Hey there ,

Reading time: roughly 1 minute and 45 seconds to 2 minutes

Fresh off another inspiring workshop with the Business & IP Centre in Bristol and another workshop for the Virgin StartUp crew tomorrow, I'm buzzing with energy!

There's something genuinely magical about connecting with passionate founders and helping them navigate the hiring maze.

Every workshop is unique, but there are a few recurring "aha!" moments that I absolutely love witnessing:

The lightbulb moment: When a founder realises they don't have to do it all themselves.

• It's like a weight lifted off their shoulders.
• We explore how to strategically identify the skills they really need and prioritize roles based on impact. Suddenly, they see a path to reclaiming their time and focusing on what they do best.

The "I never thought of that!" moment: This usually happens when we dive into flexible hiring options.

• Many founders are so used to the traditional 9-to-5 model that they haven't considered the possibilities of the gig economy, fractional hiring, or even tapping into their own networks.
• It's like opening a door to a whole new world of talent!

The "I can actually do this!" moment: This is the best one.

• When a founder who walked in feeling overwhelmed and unsure leaves with a clear plan and renewed confidence.
• They've identified their hiring priorities, explored different options, and are ready to take action.

These workshops aren't just about sharing information and my expertise; they're about empowering founders to make smart hiring decisions that fuel their growth.

And that's what gets me excited!

So, if you're feeling a bit lost in the hiring maze, remember:

• You don't have to do it alone. There's a wealth of resources and support available.
• Think outside the box. The traditional hiring model isn't the only option.
• You've got this! With the right strategy and mindset, you can build a team that will take your business to new heights.

And hey, if you're ready to take that next step, hit reply or book a call. Let's chat about your hiring challenges and create a plan that works for you.

Happy hiring,

P.S. If this email sparked a lightbulb moment for you, why not spread the glow? Share it with a fellow founder who could use a hiring boost, and copy me in for a warm intro.

I'll make it worth your while with a virtual high-five (and maybe a real-life treat or saving on our services when we next connect 😉).
