The Public Speaking workshop will give participants some public speaking skills, including in-depth information on developing an engaging program and delivering their presentation with power.Learning

A transformative coaching session in The New Forest (Wiltshire), presented by Scaling Up coach Dominic Monkhouse.
Away from the uproar of the everyday commercial world, the Scaling Up Workshop will allow you the mental space to look at your business afresh – to recognise your strengths, your weaknesses and your opportunities.
Take your first step in the process of identifying and overcoming the real challenges confronting your business.
Dominic will guide you in understanding and implementing the tools you need to achieve rapid and sustainable growth.
Without the tools you need to grow your business…
You won’t scale your business
Your A-Players will lose trust in you and leave
You won’t get clarity on your vision
You’ll keep working too hard and not having enough fun
You won’t create the opportunities for your team
You won’t exit for maximum value
 
Take this opportunity to invest in your growth, and you will...
Identify Your Core Values – your genuine beliefs, not the glib, box-ticking platitudes adopted by most companies – and learn how to mould them into an authentic corporate ethos.
Spot And Engage Your Most Valuable Core Customers – having more customers won’t make you more money. Instead, it can cost you more in management time and extra infrastructure.
Identify and Reward Your Real A-Players – overhauling your recruitment to increase productivity and enrich the culture of your business.
Leave with your own Growth Workbook, a valuable tool in determining the ultimate purpose of your business, the identity of your core customer and your driving principles.
Get your copy of Scaling Up (Rockefeller Habits 2.0) by Verne Harnish, the founder of the EO organisation.
Get a copy of F**K PLAN B. Scale your technology business faster and achieve plan A, written by Dominic Monkhouse.
 
Other ambitious business leaders are already seeing amazing results...

With hands-on help from Lucy, you will learn the basic principles and techniques of macramé, and will build your confidence making small keyring designs. Using 100% cotton rope and a selection of coloured twines, you will then create your hand-crafted hanger. 
You can also bring along items you'd like to incorporate into your design, such as beads, jewellery and found objects such as twigs to make it truly personal.
Lucy will provide you with a helpful instruction manual to guide you through your project, which you can take home to remind you of the knots you learned.
