Blueprint Business Workshops are a place of learning and connection for those within a workplace or business context.

Each workshop is a standalone evening, focusing on a different topic, with both practical teaching and sharing of real-life experiences.

Workshops will be hosted by business leaders from across the North Coast, who lead with integrity in their everyday. 

Whether you have been in business for years, find yourself in a position of influence in the workplace, or have a dream of starting something new, come along to be inspired, challenged, and encouraged.

Together we will learn what it looks like to find purpose within the everyday work environment.  

with Andrew Lynas 

23rd May 2023 

“Imagine this triple whammy – dealing with Brexit when you sell to Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, then losing 85% of our business in 7 days next during Covid and battling the worst Food inflation in 20 years with a cost-of-living crisis!”

In this workshop, Andrew will address the question, ‘How do we deal with uncertainty and challenge?’ 

with Karise Hutchinson 

30th May 2023 

There has never been so many self-help books, podcasts, and courses about how to be a better leader. Yet, for all this ‘learning,’ it is not easy to see role models of strong and healthy leaders in society.

In this workshop, Karise will help participants understand the real meaning of leadership – the process of knowing, doing, and becoming, and provide insight into how to exercise the leadership muscle in a strong and healthy way.
