Precious Awards 2012 Usage: Precious OnlyOver the last 5 or 6 years I’ve been delighted to be the co-host of The PRECIOUS Awards which spotlights, celebrates and rewards the accomplishments of women of colour in business and the workplace. 

Nominations for the 2014 awards opened last month at an event at the British Library’s Business & IP Centre where I’ve also been proud to have served as life/business coach partner for many years. The centre have themselves done much to support women and those of diverse backgrounds.  See the highlights video below
