What People Are Saying
“I had a really positive experience working with the Let's Do Business Group / CHART. Emily was so helpful, enthusiastic and encouraging, and really listens and offers the kind of help that is appropriate for your own needs. Lisa ran an informative and inspiring course on starting up your own business. And Rupert offered a valuable opportunity to access some professional marketing via social media training. I would highly recommend them. Really kind and lovely people.”
- Helen Drake, Ready for Business and Social Media workshop attendee
“I am on the CHART Business Coaching Programme working with Emily and Beth. The sessions are so productive and output-focused. Emily is upbeat and doesn't listen to excuses and helps you get things done while Beth has extensive technical knowhow. After just two sessions I have my business newsletter up and running - it is something I have been procrastinating about for years.”
— Alison Purves, Unwrap Your Potential
“The workshop was brilliant. I have been a Facebook user for years and I had no idea of what I can do with it! This will be incredibly useful for my business and the age groups I am targeting. I use all the other social media discussed and learnt something about how I can improve what I do. Mina has a wealth of knowledge that she shared clearly. My head was buzzing with ideas and next steps by the end of the session. The only negative was that it was over too soon! Thank you.”
-- Social Media Marketing Workshop Participant
“I can’t thank you enough for all of the help and excellent advice on the Ready For Business course. It really has helped me understand what my vision is and where I’m going with my business. I’ve made a few small changes to my social media page following your advice and I now have so many people contacting me that I can’t take them on.”
— Roxanne, Bloom Tutoring
“I considered that I had a medium level of understanding of the platforms’ tools and a good working knowledge; I took away many helpful hints and tips which I am now using. Glad to have attended.”
