Hi Everyone. I'm very excited to have been asked to design and deliver a new programme in Dundee for the Creative Entrepreneurs' Club. It starts on September 11th. I've loved doing one to one sessions with creatives and businesses across Scotland but I'm really looking forward to working with a group of people over two whole months to make a difference to their creative practice, business or social enterprise. More info below including links for registration and a chat about course content and whether this is the right programme for you. DESIGN YOUR PRACTICE DUNDEE
Do you want your creative business or practice to achieve more? Does orientating and establishing yourself seem overwhelming? Or have you been going for some time and feel that things aren’t happening? Design Your Practice in Dundee is a structured 8 week programme that will take your creative practice, your business or your social enterprise to the next level. Led by professional practitioners with real-life experience of the creative and business world, it’s a programme that stretches and supports you to asks and answers the big questions about what you're doing. Combatting the isolation that many entrepreneurs deal with, it’s an opportunity for you to level up what you’re doing and to learn skills and develop insight that will help you make decisions and act on them. The programme will equip you with a raft of tools and competencies for use now and in the future, keeping you on track to progress and reach your goals.
The programme is suitable for:
Creative and social businesses who are seeking to become more focussed, resourceful and sustainable.
Established creative and social businesses who are plateauing or have established a need to shift.
Pre-start up creative and social businesses who have a business idea which requires testing.
Those juggling employment or life commitments whilst setting up or managing a creative or social business or creative practice.
