WORK HISTORY
Bristol Regional Director @The Athena Network
You know that feeling when you leave a networking event thinking \"that was fine but pointless\"?Yep, Athena Bristol is the antidote to that.As Regional Director, I run the Bristol chapter of The Athena Network, a 20-year networking community for women in business, founded by Jacqueline Rogers. Now before I tell you what we do, let me tell you what we\'re not.We\'re not a referral-pressure group. We\'re a referral-ready one.Nobody\'s chasing a quota. Nobody\'s being pitched at over a lukewarm coffee. Members refer each other because they\'ve built real trust over time & that\'s what makes the referrals actually stick.Here\'s what membership gives you: Minimum 10 structured online home group meetings per year: one profession per seat, no direct competition Access to a second Bristol group: more faces, more referral opportunities, more people who get it Access to the wider Athena Network online across all regions: so your network goes way beyond Bristol Business Development Training (BDT): practical, bitesize, education-led sessions from members Network Strategy Training (NST): delivered by me, covering visibility, communication, follow-up & building referral pathways that work Cappuccino Connections: relaxed online & in-person sessions, open to members & visitors BRIZZBUZZ Workshops: themed sessions on communication, visibility, mindset & business skills Member spotlights: because the expertise in the room deserves to be seen Summits & extra ordinary events: visibility beyond the core groups, connection across the regionAthena Bristol is for you if you\'re done with networking that goes nowhere & ready to be in a room where people genuinely want to see each other succeed.We also run optional face-to-face events, open to all women in business. Light-touch, real conversation & yes, occasionally very good coffee & cake!Come along & see what it feels like. You\'ll get good company & a room full of women who get it!

ABOUT CHELLE BAILEY
Are you at a crossroads in your business? Good. Keep reading.After 30 years in corporate banking.change, risk, leadership & people roles, all in head office, all at pace.I was offered redundancy & I took it!Honestly? Best. Thing. Ever.Not straight away, obviously. But it cracked open the thing I didn\'t know I needed: Proper space to think. To question everything. To stop doing things the way they\'d always been done & figure out what came next on my own terms.Sound familiar?Because here\'s what I see a lot of: 1. brilliant women in business (consultants, contractors, founders), who are capable, established & absolutely carrying it all. But something isn\'t sitting right anymore2. the way they\'re growing doesn\'t quite fit the life they\'re living. Decisions feel heavier than they should. the rooms they\'re in feel busy but not particularly useful. & somewhere in the back of their head is a quiet, persistent thought:\"Is this it? Because I know there\'s more.\"That\'s not a crisis. That\'s a crossroads. & that\'s exactly where I come in.Here\'s what my clients say happens when we work together:\"She helped me cut through the noise, reconnect with what mattered & move into my next chapter with clarity and balance.\"- KR, Financial Services \"Working with Chelle felt like having a trusted thinking partner beside me. She helped me untangle it, see things more clearly & feel confident in my direction and voice.\"- SP, Baker \"I didn\'t think it would make a difference. Her tailored approach cleared long-standing roadblocks & helped me rebuild my confidence.\"- DC, EngineerThat\'s what a proper thinking space does. Not coaching. Not a course. An actual conversation.commercial, clear & built entirely around you.My work sits across 2 businesses: FlameLily Consultancy: 1:1 business strategy & consultancy for women who are ready to lead, change & grow more intentionally. We work on how you\'re thinking, what\'s changing, where you\'re heading & what needs to shift to get you there. Athena Bristol: my connection community for women in business in Bristol. I\'ve built a space where real relationships are built, referrals happen naturally & showing up consistently pays off. We are part of The Athena Network, founded by Jacqueline Rogers.Clearer thinking → better decisions → better conversations → better rooms → better growth.That\'s the work & I\'d love to do it with you.
