MORE LOVE FROM OUR PARTICIPANTS

Helen Smith Made of Moxie

For me, it was really useful to have the structure, time and space to question what I was doing and how I was doing it.

Max Wallace Health Defence

Suzanne Noble and Mark Elliott provided me with the help and advice I needed to start my life again and my own company.

Rachel Carrel of Koru Kids

Suzanne has been very generous with advice on PR for our startup, and the advice she has given has been really powerful - practical as well as strategic. Her 'content to time' ratio is incredibly high!

How are we different from others? 


We are like you.  
We acknowledge and understand that what you're seeking at this age from life and from your business is different than when you were younger. That's why our programmes are developed to fit your existing responsibilities. Featuring relatable video content (all captioned and transcribed), group sessions and 1:2:1 support, we help you each step of the way. 

We teach from personal experience. 
We know that when it comes to courses about starting a business, you've got lots of choices. What makes us different is that, unlike many other programmes taught by academics with no practical experience of running a business, we've both started successful (and not-so-successful businesses).
