Breakthrough for Entrepreneurs - One Day Workshop, London

This one-day intensive Breakthrough Process workshop is for a maximum of six entrepreneurs who are looking for rapid clarity and fresh thinking on a current business challenge.

Facilitated by The Breakthrough Process' multidisciplinary team of experts in psychology, coaching, strategy and creative techniques, the workshop has been designed for entrepreneurs running businesses of all sizes and across all industries:

Examples of challenges that participants bring:
