Tonight, I’m up for two awards at the Lincolnshire Marketing Awards - Entrepreneur of the Year and Business Recognition.
And while I’m incredibly proud to be shortlisted for both, there’s something about the Business Recognition category that feels special.
Because you don’t apply for it.
You aren’t nominated for it.
The judges look across all of the applications they receive and decide which businesses they believe deserve to be recognised.
To even be selected feels huge, amongst peers and people I respect.
And perhaps it feels even more important because of the work I’m doing right now around The Recognised Woman.
Awards are fantastic and of course I’d love to win, but to me recognition is what happens when the way you show up, the standards you hold, the work you do and the reputation you build begin to speak for you.
👉 When people know what you stand for.
👉 When your name carries meaning before you enter the room.
👉 When opportunities begin to find you because you have spent years becoming the woman capable of holding them.
That’s what being a Recognised Woman means to me - leading, contributing and building something worthy of being recognised.
And tonight, regardless of what happens when those envelopes are opened, being placed in that category feels like a beautiful reminder that the work is being noticed.
I’ll let you know how I get on! ❤️
