At our face to face meeting at Unity Yard, Holmfirth
WOW Team Accountability Membership
Initially called WOW Wednesdays, as we expand we are adding more groups in different places, so have changed the name of our overall Membership Group, to WOW Team – and that really is what we are all about, having your own personal Team who get behind you 100%.
We always welcome any new members, and are online as well as face to face, therefore able to open up membership to outside our local area (Huddersfield, West Yorkshire),so if you are interested, please contact us for information, using the contact form below, or by direct message on my Instagram
Newsflash – In April 2023 we began a new WOW Group in Holmfirth at Unity Yard on a Thursday 10.15am – 12pm approx (opposite Lidl) – For meeting dates please get in touch
In the meantime, to find out what the WOW Team is all about, please read on below….
Sometimes we take over the whole of Joys Coffee House!
About WOW Team
Wow Team is an Accountability Membership group which myself and Clair fromA Social Naturestarted in June 2019. Since then, It has grown in size and substance, and we are so proud of all this group has achieved! Read on to found out more…
WOW Team is all about creating an Accountability buddy group, to help us all grow and move forwards and is for people who;
work on their own
have their own business, or dreaming of one
have a creative side-business
are training or studying
or for people who simply have some really important goals they want to achieve.
The focus of the meetings is to commit to 3 things we would like to achieve work-wiseand 1 life goal, to work on over the following 2 weeks.
We then see how we did, cheer each other on and discuss things like procrastination, perfectionism, imposter syndrome – all the things that get in our own way!
We also talk about what strategies really work to overcome any struggles so that we all learn from each other.
And of course we celebrate the wins, big and small, hence the WOW Factor!
By being more accountable, it motivates and encourages us, and we are far more likely to get our tasks done! We also have a Facebook private group and Whats App, where we share interesting articles, tips and further motivation for the in-between moments of weakness!
Just some of the words used by the group to describe the WOW Team meetings
Miriam’s Kitchen Table was the first hostess for our meetings before lockdown!
The group is very friendly, everyone is welcome
We have a wide range of incredibly positive, skilled, talented and supportive people who love to engage and share ideas with the group, they really are a force to be reckoned with! Everyone’s business or big dream is different but we all have similar desires and challenges and that’s what makes the sessions really interesting and gets the conversation flowing.
Members have also naturally collaborated on things, sharing their skills and years of experience with each other; there’s nothing this talented and knowledgable group between themselves can’t get done.

WOW Retreats
In October 2023, we delivered our first WOW Retreat at Eden Forest CIC in Honley, which we all absolutely loved. For more details on this you can read the series of Blog posts I did on Substack about this nourishing and connecting experience:
WOW Retreats are also open to the public, but WOW Members will receive a reduced rate on the price. For more information, click here.

That way you get to see what we are all about, and meet the other members, just contact us below to find out when the next session is.
Here is new member Suzanne’s experience of joining the group, so you don’t have to just take our word on the benefits it provides:
Joining WOW has been instrumental in helping me launch my life coaching business. It has been so inspiring to be surrounded by people who have their own business and to hear about their different stories, challenges and triumphs. Through joining WOW and sharing my journey, I ended up meeting my first coaching client, a fellow WOW member, who I am still working with.
As a new member I have been able to access previous training. When I mentioned that one of my work goals was to get myself on LinkedIn, Clair recommended watching the video of Judy Parson’s training. Judy is known as ‘The LinkedIn lady’ and her session was excellent and really helped me to set up my profile and start connecting with people.
Another great contact I have made is with fellow WOW member Claire Tomkins from ‘Five Rubies’. I booked a 1:1 remote ‘Power Hour’ with Claire in which she helped me explore who my ideal client is and who I want to speak to with my content. She shared a quote which really resonated with me, ‘Clarity comes from action, not thought’ and this has inspired me to start taking small steps towards my goals, including publishing my first post on LinkedIn.
I love how supportive everyone is in this group and how each member gets the time and space to talk and be fully listened to. Members share advice and tips from their own experience, which is invaluable. Someone who is having a wobbly time, which we all do sometimes, will always leave feeling better!
I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined this fabulous group, it’s already helped me thrive and enriched my life more than I could have imagined”
