Latest events: Free webinars - Introduction to Character Strengths. Join Matthew Porter at one of our free online events to help you uncover and maximise your character strengths.
What’s the offer? Fully funded one-to-one coaching to cultivate interest in and develop of enterprise opportunities
What does it aim to achieve? To increase enterprise in targeted areas and amongst under-represented groups through coaching and referral to mainstream business support services. Where enterprise isn’t the right option for individuals, coaches may also help them find alternative routes into economic activity.
Who’s eligible? Those eligible for Enterprise Coaching are:
- People who are under-represented in enterprise, people who may have a great idea and are struggling to get it off the ground, people who are currently economically inactive and who reside outside of large towns and cities
- Founders and entrepreneurs with new or existing micro businesses to grow
The typical coaching process through which we would guide each individual or enterprise would be:
- Delivery of “Appetiser Events” in selected market towns & rural communities, to bring entrepreneurs together to explore opportunities.
- Diagnosis and support plan development, offering business ‘health check’ face to face assessment to identify issues, strengths and opportunities.
- Provision of 1-2-1 specialist business coaching and specialist support activities.
What to look out for? A mix of events, workshops, face-to-face, telephone and online coaching, plus an e-learning resource.
