Northampton-woman Lisa Warner has reached the final of the O2 Entrepreneur of the Year Awards being held in London tonight (29^th September 2009).

Lisa, a mother of four and founder of FINK family conversation cards is one of only eight finalists from around the country to reach the final.

The winner will be announced at a glittering awards ceremony being held at Paramount on New Oxford Street in London.

Lisa first came up with the idea of family and teenage question cards to make meal times less hectic and to ensure the short time the whole family spent together was meaningful.

Lisa said: “I came up with the idea of a series of question cards that the whole family answered while eating a meal together. The children immediately began to look forward to sitting around the table giving their answers and we all had a chance to share our thoughts and experiences with each other.”

Using the principles of her homemade cards, Lisa launched Fink Cards in September 2008 to promote conversation and help people of all ages to become both good listeners and confident communicators.

The product has since received praise from parents, teachers and family communication experts who now see Fink Cards as ‘an invaluable aid’ in the classroom and the best way of ‘persuading your taciturn children to do more than grunt at mealtimes’.

Good Luck Lisa
