About this Event
Ever feel like your business is running you, rather than the other way round?
Most founders/owners I meet are wrestling with some version of the same five frustrations:
- Control - the business feels like a van hurtling down the road with someone else at the wheel
- Profit - you are not making enough for everything you have put in
- People - nobody seems to get it, want it, or care as much as you do
- Hitting the ceiling - growth has stalled and you cannot break through
- Nothing is working - you have read the books, hired the coaches, tried the ideas, and none of it sticks
If any of that sounds familiar, you're completely normal - and you are in good company.
The small number of businesses that run brilliantly are not smarter or luckier. They are simply strong in six key things - and those six things can be learned.
This practical, hands-on morning workshop is built around the simple, proven operating system that tens of thousands of entrepreneurial companies use to get what they want from their business: EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System. It is deliberately no-jargon, with plenty of real-world examples and time to apply the ideas to your own business - not just hear about them.
What you will take away
- A clear picture of the Six Key Components every great business gets right - and how yours measures up today
- Practical tools you can use the very next day - the Accountability Chart, the Scorecard, Rocks and the weekly Level 10 meeting
- A common-sense way to get your leadership team aligned and accountable
- A clear-eyed view of where your business is strong, and where it is holding you back
Who it is for
Founders / owners of established, ambitious businesses (typically 10 to 250 people) who know they are capable of more and want to make that happen.

What's included
Every ticket includes your own copy of Traction by Gino Wickman, a workshop workbook to capture your thinking, and refreshments on arrival.
The real proof is in the results. Here are two business owners who have implemented EOS in their own companies, talking about the difference it has made:
Abby Litting and Louise Monange, The DEN Nursery Group
Richard Kennedy, Co-founder, Cornerstone Place
And here is what business owners who joined the last Get a Grip workshop said on the day:
"Deep enough to be vastly useful, but high-level enough to be consumable." - Adam Snowden, Snow Technologies
"Very clear, concise and well explained in how business owners can improve their daily lives." - Jack Ibbotson, Ibbco
"Held the room's attention and explained the process logically, with good use of examples." - John Russell, ICEX Group
"A great, engaging presentation style." - Maxine Bromyard, Citizens Advice East Herts
