If you're ready to grow your company, business performance coaching can transform it.

Having your strategy, operations, marketing, finances and leadership challenged by someone with your success and growth as a priority is a catalyst for enormous change. But that takes courage and the capacity to innovate. Have you got what it takes to commit to this journey?

A free event at The University of Gloucestershire hosted at The Growth Hub at 8:45am on Friday 13th April 2018 will present you with the information you need to answer that question for your business.

"Good to Great for Growth" looks at the evidence for improved commercial performance that leads both large corporates and local SMEs to heavily invest in business coaching. The event will test what moving from Good to Great could mean for you, asking what barriers to growth may stand in your way and explore how performance coaching can speed up and add value to your growth plans in a surprisingly short time.

Participants will also be introduced to the GAINS coaching programme, which is supported by the European Regional Development Fund. With this, the University of Gloucestershire is building on the very successful national service previously offered by Growth Accelerator. This means SMEs who are serious about their growth plans, can access subsidised high-quality business coaching as well as other business support.

Discover if you and your business are ready to be coached for growth and what you could achieve.

The speakers will include:

• Geraldine McCullagh, GAINS project manager. Alongside her role as project manager for the GAINS project, Geraldine is a business coach, trainer, facilitator and mentor specialising in helping you and your teams with your self presentation and communication skills. She does this by removing the blocks that stop you communicating at your very best. Sometimes these are physical, to do with your breathing, your voice and your body language. Other times it's psychological and she works with mindfulness and visualisation techniques to allow you to experience being fully present with your audience and message instead of letting your self undermine your leadership presence.

• Neil Gilbride, University of Gloucestershire lecturer in Education. Neil is a multidisciplinary academic with a wide range of professional and research experience. He teaches across MA Educational Leadership, Education and Inclusive Education programmes. His research explores how developmental psychology can support leaders and organisations. As Business Development Lead, Neil works across sectors to maximize the School of Education's impact in Gloucestershire and beyond.

• Carie Lyndene, GAINS business coach. What Carie does best is teach businesses how to consistently attract, convert and retain High-Value clients so they can have the time and income freedom they desire through recurring and passive income. She does this without the usual information overload, the latest buzz words, marketing hype or technical overwhelm. She works nationally and internationally and specialises in taking her clients to the next level, whatever that means to them.
