  CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY
  Masterclass: Business Planning

  Course details:  

  Whether you’re just starting out, or running an established business, being asked to write a business plan can feel a little daunting.  But it doesn’t have to be.  In this session, we’ll look at why a business plan can help you achieve success, what it should cover, who it’s aimed at and how to approach it. 

  “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. (Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Caroll).

  Who is it for? Business leaders

  What will I get out of it?  An understanding of the value of a good business plan and tips on how to go about writing one.

  Who is it by:  Lisa Kerr of Consulting with Kerr Ltd.  Lisa is an award-winning business adviser. She has worked with companies of all sizes across a range of sectors and geographies, from global professional services firms to regional SMEs. Lisa supports leaders with business plans, financial planning, grant applications and operational productivity, with a specialism in helping business owners who are planning to exit the business in 3 to 5 years.

  Peer Mentoring Taster Session

  Imagine having access to a network of business leaders you can rely on for honest advice, support, and fresh ideas. Better yet, imagine offering that same support to others.

  Our Peer Mentoring programme has been running successfully for 13 years. Each group is made up of business owners from a variety of industry sectors and skills, brought together in a confidential and professionally facilitated environment.

  Come along to this taster session to find out more about the programme and how you can join an upcoming group!
  

  What will Peer Mentoring give you?

  • Time to work on (rather than in) your business
  • The opportunity to explore challenges in a confidential environment
  • A group of like-minded business owners who can become your trusted ‘go-to’s’
  • A unique blend of challenge and support from your group
  • Suggestions for developing or niching down your business offer
  • Explore practical solutions to common business problems
  • Increase resilience to manage future challenges

  What is Peer Mentoring? The Peer Mentoring Groups consist of 8-12 business owners from different business areas who are willing to learn from and support each other by sharing their expertise and varied skill sets in a confidential environment. All the programmes have at their core the concept of Action Learning – this is ‘learning by doing’, focusing on group members’ real business challenges and identifying practical actions they can take to solve them. An experienced facilitator guides the group and holds members accountable.

  This is what a previous group member said  about the programme: 
  "I first decided to give Peer Mentoring a go when I was a sole trader looking to expand my business. The group gave me a safe place to air my worries and a monthly 'board of directors' to hold me accountable to achieving my business goals bit by bit. Even years later I have strong relationships with my fellow peers that I still use today. The Chamber's programme helped me hold on to my business and change it so it suited me better. In fact, I don't think I'd even be in business without signing up to Peer Mentoring. It has to be one of the best business decisions I have ever made."

  Come along to this taster session to find out more about the programme and how you can join an upcoming group!

  Date: Thursday 27th February 
  Time: 9:30am - 12:30pm

  CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY
  Masterclass: Managing Difficult Conversations

  Are you tired of the dread, sleepless nights, and racing heart that come with tough conversations? 

  This course will help you move from procrastination and avoidance to calm confidence. You’ll learn to manage your emotions, read the situation and the other person more effectively, and craft a winning strategy.
  

  You’ll know it’s a difficult conversation because:

  • You procrastinate and put it off
  • You'll be relieved they haven't turned up or are off sick
  • Your stomach is churning
  • You had trouble sleeping the night before ‘the chat’
  • Your heart is racing
  • You get tongue tide
  • You avoid bumping into them
  • It's taking up too much space and time in your head

  Let’s learn how to calm all of this down, take control and feel confident and even ‘relaxed’ when dealing with difficult situations and people.

  Stages of Mastery

  1. Why you feel the way you do and why this is important to understand; move from dread to calm competence

  2.Mind reading. What are they thinking and doing; exploring assumptions and reality

  3.Putting it all together in a strategy that works – using the Flourish L E A P system

  When you walk away

  1. You will know how to manage your own emotions and thoughts so that you can regain control and lead the conversation.

  2.You will be better able to assess the other person to plan the conversation more competently.

  3.You will have some strategies in influencing others and the Flourish L E A P system.

  How to make the most of the training

  1.Instead of note taking – tool take; make a list of short phrases that remind you of a specific technique you want to use in the future. This is then an easy to access toolkit

  2. Identify as many low risk situations in which to practice the tools, choose small conversations that you are not dreading where you want to make a shift or change. This could be at work, at home, with friends, in community groups or even with common interest groups like sports or book clubs.

  3. Commit to the mastery changes you need to make (we will look at them in detail within the training)

  Who is it by: Lainy Russell, Flourish Coaching, Training & Development.
  Our specialised training and coaching programs dive deep into the science of human behaviour. We equip you and your teams with the skills to enhance performance, manage behaviours, resolve conflicts, and thrive under pressure.
