Open Tech Calendar

Are you a female founder based in South Yorkshire who has a digital or tech business?

On the 4th of April, 9:30am-1pm, TeamSY and Sheffield Tech Parks are proud to present an event designed specifically for local female founders 'Pathway to Business Success - A creative goal setting workshop to enhance your potential business success'.

What is the workshop about?

During this half day workshop, you will be mentored by expert business coaches and mentors and learn key strategies for setting your business vision and foundations for scale.

Over the course of the day you will learn:

- How to find your strategic vision for your business, and what it will take to get you there
- How to identify and break through those blockers that stop you from acheiving your business goals
- How to set intentions in your business, and stick to it for the long haul
- To create an action plan that you can take away from the session and implement into your business, immediately
- Different processes that you can follow in your business
- How to deal with failure, and how to overcome the challenges that come along the way

Who is this program for?
We respect the individual’s choice to self identify; this programme is for all those identifying as women or non-binary.

- Businesses with a technical element, but you don’t have to be a ‘techie’ to benefit from this programme.
- Entrepreneurs who would like to understand the benefit of community and network
- Priority will be given to businesses with a registered and/or trading address in the South Yorkshire region.
