The Health & Fitness Network - Q4: Thinking In Systems

Welcome back to The South Yorkshire Health & Fitness Network!

This is the last formal event of the year, and the one that decides what January looks like.

Most people in health and fitness spend the final quarter working harder inside a business that was never set up to give them what they wanted from it. The diary fills, the admin piles up, and the plan for next year gets written in a rush on the first of January. This morning is about changing that.

Whether you are self-employed or running a limited company, the aim is the same. Do less of the day-to-day that drains you, do more of the work you actually enjoy, and still grow.

Our guest speaker: Russell Thompson

Russ is an award-winning business strategy advisor and mentor who helps businesses become more operationally efficient and prepare for growth, scale, sale and change.

He delivers this through his "Director on Demand" brand and Crucible product, so businesses of any size can get the support they need without signing into long or expensive contracts. He is in his 13th year as Director on Demand, following a 25-year career as a senior manager and director in the utilities sector, where projects under his management delivered over £50 million in profit and operational savings.

His talk: Thinking in Systems

Most owners work harder inside a business that was never designed to give them what they want. Russ shows how a business really works, as a connected system of seven parts, and how simplicity rather than more effort is what gets it moving. You will leave able to spot the weaknesses in your own business, and with a practical way to start fixing them.

Panel

We will also be joined by a panel of local professionals sharing what has and has not worked for them. Names announced shortly.

Our host venue

We head to EnHANce Coaching, curated by Hannah Dunn. A private ladies-only small group personal training space where strength meets support, designed for women who value quality, connection and lasting results. Hannah will be talking about the business behind it.

Open networking, structured introductions so nobody is left standing on their own, Russ's talk, then questions.

We are also announcing something new in the room on the day. You will want to be there for it.
