This programme is specifically aimed at women who run SMEs with the focus on enabling you to expand your business.
This ‘Women in Business Peer Network’ programme is for you if you:
· Want to grow your business
· Increase your personal confidence levels
· Develop leadership and managerial skills
· Are looking for new ways to innovate products or services
· Want to overcome challenges facing women business owners
Both men and women have many issues when growing their business however research has found that women in particular are faced with more challenges than men. Areas like shortage of funding/psychological barriers and bias against women/fear of failure/lack of networks and mentors as well as juggling childcare and growing a business were the key areas cited in September 2020 by the Telegraph.
Specific topics to be explored throughout this programme will be agreed by the individuals participating and be based on their current challenges. Such areas may include finance/sales and marketing as well as less tangible ones that are holding women back ie dealing with imposter syndrome/ time management and or confidence issues.
Each session will include exploring critical business issues that hold you back and provide solutions and support from your fellow peers.
This invaluable support and knowledge from likeminded women and a qualified experienced facilitator will help you generate actions to propel your business in the direction you want it to go.
