Personal agency, leadership and business training
Entrepreneurs will participate in a 3 day residential training (based on SEE Change's Empowered Entrepreneur training) that integrates personal agency with basic business and leadership topics. Participants will also get weekly support messages on their phone for 6 weeks and a check in by a training once a month for 3 months.
SEE Change Business and Personal Agency Training
A three day residential training based on SEE Change's Empowered Entrepreneur Training curriculum. This training will be led by a certified SEE Change trained facilitator. The workshop will include individual and group exercises that allow participants to increase their self-awareness, build mental tools for resiliency and adaptability in their life, create life visions and key tools to create behavior change. Additional exercises will include specific business related content including record keeping, financial planning and marketing strategies based on the Business Model Canvas tool.
After the 3 day training, the participants will receive a supportive message through an interactive voice recording, once a week for 6 weeks. In addition, they will be contacted once a month, for three months (either by phone or in person) by the trainer to see how they are doing on their goals.
