Format & Time Investment

Across 9 weekly online classes of 90 minutes (with a follow up 1:1 coaching session) business owners will benefit from facilitated sessions and self-moderated peer group discussions led by a highly skilled and experienced Icehouse facilitator, subject-matter experts and fellow business owners.

Sessions are interactive and inclusive and will at times be deliberately provocative and challenging. Each element of the online programme has been designed to keep participants interested and engaged as they think about what they need to do to retool and refocus their business.

In the final session of the Virtual Business Owner Programme, you will develop and present a clear 90-day plan with goals based on where you see the business going and what is required to execute.

The follow-up 1:1 coaching session is a check-in session to help ensure you are on track to implement your 90-day plan and the goals you set during the online programme. This time with an Icehouse coach provides the opportunity to track your progress and identify and discuss any challenges you are experiencing or road-blocks to your success.

I wish we started earlier. We put mental blocks in place which made it seem too hard. I wish we started a few years prior... there is no better time than now to take a leap and make a change. You put other owners on pedestals, but they all started from where we were and it’s better to start earlier than later.
