Stroud Brewery & Taproom

How to get a plan that works, even if you hate planning &amp; strategy work!<ul><li>Got great ideas, but can’t seem to make progress?</li><li>Got a new business project coming up?</li><li>Got ideas &amp; inspiration but feeling daunted &amp; disorganised?</li><li>Don't like spreadsheets and linear thinking?</li></ul>Let's get you a practical and sustainable plan to use. These (no spreadsheet) methods have helped secure £millions in project funding - now I am sharing them with the small business community.This half day, in person workshop for solopreneurs and small business owners is designed to give you time and space to develop a sustainable plan, one that is just right for you.If you’ve got an idea, dream or vision, but have been floundering around, not making as much progress as you would like, this workshop is for you!We’ll be tapping into your future joy to create a compelling and practical plan that you can use to make your dreams come true; aka ‘manifestation’.I love working with people who can weave their dreams into reality.We have no time to waste! The people you set up your business to help need you to be taking confident, decisive action. They also need you to be working sustainably, taking care if yourself, well, as you do your work.Come! There will be coloured pens, large sheets of paper and other purpose inspired small business people who love making a difference.By the end of the workshop, I want you to:<ul><li>have clarity about exactly what you want to create &amp; achieve;</li><li>understand what actions you need to take in order to make your dreams come true.</li></ul>I'll be supporting you to get really clear about the future and to consider fresh perspectives &amp; ideas. There will be a bit of light meditation and time for pause &amp; reflection. We will be using the four elements to playfully explore and amplify your ideas.This will be a small group and I'll be on hand to answer individual questions.You won't be talking much, and you will have plenty of opportunity to write and draw up some plans during the workshop.By the end of it, you will have an understanding of which actions to take, and when. One of those actions might be to utilise spreadsheets and task management tools to support you to implement your plan, but we won't be using them during the workshop. This is a nourishing and creative space for you to polish that gem of an idea you've got.In addition to writing in your notebook, there will be flipchart paper, coloured pens &amp; post-it notes for drawing, scribbling and thinking on. To help you implement your plan, we will be meeting for coffee and an hour's follow up discussion a week later at Stroud Brewery 10-11am. What previous participants said:“It was good to work on the business for a morning with no phones and focus on what I want to achieve. I left with more clarity and direction. Alison was there if you needed her but not overpowering, so lots of time for reflection” Joanne Macaskie“A beautiful space to explore a new idea. Expert guidance from Alison who took us on a journey to explore what is important to us, and to produce a plan. I learnt things about myself and my situation that I wouldn't have done otherwise. I left buzzing and knowing that this idea feels the right thing for me.” Vivien Rolfe“A well curated workshop with lots of time to dig deep. With Alison's gentle and wise encouragement I was able to explore my problem in a new way and see solutions which had been evading me.”"I'm neurospicy and find traditional business planning stressful and emotionally challenging because I can't work in all the expected linear ways. Alison's approach is a breath of fresh air.""I've been too busy to untangle the jumble of ideas in my head. In just half a day I have a plan I like. It's made me realise I have two businesses in one and now I'm already making changes to how I am running my workspace and studio." What to bring to help you enJOY the process:<ul><li>your favourite pen and notebook</li><li>wear a favourite or significant item</li><li>optional - your own favourite coloured pens &amp; pencils</li></ul>We won't be using:<ul><li>phones &amp; laptops (unless you need to look something up)</li><li>old or stale ideas</li><li>the pressure of expectations (yours/other people's)</li></ul>Dress so that you feel good: whatever is right for you.
