For small business owners, finding the time, and finding the right people, to explore emerging risks and opportunities with, is often the biggest challenge. To answer that challenge, ‘Let’s Talk About . .’ is back for a second series of bite size, interactive events, dedicated to small business owners who want to really think about where they are now, and the actions they need to take to succeed in this unpredictable new world.

Getting stuff done!

Tips on what works - and what doesn't - from the playbook of Henry VIII's greatest Mr Fixer: Thomas Cromwell

The BBC's superb production of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall undoubtedly introduced Thomas Cromwell to a whole new audience - offering us, perhaps, a more nuanced character than the man we may have encountered at school. Whatever we make of him in the context of 21st century mores - enlightened reformer, or social saboteur - there is no disputing the fact that he 'got stuff done', mainly for the benefit of his capricious, endlessly demanding master, Henry VIII - yet always with an eye to his own agenda. Hosted by Karen Carpenter, this is an interactive zoom event, during which we will explore some of Cromwell's most extraordinary achievements to identify, what worked well, what cost him his head, and how these lessons might apply to modern business.
