Well, this is rather exciting, I’m an accredited #SheMeansBusiness trainer… and more than being the trainer for Worcestershire, Shropshire and Herefordshire, I’m also the equestrian trainer, which is pretty darn exciting!
What is #SheMeansBusiness?
I’m an accredited #SheMeansBusiness trainer, a programme run by Enterprise Nation and powered by Facebook to help educate and inspire female entrepreneurs to grow their digital skills, particularly on social media.
The national programme is run by Enterprise Nation, a community of small businesses and advisors that run events both online and offline all over the UK. The programme is powered and supported by Facebook, ensuring that accredited trainers are up to date with the latest news and training which they can then pass onto people who attend the events they run.
What does it mean to be a #SheMeansBusiness accredited trainer?
I’m so delighted to have been selected to become and accredited #SheMeansBusiness trainer. The initiative is one I’m hugely passionate about as I spend a lot of time helping small businesses, particularly in the equestrian and country space, understand and utilise their social media better, whether this is through my free or membership groups, or my weekly podcast. Being able to now go and help people in my area and wider online with their digital skills as part of the team is brilliant.
How does it work?
All #SheMeansBusiness trainers have geographical regions where they hold in person events – mine is Worcestershire, Shropshire and Herefordshire. However, Rhea is also the equestrian #SheMeansBusiness trainer due to her experience in the area. I have a Facebook group set up for my region and one set up for equestrians that they can join for free.
At the current time there’s a lot of online activity on the Enterprise Nation Facebook page, through specific meetings that people can attend online for free, and through discussion panels too. So far, I have been involved in all three and there are some exciting plans in the pipeline for the not too distant future too, with Enterprise Nation’s audiences, my geographical audiences, and the equestrian sector too.
“We are very excited to welcome Rhea onboard as an accredited She Means Business trainer. Her wealth of knowledge around social media, in particular helping small business owners grow online will be invaluable to our community,” said Lauren Malone, She Means Business Campaign Manager, Enterprise Nation

All online trainings will be promoted inside the group and when we can do in person events, they will also be promoted inside the group.
