It often brings creativity, originality, focus, and new ways of thinking. But those same traits can also make some parts of running a business feel harder, more tiring, or overwhelming.This one-day, in-person workshop is about understanding yourself better, recognising what helps you thrive, and gently exploring what might be getting in the way.We are delighted to welcome Nicola Jayne Little, an experienced entrepreneur who has supported thousands of self-employed people over the past 17 years. Nicola discovered her own neurodivergence later in life, and that understanding transformed how she works and runs her business.This workshop is not about labels or fixing yourself. It is about learning how to work with your brain, not against it.What This Day Is AboutThis final workshop in the programme turns the focus back to you.It offers a supportive space to reflect on:what feels natural and energising in your businesswhere you feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmedhow your strengths can sometimes become challengeswhat small changes could help you work more comfortablyYou do not need a diagnosis.
