About this Event
Come together in person in Bristol city centre with other local founders and business owners to share experiences, learn practical tools, and leave with clarity and confidence.
Who this session is for
Small business owners and founders who:
- Have grown their business and now lead a small team or are starting to form a team.
- Realising managing people is more complex than they expected.
- Want to spend less time fixing team issues and more time focusing on growth and strategy.
- Eager to save time, avoid painful mistakes, and build a capable, engaged team.
Why You Should Attend
You’ve built your business through hard work and determination.
Now it’s time to build your team with the same confidence.
This workhop gives you proven frameworks and hands-on tools to:
- Understand what your team really needs from you at each stage.
- Create clarity so everyone moves in the same direction.
- Build engagement and ownership so you’re not doing all the pushing.
- Apply psychological insights from high-performing teams to your unique context.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Hands-on and practical: no theory overload, every idea can be used straight away in your business.
- Led by experts who’ve been there: business psychologists Amaia Lesta and Karen Wills have both led teams in the NHS and tech, so they know the real pressures of running a growing business.
- Made for local business owners: learn alongside others who are facing the same challenges of growth, people, and time.
Learning Outcomes
The session is designed around tools informed by the psychology of high-performing teams, helping you strengthen collaboration, trust, and performance in your business. You’ll learn how to:
- Recognise the stage your team is in and what it needs from you as a leader.
- Align your team through clarity of goals, roles, and purpose.
- Build engagement and participation so your people take ownership and drive results.
