fellow founders build and grow their business. 

We have Founders who have just started out, to founders who have ran and sold multiple companies. 

Our concept is simple, keep networking simple. 

Our events are ran with the founder in mind. 

We run three monthly events; 

- Monthly Socials, a relaxed networking event where you can meet fellow founders and share a drink or some great food. 

- Speaker Style Event - This is where we bring in an expert to discuss their core subject, it could be a famous founder or a marketing genius whoever it is... you leave with some powerful learnings! 

- Monthly Breakfast - Limited to 10 Founders, we run a monthly breakfast meeting in central London. 

----------

We think Founders are innovators, here are 10 traits of innovators according to Forbes; 

1. Being innovative means doing things differently or doing things that have never been done before. An innovator is someone who has embraced this idea and creates environments in which employees are given the tools and resources to challenge the status quo, push boundaries and achieve growth.

2. Innovators are authentic leaders committed to creating dynamic, highly productive and values-based organizations that hire people who are passionate about their work; give them opportunities to grow; make them feel valued and respected; and give them clarity about their roles and responsibilities.

3. Innovators understand innovation never happens in a vacuum. They value, build and sustain active, vibrant networks of people, assets and organizations. Instead of viewing collaboration as a challenge, they see it as an opportunity to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

4. Innovators are committed to diversity and understand it takes many different points of view to fully grasp the complexity of economic, technological and other challenges.

5. Innovators have let go of the high-control, low-trust model of leadership and lead by directing from the center of their organizations. They empower employees to be creative and develop the skills they need to move to the next level in their careers.

6. Innovators are not taking shortcuts and are not afraid of going after more complex solutions, even if it means taking higher risks.

7. Innovators understand innovation is not a one-time thing and that start-up companies as well as those that are several generations old have to continuously reach above and beyond what they have done before to stay competitive. This requires innovators to be effective change managers who know how to navigate through resistance to their ideas.

8. Innovators are not afraid to break with the norm and push past conventional wisdom that causes people to think in a box. They are aware customers don’t always know what they want.

9. Innovators understand paying too much attention to traditional business metrics can inhibit companies from making breakthroughs. At the same time, however, their business success speaks for itself.

10. Innovators contribute new, unconventional ideas of their own.
