Don’t miss our upcoming Business Breakfast event, taking place at The Wych Elm Kingston. This event is the perfect opportunity to meet and connect with other like-minded individuals from various industries and business sizes, while learning from our expert guest speakers and enjoying a delicious breakfast.
Guest Speaker:
Talk: Making the second half count: a mid-year review
Mid-year is a natural moment to pause. With six months behind us and six ahead, it’s the perfect time to ask: are we on track, are we focused on the right things, and what needs to change before it’s too late?
Join us for a business breakfast where our speaker, Paul Shaw, a business coach and mentor, Mercatus Cosulting, will share a practical approach to reviewing your objectives. Together, we will use the time to think clearly about what the next six should look like. Expect an interactive session, where you reflect on your objectives, share what’s working, and leave with a clearer picture of where to focus.
This is a great opportunity for people who’d rather know where they are now, than find out at the end of the year.
