Supporting small businesses with Leadership 9.0

Helping local businesses be people-ready in the post-pandemic economy

From as little as £1 per person per month

The pandemic has had a massive impact on local economies and small businesses have been deeply affected by the impact of closures, lockdowns and restrictions. Some have been even more profoundly affected, being unable to access support from the various initiatives.

They have gone through a lot and so have their staff. Now as we go through the latter stages of the pandemic and the recovery phase, it is time to give them the helping hand to be resilient to the demands of reopening or restarting or reskilling.

That is where we would like to partner with you, we would like to work with you to help:

  • Support mental health in businesses
  • Build resilience
  • Build people skills
  • Reduce anxiety
  • Reduce presenteeism
  • Increase productivity
  • Increased internal problem-solving capacity
  • Support staff back to work
  • Increase confidence
  • Support the recovery of the local economy

We have studied the impact of the pandemic on organisations and staff and identified nine elements of leadership and management that have changed, we call this Leadership 9.0. Never has it been so important for small businesses to know how to be resilient to the mental health impact of the pandemic and for their owners to get back to what they are good at – being the leaders of their own business.

However, to achieve this, we need to think differently about training:

  • In-person training – not possible
  • Live online training – need to block-book time out, coordination of diaries causes delay, home educating, events happening (our experience is 85% attendance during the pandemic)
  • Our own wellbeing affects the capacity to take on learning
  • Increased stress means it is harder to do long courses
  • It is very easy to just be sat listening to a trainer or speaker without engaging
  • It is harder to focus for extended period of time.

We have therefore put together an online portal of micro-courses suitable for post-pandemic reskilling, each containing 3-4 videos no longer than 15 minutes long each to help post-pandemic readiness in a easy to access format available 24 hours a day (attendance during the pandemic has been 96%).

  • Personal resilience
  • Managing stress
  • Supporting the wellbeing of others (home and workplace variants)
