Evolve

Today we held a Development Workshop with our Peer Group members, focusing on the topic of Multigenerational Leadership. For the first time in history, there could be five generations in the workforce – that’s a lot of different styles of working, management and communication, or is it? Our workshop session, delivered by Rebecca Phillips, got everyone thinking about the differences in the workplace between Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z – and how, as today’s leaders, we need to learn from each generation, as well as guide and lead effectively. Are you thinking about how you can improve managing a diverse workforce in your business, or across your teams? Let’s have a chat over a coffee to find out how we can help support you with a tailored programme for you.  Book a meeting with us 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZh4TQYt #MultigenerationalLeadership #DiverseTeams #LeadershipDevelopment #PeerGroup Warren Munson David Mutton Amelia Atkins Rachel Hadfield

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for our Understanding Growth Finance workshop. We hope you found the session helpful! Special thanks to our expert panellists, Robert Ward from The FSE Group and Darren Mooney from Studio Global, who shared their experience, advice and tips for securing the right finance at the right time. As part of the workshop, delivered by Warren Munson and funded by Dorset LEP, we looked at debt vs equity options for growing businesses, alongside opportunities for grant funding. 💡 Our key takeaway: Match the right finance option to the right business need – at the right time.  Whichever route you choose, strong financial forecasting is essential when approaching lenders or investors. If you’d like to know more about growth funding options for your business, get in touch!  Thank you again to everyone who attended and our panellists for making it such a success! 🙌 #UnderstandingGrowthFinance #BusinessFinance #DebtVsEquity #BusinessGrowth #FinancialForecasting David Mutton Amelia Atkins Rebecca Phillips Shelley Collins-Trevett
