I help people make the transition from working for a big institution to working for themselves. This help can take several forms:

• Workshops – typically a highly intensive, fast-moving and interactive all-day session for small groups, giving participants a comprehensive and pragmatic “starter pack”
• Mentoring – one-to-one sessions steeped in pragmatism and tailored to suit the individual, running through the planning, launch and growth phases
• Clinics – practical question and answer sessions in small groups covering issues arising in planning, launch and growth phases
• “Masterclasses” – in-depth sessions, typically two hours in duration, for small groups on specific aspects relating to business start-up, launch and growth

For more information on how I can help you, please call or email me directly.

Perhaps running your own business is not for you? I am very aware what an exciting, but potentially confusing time, reviewing your career can be. I have therefore entered in to a strategic alliance with Gateway Careers; whilst I will continue to focus on people setting up their own business, Peter Wilford and his colleagues at Gateway can offer a comprehensive, bespoke and sensitive service in terms of career developement and change, which in many cases will not involve business start-up. If you believe that the own business route is not for you, or premature, then I would encourage you to contact Peter and his team on www.gatewaycareers.co.uk
