You must be based in the West Oxfordshire district or Cherwell District to attend this programme.
As part of the Cherwell and West Oxfordshire ACCELERATOR Programme, businesses can access additional support by joining a Peer Network Group and Leadership Development Training. This taster webinar is an opportunity to ask questions and find out if either programme is a good fit for you or your team!
Exploring Peer Networks
This Programme could be the key to building extra resilience, creating new opportunities, accessing new funding and achieving your goals.
The Peer Networks programme allows businesses to:
• Overcome business challenges and recognise and act on new opportunities
• Build a trusted network of connections to support you now and in the future
• Improve your long-term personal and business performance
Delivered through a series of high-impact group sessions, businesses meet on zoom for 3 weeks to explore problems, collaborate and share knowledge. The topics covered are chosen by participants - each week one participant shares the issue or challenge of their choice, followed by a facilitated discussion and sharing from Peers.
Leadership development
Investing a little in great leadership skills could bring the next biggest boost for your business. The hidden costs of not investing in developing leadership skills can be huge… costs on your time and energy, of mistakes made and deadlines missed, of high staff turnover, and on your reputation. The flip side is that significant savings and positive results can come from advancing your leadership skills.
This short, small group program will meet on zoom for 5 weeks and will quickly help you address current challenges and prepare for growth. It simplifies leadership by sharing effective techniques for immediate use in your business on live challenges/situations.
