Lauren has created a wonderfully authentic and safe space to grow genuine connections with likeminded women. I'm definitely more confident about being myself in my business. I'm less afraid to ask for help, and I don't experience imposter syndrome half as much as I used to. Affinity has helped me with this. I love the networking sessions, and I've made great friends, collaborations and clients since I've been here. I can't praise this group enough!

Lauren has brought an incredible community of female entrepreneurs together and done something amazing no other networking group has done that I've found so far, she's made networking online enjoyable and not at all terrifying (as is so often the case for us introverts). No icky, boring sales pitches, no competing against one another to out to do each other; just raw, honest, authentic community spirit and collaboration between other female business owners. It's a safe space to be your most vulnerable, honest self and I've made genuine friends for life within this group of extraordinary women, as well as finding so many of my dream clients to work with as well. Thank you Lauren for providing us with this space and everything you do to supports us all. xxx

I can’t express highly enough about the Affinity women’s networking community. It is an ethical, friendly and so much fun way to get connected with other business women in a very different and thoughtful way and I am truly grateful to find this community. This is a very safe and conscious space where us women can support each other, and there is nothing catty about it whatsoever. If anything Lauren will take care of it straight away to bring harmony and you can definitely count on her. If you are looking for a women’s business community where there is abundant support and cheer, then this is the networking group you need to check out and you won’t regret it…..especially if you are shy and not good at networking like I was!

I've always loved some aspects of the networking experience, particularly the opportunity to meet new people, but there have been many times throughout my business journey where networking has felt inauthentic, uncomfortable and forced. I've paid huge sums of money to be part of networking groups that have done nothing to help me grow as a person or further my business. I've experienced 60 second pitches that lacked soul and I've been sold to without any attempt to build a relationship and check whether the product/service being offered is actually a good fit for me. You won't find any of these things at Affinity. When I stumbled across Affinity, I didn't know that it was exactly what I had been looking for all along. I instantly felt like these were my people and this was the kind of place I wanted to hang out. Everyone was so warm, so welcoming, so supportive, not only this, but so honest and open about the highs and lows of business which helped me to feel less alone. Since I've been actively hanging out with the affinity crowd I have made life long friends, met incredible business women who I can collaborate with, women who can support me in my business growth and also women who I can help Flourish and who have become my soulmate clients. I'd recommend Affinity to anyone who is looking to grow themselves and their business, who would like to give and receive support and is open-minded about how networking can add value to every aspect of their life. Affinity has supported my business in so many ways and I will be forever grateful for the people I have met and the support I get to experience every single day from this beautiful community.

It's been 12 months since I joined Affinity Networking and it's a networking like no other. I've built so many great relationships and connections and my business has grown as a result. It's also helped me personally. Lauren has truly created an amazing space

I've worked with Lauren a few times and more recently, I've booked 1-2-1 coaching sessions with her. She is fantastic! After every session, I feel like I have clarity, I have a plan to take my business to where I want it to be and most importantly, I feel excited about what the future holds. Lauren is a real inspiration, she knows how to motivate me and she takes the time to really understand my business, so I fully trust her advice and I'm confident that she's going to help me reach my goals. We've already hit a few goals together after just a couple of sessions! If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable and fun coach who is going to help you get results, then I would recommend Lauren!

I attended an Ideal Client workshop with Lauren. I was bought into the idea of an ideal client but it scared me to single out a specific person that I would like to work with. We worked through a workbook and discussed all the elements of our ideal client. Lauren questioned our thoughts and challenged us to think deeper. Her style is caring but challenging and I really liked that. By the end of the workshop I felt so much more confident. I would recommend this workshop and working with Lauren to everyone!

I have started my business around a year ago, and it got to the point when I felt like there is something missing. I wasn't feeling very confident with being visible and someone suggested to have a brand photoshoot. I was super nervous about doing it, but I felt like this is what I need to do. I have booked a photoshoot with Lauren and this was THE BEST DECISION EVER. Yes, I was a little worried as I've never done anything like that, but just after having an initial chat with Lauren I knew I made the right decision. We've had a lovely meeting to discuss my values, my purpose, to work out who is my ideal client etc. Just that meeting made me see myself from a different perspective, Lauren pointed out so many things that I wasn't even aware of, she made me fall in love with my business even more, and that was before our photoshoot. You can only imagine how excited I was to get into the actual photos. On the day of shoot I was slightly nervous, but we sat down first to have a cup of coffee, we started talking and it was like a chat with on old friend, so relaxed, and conversation was flowing. Lauren took her camera out and started taking pics, she made the whole process so easy and I didn't even feel like I have to pose, she just captured the moments so beautifully, we've had so much laughter. I can not even put it in words how proud I was when I saw my pictures, I totally love them. I have started using them on my social media, they have completely changed the look of my website. Sorry I have to say Lauren has made my website look just fabulous and professional. She is not only a great photographer but she also helped me redesign my website in a way that I can't even describe!!! Every time I look at my website I feel so happy and I'll say it again- PROUD. My business started to feel so much more real it's unbelievable , I have became so much more confident in what I do and what I charge. I started getting more clients, which is amazing. I am ever so grateful to Lauren, she is an expert, she is super talented, super funny and easygoing. She will make you fall in love with your business ( and yourself) all over again. I can not recommend Lauren enough. And to say THANK YOU is just not enough.

I've had the pleasure of working with Lauren over multiple projects this year. She helped me launch my new business with her brand visibility coaching programme and then my brand photoshoot, which was one of the funnest days I've had in ages and my photos are EPIC! And now I'm part of Lauren's networking group, which is the friendliest networking and online community I've ever been part of. I look forward to it each week and have made some lovely connections! Lauren is an amazing human to work with and to have in your life. She's knowledgable in so many fields, approachable, friendly, honest and so willing to support you in any way. In fact she goes above and beyond for others. Thanks to Lauren I'm proud of my new business and what I've achieved with her support. I have much more clarity on my goals, my values and my ideal client! I'd 100% recommended Lauren for coaching, a photoshoot and networking. Just sign up to everything like I did! :)

I’ve only been a member of Lauren’s Brand Visibility Facebook group for a few months and I can honestly say it is the best business group I have come across. Aside from the content, value and networking on offer, the energy of the group is just amazing. It is a truly collaborative, supportive group of genuine business women looking to lift each other up. The laughs are brilliant too! I should also say, this is the ONLY group I belong to where I have the notifications switched ON because I don’t want to miss anything. Big fan. Thank you Lauren for creating such an authentic and supportive group of super savvy business women 💛

I have worked with Lauren at LaHu Brand Visibility on several occasions now and cannot recommend her highly enough. She has coached me on how to identify my ideal client for my business and has an amazing ability to get right to the heart of my mindset blocks and help me to overcome these. Working with Lauren has given me the confidence to move my business forward. I also have some fab new logos designed by Lauren!

I first started working with Lauren during the first lockdown 2020 and she has totally transformed the way I think about myself and my Hypnotherapy business. I felt so out of my comfort zone and vulnerable before starting work on my Brand with Lauren, I knew absolutely nothing about branding and I didn't think it was something I actually needed. Fast forward 8 months and I can honestly say that without her help, support, insight and not letting me hide behind excuses she has transformed me and the way I view my business. Recently I did a mini Maven Brand shoot with Lauren, having my photo taken isn't something I feel comfortable with, but the photos are amazing and have captured the essence of who I am. Lauren is building me a new website and I absolutely love it. She has created something that feels right, it looks right and I am over the moon with what I have seen so far. Lauren has made a huge difference to me, my life and my business. I know that I wouldn't be the person I am now if our paths hadn't crossed in 2020. I have fallen back in love with my Hypnotherapy business and Lauren keeps reminding me that I am good at what I do when I have doubts. Thank you Lauren Hughes, you amazing human being

I spotted a Facebook recommendation for Lauren's networking sessions and decided to try them out for myself. Lauren's whole approach to networking is a breath of fresh air and so refreshingly different to the fast paced pitching in other groups. You get to make real, 1-1 connections - supporting and encouraging each other, rather than doing a hard sell. At my first event I met a future client and went on to write her website content for her. I would definitely recommend joining Lauren's networking community.

I've been working with Lauren on her 90-Day Program. She's brilliant at asking the right question and (gently) pushing me to think more deeply about how my values inform my business. As a result, I'm clearer on who I want to work with and why -- which means I'm communicating that more clearly than ever and attracting the right clients! Our coaching sessions are always fun and supportive, and they've reignited my passion for my business!

I love the group and vibe Lauren has created. Lauren herself is an expert in all she does around brand photography, ideal clients, brand voice etc... and she's created a fantastic group that's supportive and safe for fellow business women.

If you want to be a part of something special it’s so worth showing up for the meetings, you get to be surrounded by wonderful women all like you just wanting to connect and share. It’s really lovely warm networking. I actually don’t worry about how to sell myself, it’s more about the lovely community that’s been created here. I went to a business expo the other day and I just wanted to hide in the corner, it just wasn’t me and it felt quite intimidating. Which is the exact opposite of how I feel here. As another member said, we are all mirrors to your energy that you bring to the space. So big congratulations to you for all your efforts to make this very special. Regular meetings, three times a week if you wanted to, over a thousand people on Facebook to connect with and huge amounts of added content for members to enjoy. All for the cost of a meal out. It’s a no brainer to me. I look forward to meeting you online so I can probably never mention what I do for a living because I’m just loving the chat!! Ok I’m a hands on therapist, meditation teacher and all round supporter of people, just so you know, right let’s have a proper chat!!

I recently signed up for the Community membership in LaHu Brand Visibility, and have just started exploring the toolkit there...wow! I've watched a half hour video on ideal clients and am feeling so super inspired already! I didn't expect to feel so connected so quickly, even with the pre-recorded info, but it's really hit home that I've made a great decision for myself and my business - and I just wanted to shout about it here because I'm feeling so uplifted because of it. Plus I didn't need to spend a fortune to access all this, only £5 per month, which thankfully I can afford and in my opinion is well worth the money.

An amazing lady whose enthusiasm and knowledge has been helping me immensely with my re-brand and direction. Highly recommend
