Whether you spent your summer disconnecting in the cabin in the woods, relaxing at a fancy beach resort, hiking in the mountains, reuniting with the family abroad or soaking up the sun on a surprisingly warm Dutch beach, we hope it brought you rest, renewal or inspiration for new projects.

It may take a moment to transition back into our routines and find our rhythm again. Perhaps the new season brings new beginnings – a change of school, new clients or exciting new projects. While it can feel a little bittersweet (who doesn’t miss walking through the morning dew barefoot down to the river with a cup of strong coffee, bathing in the morning sounds of nature? I know I do!), there is also comfort in the familiar pace and structure of city life and the purpose it brings. 

So, welcome back with new energy, new ideas, perhaps even a new sense of balance and wisdom. May it help us connect more deeply with ourselves and others, and carry on the warmth and clarity of summer. 

Before fully settling into autumn routines and to ease into your post-holiday season, we invite you to reconnect with your fellow WBII members and learn some valuable insights on a very relevant topic at an event on 28 August ‘AI – a blessing or a curse for business owners?’ with Louisa Stewart, an expert in tech, automation and user journey management. 

Together we will examine the growth of AI in business and its impact on business owners, and learn how to utilize AI to manage your workload effectively.

We can’t wait to see you there!
