Let's Talk About . . .

With the new UK government prioritizing economic growth and the first budget due shortly, organisations large and small are focusing their attention on what this really means for the future of their business - and adjusting their plans accordingly. For small business owners, finding the time, and finding the right people to have these conversations with, is often the biggest challenge. ‘Let’s Talk About . .’ is a new series of five bite size, interactive events for small business owners who want to really think about where they are now, and the actions they need to take to succeed in this new world. Hosted by Karen Carpenter, Executive & Small Business Coach, each event will focus on one key aspect of business planning, critical to ongoing success.

SPOOKED

What's keeping you awake this Halloween?

Mummies and vampires, ghosts and ghouls – we all encounter a few monsters in our business from time to time. Some cross our paths in the guise of difficult situations thrust upon us, others we create for ourselves. How we respond can have a huge impact, often determining the limits of our ongoing success. Hosted by Karen Carpenter, Executive and Small Business Coach, this is an interactive event during which we will explore some of the common threats to our business, and consider how we might finally exchange the nightmare for the dream.

TWO DATES AVAILABLE:
Monday 28 October, 2024: 7.25 - 8.30 pm
Tuesday 29 October, 2024: 12.25 - 1.30 pm

This is a Network & Grow Zoom Event

Gunpowder, Treason & Plot!

What the failed attempt to blow up the English parliament in 1605 can teach us about risk management in modern business.

'Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot!'

Immortalised in the words of this nursery rhyme, most UK children grow up familiar with the story of Guy Fawkes & the Gunpowder Plot. In actual fact, the leader of the plot was not Guy Fawkes but the charismatic Robert Catesby, a young man with passion, vision, courage & influence – qualities we generally deem essential for modern leaders.Yet the project was doomed to failure almost from the very start & is, these days, believed by many to have been actively facilitated by government agents as a complex & elaborate trap intended to eliminate the suspected threat posed by recusant Catholics living in a largely Protestant country. Hosted by Karen Carpenter, Executive and Small Business Coach, this will be an interactive event during which we will explore how the lessons of November 1605 can help us manage the risks inherent within our own projects, avoiding the fireworks, & increasing the odds of a successful conclusion.

TWO DATES AVAILABLE
Monday 4 November, 2024: 7.20 - 9.00 pm
Tuesday 5 November, 2024: 12.20 - 2.00 pm

Flying Solo!

The online thinking community for solopreneurs

Being your own boss is tough. It's hard graft, doing lots of things you never prepared for, on top of all the things you did prepare for!! It can be scary, and it's often really lonely! In fact, one of the most common reasons sole traders and micro-business owners seek out a coach is because they have no one else they trust enough to talk things through with. Hosted by Karen Carpenter, and Kristina Rosenqvist, FLYING SOLO is an opportunity for solopreneurs to come together once a month for the purposes of exploring some of the everyday challenges of running a business in a safe, reflective community of equals. It will be participant led and is likely to include discussions relating to building personal and business resilience, as well as elements of goal setting and mutual accountability. The format will be a blend of networking, group coaching, and mastermind principles and has been designed especially for those on limited budgets. Only those serious about developing their business should apply

Evening and Lunchtime options, dates and times to be confirmed (time commitment 75 - 90 minutes)

Minimum 3 - Maximum 6 people per group

In region of £20 per person depending on final numbers
