SUMMARY:How to Have Difficult Conversations ..and do them well!
DESCRIPTION:Most business owners and leaders want a team that’s proactive\, accountable and engaged.\nThey hold meetings\, set expectations\, give feedback and make themselves available and somehow\, it’s still not working. \nThey explain things clearly\, yet mistakes keep happening.\nThey check in regularly\, but people still seem disengaged.\nThey send follow-up emails\, yet deadlines are still missed.\nThey try to be approachable\, yet tension and unspoken frustrations linger.\nThey assume silence means agreement\, but people leave meetings with different understandings.\nThey expect professional behaviour\, yet conflict\, negativity and resistance still show up. And when these issues persist\, they either repeat themselves or give up\, hoping things will improve on their own. \nIf you’ve ever felt anxious about having difficult conversations\, worried about how someone might react\, put off discussions until frustration takes over\, or felt like your team isn’t quite following through as you’d like them to\, this workshop is for you.\nYou’ll learn how to handle tough conversations with confidence\, plan and structure discussions so they’re productive (not stressful!)\, reduce resistance\, build trust and finally feel in control of the conversations you’ve been avoiding. \nParticipants say this workshop has been a game-changer. \nOne client shared\, “I used to avoid confrontation at all costs\, but Christine gave me a process that actually works. It’s helped not just in my business but even at home with my teenage daughter.” \nAnother said\, “I wish I’d done this years ago—it’s exactly what I needed.” \nIf you’ve been avoiding conversations that matter\, don’t waste another month hoping things will improve on their own. \nLimited spots available—this is a hands-on session and you will work through the 6 steps to frame your specific conversation.

SUMMARY:Fundable and Compliant CIC Set-Up Program
DESCRIPTION:Here’s the rundown on our Fundable and Compliant CIC Set-Up Program. \nThe focus is to help you establish a legally compliant CIC (Community Interest Company) that is fully fundable and ready to apply for your first grant. \nThe aim is to guide you through every step so that you’re not overwhelmed by the complexities of setting up your CIC. We’ll give you everything you need to get a fundable\, compliant CIC set up while also ensuring you have the skills and knowledge to apply for funding to get your community projects off the ground. \nNo guesswork. No wasted time. No overwhelming online research. \nThe only tools you need are your computer and internet connection. \nWe will solve the 3 biggest challenges stopping business owners like you from setting up a CIC: \n\nLack of Knowledge\nLack of Time (due to too much confusing information online)\nDistractions pulling you away from your main business\n\nLet’s start with the first challenge: Lack of Knowledge. \nThere’s a lot of confusing and conflicting information out there\, but we’ll cut through the noise. We’ll start by walking you through the legal structures available\, the key requirements\, and the things you need to bear in mind when setting up your CIC. \nYou’ll receive clear instructions on how to prepare your Articles of Association\, complete the CIC36 form\, and gather the necessary director data for registration with HMRC. From there\, we’ll ensure you understand the banking requirements once your CIC number is issued. \nNext\, we’ll guide you through internal business planning and compliance so your CIC is built to last. \nThe Result? \nYou’ll be 100% confident that your CIC is legally compliant and fundable\, with all the necessary documentation prepared. \nThe second challenge we’ll address is the Lack of Time. \nSetting up a CIC can be time-consuming if you try to figure it all out yourself. That’s why our program provides step-by-step guidance that saves you hours of wasted time. We’ll take you through each stage\, from financial forecasting and compliance to creating a funding strategy that supports your projects over the next three years. \nFinally\, we’ll tackle the Distraction issue head-on. \nYour time is valuable\, and we understand you can’t afford to take your attention away from your main business for too long. Our program is designed to fit into your busy schedule. You’ll attend one live\, two-hour Zoom call each week for ten weeks\, and we’ll keep you accountable with action points to ensure you make steady progress. \nThe best part? You’ll also gain the skills to apply for your first grant—up to £20\,000—so you can hit the ground running once your CIC is set up. \nWhat’s the outcome? \nBy the end of the program\, you’ll have: \n\nA fully fundable\, legally compliant CIC registered with Companies House\nAn internal business plan for the next 1-3 years\nFinancial forecasting and a funding strategy in place for short\, medium\, and long-term growth\nThe skills to confidently apply for your first grant funding\n\nAnd that’s not all! You’ll also be part of a community of like-minded business owners\, sharing best practice\, forming collaborations and learning together. \nYou can get started today for a one-time investment of £1500\, no VAT. \nWhat’s the commitment? \n\nAttend the live\, two-hour weekly Zoom calls for ten weeks\nComplete the necessary actions after each call\nHave a legally registered\, fully fundable CIC\, with an internal business plan\, financial forecast and funding strategy in place by the end of the program\n\nWe can’t guarantee your first funding application will be successful\, but we will ensure its full eligibility for submission. \nReady to build your CIC and start making an impact?

DESCRIPTION:Here’s everything you need to know about our GET FUNDED™ program. \nThe focus is simple: to help you secure funding for your non-profit organisation while saving you time\, reducing confusion\, and giving you clear\, actionable strategies. \nOur aim is to give you the skills\, resources\, and confidence to diversify your funding streams and secure grants\, trust funding\, corporate sponsorships\, and more – so your organisation thrives. \nNo jargon. No fluff. No overwhelming you with pointless information! \nThe only tools you’ll need are your laptop and the willingness to take action. \nWhat We Solve \nWe tackle the three biggest challenges faced by non-profit organisations trying to secure funding: \n\nLack of Knowledge Understanding funding streams\, applications\, and what funders really want.\nLack of Time Navigating endless and confusing information online to find what actually works.\nNo One-Stop Solution A streamlined\, step-by-step approach to learn about all funding opportunities and strategies in one place.\n\nHow We Do It \nFirst\, we’ll address the Lack of Knowledge. \nWe start by breaking down the funding landscape\, including a comparison of non-profit and for-profit sectors. You’ll learn the terminology\, the mission differences\, and what funders are really looking for in applications. \nNext\, we’ll dive into grant and trust funding. We’ll show you exactly: \n\nWhat types of funding are available.\nWhat funders want (and don’t want) to see in an application.\nThe typical questions you’ll need to answer and how to nail them.\n\nWe’ll even give you tips on managing budgets and project costs so your applications are airtight and funders can’t say no. \nThe Result? \nYou’ll gain complete clarity and confidence about navigating the funding world. No more feeling lost\, overwhelmed\, or unsure of where to start. \nThe second challenge we’ll tackle is Lack of Time. \nWe know you’re busy running your organisation\, so we’ve created a step-by-step process to save you hours of time and research. \nHere’s what you’ll learn: \n\nHow to identify the best funding opportunities for your organisation using newsletters\, websites\, and portals.\nThe secrets to efficient application management\, so you’re not reinventing the wheel every time.\nHow to build a 12-month fundraising calendar\, ensuring consistent income for your organisation.\n\nThe result? You’ll have a streamlined system for finding and applying for funding opportunities\, freeing up more time to focus on making an impact. \nFinally\, we’ll help you overcome the limitations of grant funding. \nGrant funding is amazing\, but relying solely on it can be risky. That’s why we’ll teach you how to diversify your funding streams with strategies like: \n\nCorporate sponsorships and community fundraising.\nCrowdfunding and legacy giving.\nApproaching high-net-worth individuals for philanthropic donations.\nTendering for third-sector contracts.\n\nThe Result? \nYou’ll have a robust funding strategy that brings in reliable income from multiple sources. No eggs-in-one-basket approach here! \nWhat You’ll Get \n\nSkills and Resources: Learn how to create winning applications\, manage budgets\, and meet funder expectations.\nConfidence and Clarity: Know exactly where to find funding and how to secure it – without the stress.\nDiversified Funding Streams: Build a financial strategy that supports your organisation’s long-term growth.\n\nHow We’ll Work Together \nThis is a 10-week online program\, including live weekly Zoom calls where you’ll learn\, ask questions\, and apply what you’ve learned alongside a supportive group of like-minded individuals. \nEach session is designed to give you the tools and confidence to implement immediately. Expect accountability\, collaboration\, and actionable steps every week. \nInvestment: £1500 (no VAT).
