Epic seminar offers adventurous route to success
People who want to start a business or make other life changes are invited to a fun and informative seminar that promises an adventurous route to success (Monday 11 June).
Entitled Epics, journeys and other adventures, the session will turn to stories and storytelling, looking at traditional adventure tales to reveal powerful lessons for people starting, or already running a business.
The seminar is also designed for people who coach entrepreneurs and others making life changes.
The free event will be held at the University of Bath in Swindon on Monday 11 June and starts at 7pm.
The seminar will be given by Roisin Murray from The Derbyshire Business School where she is Programme Leader in Business Coaching and Client Partnership Manager.
She describes herself as having had many adventures, from teenage mum to mature student, to civil servant and senior manager to business consultant. She developed a passionate interest in stories and story telling while studying for am MSc in Personal and Organisational Development.
"When we set out to run our own business, or change our career or life pattern we set out on a kind of adventure," said Ms Murray. "This seminar will help you to consider where you are on your journey, what kind of fellow adventurers you need to look for and what kind of prize you are seeking."
The seminar is part of the Business Hub's Coaching and Mentoring for All programme, funded by the European Social Fund. Further seminars with leading business speakers will run each month until October.
The events are open to all local business people but priority for places will be given to people from businesses with fewer than 250 employees. To book a free place visit http://www.bath.ac.uk/lifelong-learning/hubub/events
Thinking about parting company with your Business?
Barclays & Monahans Corporate Finance have some FREE Advice
Barclays and Monahans Corporate Finance Team are joining together to offer business owners some sound advice during a FREE seminar on Thursday 7th June 2007 at the Marriott Hotel, Pipers Way, Swindon.
Peter Lugg, Specialist Partner in Monahans Corporate Finance Team, and Sinead Waters of Barclays will lead the delegates through the processes of Succession Planning and give advice that will prove invaluable when you actually come to move on from your business.
The seminar will begin at 5.30pm and close at 6.30pm, with a chance to meet and network with other business owners and professionals from Barclays and Monahans after the main presentations, over a light buffet.
Peter had these comments “Business owners need to start planning very early on for when they will leave their business. I know it sounds crazy, but how the business performs, almost from day one, has a huge part to play when the time comes to pass it on, whether that is to family, as a management buy-out or a trade sale. To make sure you maximise your returns, you must start thinking about succession planning today.”
Ian O’Connor, now Managing Director of Superior Creative, will also share some of his experiences from leading a successful Management Buy-Out team. The MBO Team led by Ian purchased this major creative design and printing company in 2005.
This seminar is a must for anyone who owns their own business, as one day it will be time to move on. It will cover
- Why planning years in advance is vitally important
- The options that will be available to you
- How to transform your returns
- Available finance options
- Ensuring the business ends up in the right hands
