Event information / agenda

A Big House Event supported by Creative Quarter & delivered by Debbiedooodah

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

This workshop will help you start to define what's important to you, what you enjoy doing and what you're good at, so you can start planning for your future.

The My Way Project has worked with people from early start-up ideas, through to new recruits in business. The project's mission is to improve the prospects of people in Nottingham and help them build their dream lives their way.

Debbie Clarke will be running the workshop. She is co-author of the toolkit alongside Isobel O'Neill and Alexandra Harwick. Debbie Clarke runs debbiedooodah and is a business & marketing coach supporting entrepreneurs build businesses they love.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Anyone wanting to zero in on their strengths, values and ideas during a transitional point in their lives. Maybe you've been re-thinking your direction during lockdown, while on furlough or maybe you've been made redundant. It could be that you need to pivot your business or where you work or start completely afresh. This will help set you up for that journey.
