International Women’s Day 2023: Amplifying Female Voices
Business Scale Up has the pleasure of working with talented women across the region, from advisors, consultants and training providers to small business owners themselves.
We’re taking International Women’s Day as an opportunity to amplify their voices and expertise.
On developing your team and your business:
“Creating a culture of coaching and mentoring in an organisation is the most cost-effective way of improving the performance of the organisation overall. Together, coaching and mentoring enable you to draw the best from your people and your teams, maximising their potential and the business’ potential.”
Anna Hastie, Head of Corporate Training at the University of York
On investing in employee engagement:
“People are key to any successful business and investing in them will help ensure that businesses become more profitable, productive and efficient. Focusing on employee engagement always sees a rise in customer satisfaction, advocacy and innovation. This is where the opportunities lie.”
Michelle Mook, Managing Director of Pro-Development
On creating a culture of inclusivity:
“Greater inclusivity can create a sense of belonging in the workplace, promote a better understanding of customers/clients, enhance employee engagement, help attract key talent and improve general business performance. So, building an inclusive culture is more than a ‘nice-to-have’ – it has real strategic value.”
Jane Fisher, Founder & Director of Jane Fisher Associates
On the essentials of a successful business:
“Lack of leadership and personal development can and will stop you and your business without warning or compassion. Investing in a leadership and development programme was the turning point for our business. That one investment gave me the time and space I needed to explore our business direction and uncover the power of not only an engaged team but an inspired one.”
Hannah Tuckey, Business Engagement Advisor at Business Scale Up
On finding your confidence:
“We often shy away from sharing our insecurities, innocently thinking that others will perceive us as weak or somehow defective. However, I have found that there is a power in sharing, in that we begin to see for ourselves how normal it all is.”
Andrea Morrison, Transformational Coach at Andrea Morrison Coaching
Ready to get your voice heard?
Andrea Morrison’s one-day workshop, ‘Create Your Core Confidence & Resilience’ explores the universal principles at the source of innate confidence and resilience. Aimed only at women and other marginalised groups, the workshop “will leave participants liberated from insecure thinking or stress, feeling more empowered, confident and more able to navigate the uncertainties of their professional or business life.”
