At Flourish Unlimited, I love supporting business owners and leaders - just like you - to use creative design thinking tools and exercises to confidently develop the mindset and ecosystems required to achieve profitability and sustainability in today's rapidly changing marketplaces. So what is design thinking? Well, it's a non-linear and easily repeated process that enables understanding, challenges assumptions, and redefines problems. Think business strategy and coaching, with emphasis on solving the right problems, keeping your customer at the heart of everything you do, and staying ahead of the competition with ease! Sure, design thinking is often associated with innovation, and it certainly can innovate the way you work and the services you provide, but innovation is actually more of a happy side effect, rather than the overall goal. Let's bust a few more myths around design thinking while we're at it! It's not just for designers. It's not just for corporate organisations. It's not just for products. It's not a scary process. It's creative! It's bloody good fun! It shifts your mindset! It gets you solving the RIGHT problems! It builds and focuses teams! It improves communication! It can make a MASSIVE difference to your teams, customers, processes, and profits - but with less 'meh' and more fun than more traditional business coaching / consultancy approaches. As Co-Founder of NeurOkay CIC, I also get to use design thinking to support neurodivergent business owners as they start-up/scale-up their enterprises. I do this alongside a renowned Neurodiversity Coach. So whilst I get to focus on business models, mindset, creativity, and challenging assumptions, Alison supports executive functioning, emotional regulation etc. This way we remove overwhelm, ensure processing times are respected, and enable people to create a path to success that works for them. If you think about it, we're always told to look for USPs in business, well neurodivergent individuals come with their own set of USPs, so you don't get better than that! NeurOkay CIC also provide accredited training and specialist consultancy to organisations who want to better understand, celebrate, and create allyship with their neurodivergent employees, whilst improving communication within teams and across departments. Feel free to jump into my inbox if you'd like to know more about how Flourish Unlimited or NeurOkay CIC can help you or your organisation. I'm always happy to answer Qs or have an initial chat.

Design Thinking Business Coach & Trainer

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve worked in marketing for over 15 years and I love it! No two days are the same and it&amp;rsquo;s this variety that makes marketing so special for me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last company I worked for, Constant Contact, gave me the opportunity to work with 100s of small businesses across the UK. It was the best three years I&amp;rsquo;ve had in a job! The business owners I met were (and still are) incredible. And there&amp;rsquo;s a brilliant community for small businesses. You could say I was bitten by the small business bug.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2016, I was made redundant. I knew I still wanted to work with small businesses, so when my husband said I should start my own business, I didn&amp;rsquo;t need a huge amount of convincing. After all, I loved sharing marketing tips with small business owners, and this way, I could do it all the time. How could I not love that?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, if you struggle with getting your marketing done, I&amp;rsquo;d love to hear from you. You didn&amp;rsquo;t start your business to become a marketing expert. You do what you do because you love it. I want to help you figure out the marketing stuff so that you can make money! It&amp;rsquo;s as simple as that. When you succeed, so do I. Plus, I get a warm glow knowing I helped you. Get in touch and tell me your marketing struggles. I want to help demystify marketing for you so you can get on with the business of running your business!&lt;/p&gt;

The question is, can we deliver this change responsibly - can we achieve our business goals whilst managing the impacts of change well?

This group is for anyone who believes that it matters what you deliver but also how you deliver it.
