"I learned practical knowledge about business regarding marketing/sales and activities that applied consistently will move the needle forward in my business."
Rachel, De-clutterer
Growth Activation is a powerful in-person day and networking event designed to get you out of overthinking and into aligned action, making connections and creating growth, together.
This isn’t another workshop where you leave with notes you never implement.
This is where your business actually moves forward because we learn, make connections and do the work in the room on the day.
With a brand new workshop that's both educational and practical with a huge focus on business growth and strategy, a nutritious lunch and relaxed networking, it's time for you to get in the room and truly grow your business.
This isn't timed pitches and awkward sales conversations over cold coffee and in a stuffy room.
This event is about personal and professional development that ensures sustainable growth. The energy is high as soon as you enter the room, just the business retreat you've been searching for!
As a business consultant, I have previously established and grown multiple businesses in the product, services and events industries and become a two-time Amazon Best-Selling Author, whilst rasing neurodivergent children and juggling care for my disabled husband. I am on a mission to show passionate people how to start up, grow and scale a business to make money, even when life is unpredictable!
There are four elements you need to pull it off;
This is my bag! I love talking business, in fact, I am OBSESSED with business planning and strategy for growth. I am dedicated to teaching passionate people who have a great service to give how to do business properly, do what you love, make money from it and make an impact and support you on the journey of growth.
Growth Activation is a live quarterly day workshop with a talk, networking, co-Working and real-time business support.
We are live in Leeds, with plans to possibly expand.
The event begins with an inspirational talk on a mindset, energetic, strategy or sales topic for focused business growth by Dani Louise Smith, designed to educate you and fire up the momentum to take the actions you have been procrastinating on.
After the talk, we make new connections with a networking session in a relaxed format designed to focus on building relationships, not just gathering contact details.
There is then a catered lunch and opportunity to refresh and break to process your morning and then we return into a co-working format to take action on any ideas and support you with anything you need in order to 'Build, Optimise, Sell and Scale' your business for growth.
Come back event after event to stay on track, access this empowering energy, meet new people and knock your business out the park. (Northern slang for success!)
