SUMMARY:'Get Going\, Keep Going' Business Guides - Investment Options & Exit Planning taster session
DESCRIPTION:Come to this Q&A to learn more about what’s on offer from the ‘Get Going\, Keep Going’ business skills guides with Helen Cooper. This session will also be a 15-minute taster into the ‘Investment Options & Exit Planning’ Guide.  \nAt this session you will also find out how to access the Future Space discount that is running to the end of February 2021. \nDuring her mentoring and support work with a number of her entrepreneurial clients\, Helen Cooper noticed that there were a group of core skills that they consistently felt they were weak in\, and so she decided to find out if this was something common across owners in new and early stage ventures. \nAn online research survey received 30 responses from entrepreneurs who have been in business for up to 5 years. This confirmed the list of skills that they needed help with\, and so Helen decided to design a series of easy to follow\, jargon-free Guides. \nUsing her own experience and expertise gathered over 35 years in business\, Helen has written nine practical\, step by step Guides each dealing with a specific skill or area: \n\nMarketing for non-marketers part 1\nMarketing for non-marketers part 2\nStakeholder Management\nNegotiation Skills\nCross-cultural Negotiations\nEntrepreneur Essentials\nInvestment options and Exit planning\nDeveloping a brand\nBetter Decision-making\n\nEach Guide offers: \n\nA downloadable PDF to keep\nA video tutorial\n‘Drop-In weekly webinars with Helen Cooper to answer your questions\n\n

SUMMARY:Future Space Virtual Christmas Quiz - Prizes to be won!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our (virtual) Christmas Quiz! \nWe refuse to let our spirits be dampened and our ambitions for a merry quizmas quashed\, so this year’s quiz will be hosted online via Microsoft Teams. \nOnce you have booked your space you will be sent an invite to the meeting. You do not need to have Teams installed (although some functions will be limited. Click here for instructions on how to join). \nThe great thing about a virtual quiz is that you can join in wherever you are. Decide how to organise your team: if you’re tuning in from home perhaps you could enlist the help of some smart cohabitants; confer with co-workers over the Teams private chat (if you have Teams installed) or another virtual messaging system; if you’re still working from Future Space form a socially distanced team in the network area (and hope no one is listening in); or the bravest of you could go fully rogue and tackle our quiz alone! \nThere will be prizes up for grabs and festive cheer in abundance. \nWe’ve been missing you all at Future Space and can’t wait to see you\, even if it can’t be in person just yet. \nBook your space today! \nBest wishes\, \nThe Future Space Team

SUMMARY:Workshop - Retaining Your Talent
DESCRIPTION:ISL UK are running a workshop for Future Space residents\, which includes insights from 250 surveyed candidates\, and a complimentary diagnostic of your company recruitment process. Find out more about the workshop below and register with me to attend. \nRetaining your talent – an ISL workshop for Future Space members\nFriday 23 October 12-1pm\nWhat’s the workshop about?\nEvery start-up and scaleup\, particularly those in tech\, know that they will have to master the ability to recruit great people if they are going to be successful. What’s often an overlooked part of a company’s talent plan is how to retain your top talent and maximise their potential. ISL Recruitment is a Bristol based recruitment company established in 2007\, working with tech start-ups and scaleups across the UK. Alan Furley\, director and owner\, has spent 18 years helping companies find great people\, while more recently advising seed and venture businesses on their talent plans. \nISL surveyed 250 candidates who had recently left a job in tech to move to another\, asking them what prompted them to leave and how that contrasted with their decision on taking a new role. We’ve analysed this unique data and combined with our daily recruitment experience to explain what is key for companies who want to retain their best talent. \nHow will it help me?\nOur workshop will help you understand why people leave\, what makes people join a new role\, and what you can do about it. You will learn what you need to start doing\, what needs to stop\, and what’s key to continue with\, to retain your best talent. We’ll also explain what is important as you scale – what works well for a business of five people may not be right as you pass 25 employees. It will inspire you to take immediate action while helping to form a plan for longer term\, helping you develop and keep good people\, allowing your business to grow. \nAnd afterwards?\nThrough the insight we share and the discussion in the workshop you’ll walk away with some clear actions to help you retain your best talent and maximise their potential. If you want to dive into more detail on finding the best people\, then we would offer you a complimentary diagnostic of your recruitment process.\nThis would assess and benchmark your ability to attract\, assess\, and onboard the diverse talent you need to build sustainable success in your business. Typically this would be a 90 minute session\, remote or in person\, with a follow up report containing key recommendations and additional resources. \nRegister to attend\nEmail askinner@oxin.co.uk to be added to the calendar invitation
