Abstract:

Going for Growth is designed to support women who are serious about growing their businesses and are the owner manager of a business which has been trading for at least two years.
They offer:
- Peer support: Going for Growth is based on peer support. The monthly meetings are led by experienced Lead Entrepreneurs, who give of their time on a voluntary basis. Each Lead Entrepreneur selects up to nine participants to join her at a round table to look at common issues, share experiences and explore ideas and strategies for growing their businesses.
- Lead Entrepreneur: The most important attributes of the Lead Entrepreneurs are that they have experience of growing a business and have personal experience of the growth journey on which the participants are embarking.
- Collaboration: In a spirit of collaboration, the Lead Entrepreneurs act as role models to the selected participants and share their knowledge and experience with them. Each participant will find a group of likeminded women around the table. The businesses will be different but many of the issues will be similar. A circle of trust develops around the table and all matters discussed remain confidential.
