Susan Hayes, otherwise known as The Positive Economist, an international public speaker and trainer provides a programme based around sharing of skills on what innovation really is (and isn’t), how she navigated her team through a "Summer of Rejection" and the step-by-step guide to seeking out and obtaining grant finance.
Susan and her team in BECKSearch will facilitate a peer-to-peer learning session at the Cavan Business Women’s Club meeting on April 3rd whereby you will learn how to ask the right questions to find out how to advance your business and distil your own wisdom so that you can communicate clearly to others.
According to Susan HayesCulleton,
"The conditions for good knowledge sharing and cooperation to occur will not always be present. BECKSearch’s activities help extract the wisdom within the CBWC group making in an enjoyable, social way, by coordinating valuable teaching and learning among peers"
This programme will elicit insightful and beneficial conversations on a one-to-one and group basis.
