Workshops on enterprise to help you clarify your idea

Working with individuals and communities to develop enterprise thinking in Leeds.
Most people are aware of enterprise, they see it everyday; however they fail to make the connection between enterprise and themselves. Winning Moves with Leeds Chamber will help people make that connection and raise their enterprise awareness through the creation and promotion of ‘Champions’ or role models from local communities who they can connect and identify with. Champions will be embedded in everything we do.
Once you have generated an aspiration Winning Moves will work with you through a series of workshops aimed at developing confidence and belief, and help manage your transition to other support available.
Look out for their workshops in our event section.
