Who should attend?

If you believe that being and entrepreneur is more than strategy, pitch decks and financial forecasts and:

  • Have taken business risks that put you on ‘edge’?
  • Felt the ‘ups and downs’ of realising your ambitions?
  • Stretched your decision making to the limit?
  • Lie awake at night thinking about the challenges ahead?

You WILL benefit from this unique and proactive Masterclass to learn new powerful entrepreneurial tools in a way that no business class, ‘self-help’ book, YouTube video will help you.

This masterclass is based on two decades of business experience from turning a redundancy payment into a successful profitable business, working on multimillion Euro cleantech projects, leading sustainability initiatives for billionaire property moguls and monetising disruptive clean technology.

 

Objectives for attendees of this Masterclass, you will:

  • Understand the truth about business failure and learn to protect your business
  • Learn ‘real world approach’ to assess business challenges
  • Learn to ‘power’ your negotiations & sales and grow your business confidence
  • Review and rebuild your business model to attract investors and build traction
  • Discover your ‘authenticity’ to become a happier and more connected entrepreneur

 

This not a ‘listen and learn’ Masterclass

This is a journey to build a new powerful business capability within you, to discover the hidden opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in your business journey.

The two days will be active, challenging, humorous and stretching –preparing you for a better future.

The business model that you arrive with may not be the same as the one you leave with. Whatever the shape and size of your plans, you will be better prepared for the future than before you arrived.

This not an ‘inspiration’ event, but a proactive workout, an entertaining and engaging Masterclass. You will take back an action plan to give you greater confidence to achieve your business ambitions. You will also get the opportunity to arrange a one to one session to address  any business concerns that might arise from this Masterclass.
