Over the past 40 years we have seen some turbulent times – The Thatcher recession of the early ‘80’s, when inflation was running at 18% and unemployment eventually reaching 12%. Then the ‘90’s and Black Wednesday as the pound crashed out of ERM, unemployment was almost 11%, interest rates nearly 15% , followed by the Financial Crisis of 2008 and the Credit Crunch, then in more recent times Brexit and the Covid pandemic.

And what has it taught me about business in tough times? – a volatile market creates opportunity, and I believe often MORE opportunity than in calmer times. To succeed, it is also a question of MINDSET, PLANNING, ACTION and MEASURE/ADJUST or, to make it simpler ‘SPAM’:

See – Plan – Action – Measure

During this session, we’ll be discussing how to apply this to your business to improve your chances for success, now and in the future. The session will be interactive, and there will be opportunities to ask any questions either during the session or offline.

Jim Gorrie of UK Business Mentoring UK Ltd

In most cases business owners are not sure what help they need, but they can describe the symptoms that are causing them to worry and stress, (such as the business not operating effectively, profitability not being where they feel it should be, leadership and staff issues, or poor work/life balance).

A Mentor’s job is to understand what you are looking to achieve, what is causing the stress, identify the root cause and help you to address the problem for the benefit of yourself, the people around you, and your customers.

Jim has thirty years’ experience of leading teams and developing people to be successful in their chosen area. He is qualified in Leadership Coaching and Executive Mentoring and has a broad range of experience in Sales, Marketing, Customer Experience, Operational Effectiveness, Continuous Improvement, Culture and Strategy and Accountancy.

He has also supported numerous businesses across Kent and the South East with their challenges and growth aspirations.
