Women in Business

Identify what you want - then make it happen.

Ever wondered why some women are more successful than others? What gives them that confidence to create and drive a successful business and a fulfilling family life? This women-only one-day workshop will help you to identify what you want from life and business, and then give you practical, no-nonsense strategies to make it all happen.

Finding a little breathing space - time to think and to plan - is often impractical, if not impossible. This is a rare opportunity to focus on the big picture, so that your dreams don’t get lost in the demands of day-to-day life, and is tailored for both self-employed women who are following an entrepreneurial path and those working for established businesses.

Some women attending the workshop will be focused on personal effectiveness and leadership development; some on developing new businesses or projects; others will simply want a greater sense of ease in their life, with more time for family and fun. Whatever your personal goals, you can expect to leave with a clear idea of how to achieve them.
