Business Owner Programme

The scheduling of these programmes have been developed to ensure that you are not away from your customers for extended times.  

Business Planning

This is a 10 hour program that will support the business owner to identify and document where it is they want their business to go.  It will be grounded by assessing where they are now and how they can best build on their past experiences.  Clear and well defined targets will be identified and a plan for achieving them.    The programme will be conducted over 2 days with a 1 week break between sessions and would ideally be off-site.

Negotiation Skills

Many businesses are challenged to find an efficient and effective means of debt collection or alternatively credit negotiation.  There are a number of key strategies that can be learned that can make this a more effective and less stressful process.  This programme can be provided to an individual company or a number of companies can come together to participate in a workshop that will take place as 2 x 0.5 day workshops.

Creating the Structures to support Business Growth

Sole Traders and small businesses can experience difficulties in dealing with the separate processes of “doing the work”; “getting the work” and “building the business”.   Handing over parts of the business to others can be very difficult.  It is essential that you have the confidence that those to whom you hand over part of your business, cannot fail.  Putting in processes that will give you that confidence can be very beneficial.  This programme would start with a half day workshop to understand the issues and then together the critical processes that would benefit from being formalised will be developed.

Time Management

Small business owners often work long hours, with the phone constantly left on and in doing so develop patterns of behaviour that are not good for their long term health.  However in order to create time for real rest and relaxation they need to make changes in their business processes to achieve significant results.  This programme is an ongoing weekly coaching programme with a one hour session each week to develop a gradual process of change to support the health and well being of the business owner.
