Programme content
An incredibly intensive three days, but extremely well spent. I'm so pleased I put the time aside for it. I arrived questioning much of what I do but I'm leaving with direction and focus.
The next programme will be held over a four-month period from October 2025 to January 2026. It includes:
- a 2-day residential (1-2 October 2025) and a 1-day follow up session (13 November 2025) – including workshops, external speakers and peer networking opportunities. These will be hosted hosted at the University of Nottingham.
- Scale Up forums – bringing together attendees for virtual sessions covering topics such as accountability, masterminding and learning how to accelerate success
- one-to-one coaching – the programme includes one-to-one coaching sessions, from a certified Scale Up coach
