Participants will have the opportunity to learn with and hear from other like-minded social leaders, talk openly and honestly about their experiences, and share real-life examples of best practice that leaders can take back to their own organisations.     Participants will address the fundamental requirements of leading an effective, innovative and successful social enterprise, based on four themes: 1 Leading your social enterprise – motivating and leading a successful organisation. 2 Managing your social enterprise – readiness to manage a productive and profitable venture. 3 Marketing your social enterprise – communicating with and influencing others. 4 Sustaining your social enterprise – creating a long term balance of people, income and planet.   The Social Enterprise Leadership Development course will help participants to;  -       Become an inspirational leader and role model by learning to use the skills, strategies and secrets from successful enterprise leaders and dynamic real time case studies. -       Become a skilled and confident leader who can build winning teams to achieve outstanding success -       Work brilliantly with others by building the capability to influence key stakeholders, forge relationships and maintain productive partnerships. -       Develop commercial acumen, improve strategic thinking skills and shape a value-driven social enterprise culture. -       Develop a marketing mindset and maximise your organisation’s potential in today’s challenging environment.   Participants on the Social Enterprise Emerging Leaders course, held earlier this year, had this to say about the programme: “It has given me the confidence to lead an organisation based on my vision and values”  “The opportunity to consider and relate theory in to practice and discuss operational challenges was hugely beneficial”  “As a result of attending I have an increased knowledge of enterprise models and can now support the development of further opportunities for us”  “Group discussions were especially valuable in gaining an insight of a the wide variety of work being undertaken by social enterprise, and developing understanding of theory into practice”  “I will use and refer back to the materials provided and the network will be invaluable”
