Your course really got me thinking about managing employees and how to interact with the team as a whole, and as individuals, to get the best out of them. It was well tailored and accessible for small businesses like mine.

Course Summary
From Business Owner to Employer: A New Kind of Challenge
Becoming an employer is one of the biggest transitions you’ll make as a small business owner. It brings a whole new set of challenges, especially when it comes to managing people effectively. Suddenly, you’re not just running your business… you’re leading people.
Leadership Requires a New Skill Set
As your role evolves, you’re expected to juggle a complex mix of responsibilities:
- Handling inappropriate behaviour and poor performance
- Managing change with clarity and confidence
- Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
- Communicating expectations clearly
- Delegating effectively
- Balancing care for your people with care for your business
These skills don’t always come naturally, but they can be learned.
This Programme is Your Roadmap

Lead People, Not Just a Business
Imagine having a team that is:
- Proactive and capable
