Daring to Ask for What You Need

A small-group workshop helping early-stage entrepreneurs ask clearly and confidently for what they need in key business conversations.

South of Scotland Enterprise hosts a two-hour, in-person workshop for people developing a new business idea or in the early stages of running a business. Participants learn how to prepare for, express and follow through on important conversations with customers, suppliers and collaborators, using respectful, direct requests rather than hinting or hoping. The session includes practical techniques and the chance to rehearse real business scenarios in a supportive group of 12–16 participants. It is delivered by Sarah Hanson, a Place-based Pathways Coach and Managing Partner of Interactifs UK.
