Ute Wieczorek-King (Success Network Founder) on Twitter:
"Welcome to Success Network! I enjoy running this fabulous community, being a champion for women in business, inspiring and empowering them to succeed.
I specialise in helping busy women to have more time, be more focused, effective, productive and profitable in business.
I have written an Ebook and a number of articles on different topics, including stress, time and change. I also enjoy organising and facilitating events, including our largest International Women's Day event for over 100 people, to smaller training events and the Inner Circle Business Clubs, which I founded in 2007.
On a personal note I am happily married and with three grown up children, and have first hand experience of the challenges of balancing a successful business with other commitments and the stress caused by major change. My personal time is very special to me, especially spending quality time with my family and 'down' time to recharge my batteries. My future plans involve writing a book about change, and experiencing some of the world's most famous train journeys!

My professional background:
I started my first business in 1992, uwk languages, a corporate language training provider. With a professional background in education and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, I grew my business steadily over 10 years. I specialised in a niche market with large IT/ Telecoms companies, offering much in demand, innovative training services and delivering a personalised service.
When my business was affected by training cuts and job losses as a result of the dot.com crash, I founded ‘uwk coaching’ in 2002 and was one of the first independent coaches in the East Berkshire area.
Offering executive performance coaching & cross-cultural coaching for individuals within the IT sector, career and work-life balance coaching for staff and members of a large leisure organisation, I later also added small business coaching for women in business. This eventually led to co-founding Success Network in 2005 with my colleague Mary Fraser.
"Ute is an eloquent and highly experienced business coach and mentor who gains a quick and deep understanding of your business. She steers and guides you towards your goals in no time at all.” T. Booth
My husband and I run a web design company, and although we were bringing in great contracts, growing the business was impeded by poor business processes and a lack of future planning. Ute took on board our individual working styles and helped us to work out solutions appropriate for ourselves and our business.
By helping us with regular planning and scheduling, we are able to be more efficient with our time and thus make the company more productive and profitable. Working with Ute helped us to achieve a clear distinction between work and personal areas and substantially reduced our stress levels.
I recommend Ute to anyone running their own business. She is skilled at working closely with her clients so that any new ways of working really do work for that individual. It is often said that small business owners are focused ‘in’ the business not ‘on’ the business and this was certainly true for us. I consider Ute to be a valuable asset to our business." N. Ganpatsingh - Director Creatrix Ltd
"I cannot speak highly enough of Ute. She is professional, knowledgeable and discreet. She makes you see clearly what you may already know and turns the information into a positive, even if you believe it is negative. If you are considering using a Business Coach please do speak to Ute, as she will make a great difference to your business or employment." S. Horton, Freelance Director of Fundraising
"Coaching with Ute has led to a period of rapid development for 'Just Ideas', which was based on establishing a clear plan, re-prioritising our work, delegating through associates and other new approaches. These have helped to increase the turnover of the company and fostered a feeling of being more in control.
I have found Ute to be a creative and constructive thinker who is able to draw on her own wide experience to enable changes which have improved how we work. Ute is both professional and friendly in her approach to the coaching that we have received.
My personal involvement with Ute focused on increasing my confidence in tendering and presenting for pieces of new work. Following this support I have been successful in bringing in two new projects for Just Ideas. We look forward to continuing to develop our company and our personal skills with the support of Ute." R. Usher, Director, Just Ideas Ltd
"Ute provides a wonderful support network for women in business. She runs the Success Network - a formal networking group where common business problems are discussed and solved. She also organises huge events for International Women's Day which are great fun whilst being informative. I have also had a 1-1 with Ute when she helped me to brainstorm many ideas for my business. I have always found Ute to be supportive and friendly. She has a huge number of contacts in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. A fantastic lady to know.” Annie O'Neill, Divorce Coach
