Are you facing challenges in growing your business? Would you benefit from peer support and the insights and experiences of successful women entrepreneurs? Then read on. The Going for Growth initiative could be just right for you.
Invitations are now being issued to women entrepreneurs who would like to be considered for participation in the Going for Growth initiative. If you are such a woman entrepreneur or if you know of a woman entrepreneur who you believe could benefit from participation in this
initiative, please contact Paula Fitzsimons, the National Director of Going for Growth - paula@goingforgrowth.com
Following the success of earlier cycles, a 4th series of Going for Growth roundtables have been put in place. These are designed to support women entrepreneurs, who are seriously committed to growing their businesses.
Participants are being offered a unique learning environment with a peer led approach based on the shared experiences of both the Lead Entrepreneur and the other participants facing common challenges.
The Going for Growth roundtables will be centred on experienced or Lead Entrepreneurs, who will each give about three hours of their time on a voluntary basis once a month to meet with a small group of women owner managers to support their development. To maximise the benefit to all involved, there will be no more than eight participants at each roundtable.
The initiative has been endorsed by some successful business women who have agreed to become involved in the initiative as Lead Entrepreneurs –Colette Twomey, Deirdre Smith, Eileen Bergin, Elaine Coughlan, Fiona O’Carroll, Geraldine Kelly, Heather Ann McSharry, Julie Colclough, Lulu O’Sullivan, Mary McKenna, and Monica Flood. These busy and successful business women have agreed to give their time on a voluntary basis to support women entrepreneurs to achieve their growth ambitions.
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. Each is prepared to share her learning with women entrepreneurs committed to growth, but whose businesses are less developed at this stage.
To be considered for inclusion as participants in the roundtables, entrepreneurs should indicate their interest in the first instance by registering on the website www.goingforgrowth.com and requesting an application form. Any queries may be addressed to the National Director, Paula Fitzsimons.
