It is with great excitement that I write this blog about our new leadership programme for entrepreneurs and business owners Business Success Camp - Peer Learning & Leadership!
The reason I'm excited about this programme is because it's been in the making for over a year now. You can read about the course objectives and how it works here but let me tell you a little bit about my vision and dreams for this programme!
As a business owner myself and a savvy networker (if I do say so!!) I'm observing and working with micro enterprises every day - some of which are thriving and some who are just if barely surviving. In my discussions with these entrepreneurs, I'm hearing the following comments again and again..
"I feel like I'm firefighting all the time, when will it end"
"I'm shattered, I'm working harder than ever before and am feeling overwhelmed at times"
"I've been made redundant and I want to set up my own business but amn't sure about what I need to be doing. I dont really have a plan yet"
"What have they got that I haven't? They're thriving and I'm barely surviving at the moment"
It wasnt until I was out for dinner with a fellow colleague of Fingal County Enterprise Board (I'm network manager for Women In Business Network there!) and a mentoring client of mine that I realised what I could do to help these people....
Create a focused and practically applicable programme that gives entrepreneurs and business leaders a chance to exhale, recharge and re-strategise
So, I got to work on developing 2 day programme which will run in the opulent and beautifully relaxing venue of Dunboyne Castle Hotel. Mobiles, laptops and Blackberry devices will be left at the door and participants will dive into an intense yet refreshingly rewarding programme which has three fundamental themes to it;
- Peer sharing, learning and support
- Business specific - outcome focused - development sessions
- Focus on real business issues for the group
There will be 3 facilitators throughout the 2 days - Eve Bulman, Roy Sherry and Sara Morrissey - watch out, full profiles are coming soon!
I've also been very conscious of cost because this is a programme for small business leaders and entrepreneurs so we've capped the cost (which includes lunch, parking, refreshments, course materials and books) at just €450 per person.
If you're interested in learning more or know somebody that might be interested, please spread the word!!! You can even book online - or by phone or email too.
- Friday & Saturday October 9th & 10th
- Friday & Saturday November 6th & 7th
Looking forward to seeing you there!!
