What you will learn...

Knowing you want and need to improve performance, and understanding the mechanics of how to do that are two very different things!

Are you confident in how to motivate and improve your team’s performance?

Does the data and KPIs you gather help you make really well-informed decisions?

We’ll show you several strategies, tactics, and techniques to better understand the factors affecting the performance of your business, team and yourself; and show you how you can move the dial on performance.

Understanding your leadership effectivness to improve your teams and business performance

Tim Rylatt, UK Growth Coach

There are multiple factors that go into making someone a good leader, business owner and team manager. It’s not all about technical skills and know-how. In Tim’s presentation he’ll explore how you can better understand yourself to be the leader your business and team needs you to be! He will look at:

  • DiSC profiling
  • Understanding motivators
  • Management techniques and engagement tactics

Tim Rylatt is a highly experienced business coach who has worked with more than 200 companies during the past 15 years. He is also the author of 3 books that address the topics of sales skills, strategic marketing, and business growth.

Unlike many coaches, Tim is also a business owner himself, as a director in two marketing agencies, as well as his own coaching firm (which is now also a franchise).

Creating a marketing plan to target growth and play to team strengths

Henry Laker, Growth By Design

Is it marketing noise or marketing magic? The lack of a strategic plan for marketing runs the risk of wasted effort and minimal returns. Learn why it’s important to create a marketing plan to target growth and how your team can play a part in the success. In his exciting presentation, Henry Laker will explain:

  • Why one size fits all marketing doesn’t work
  • Marketing that lines up with what the business needs to progress
  • How can your team have input that helps your marketing success?

Henry Laker has been involved in business marketing for more than 25 years. He has worked within the print, graphic design, website design, and broader digital sectors. During this time he has worked with hundreds of companies to help refine their brand presentation, lead generation, customer lifetime values and reputations. He has also co-authored two books on the subjects of marketing and business growth with Tim Rylatt.

Doing more with less effort - Business Automation

Everyone loves doing repetitive process-driven tasks, don’t they? Probably not! That is where business automation comes in. It frees up people’s time to spend their energy and skills on tasks that bring greater value to the business. This talk will introduce you to different types of business automation and how IT can facilitate that, as well as the business benefits.

Tony has a wealth of IT experience, starting out at British Caledonian, before working for BT and then supporting projects such as the Dartford River Crossing  and Faslane submarine shiplift. He spent 12 years in a senior role supporting retail operations of some 400 Texaco petrol stations.

With a young family, and not wanting to travel into London, he started Ashdown Solutions to look to bring his years of automation and project management skills to serve SME’s based in the Gatwick Diamond.
