WHAT are the secrets of success, and how do you make a good first impression?

The Ealing-based group was started by Joanne Sumner, a local entrepreneur, who runs her own business as well as groups in Chiswick and Barnes. Athena also gives women an opportunity to chat, swap ideas and seek advice in an informal atmosphere.
