Are you a woman business owner who isn’t seeing growth results even though you are working tirelessly? Do you struggle to build consistent clients or maintain predictable revenue? Have you taken courses, developed a social media strategy, attended networking events. and still don’t see the needle moving?
Peterborough entrepreneur Sheena Howard has some answers for you. On Friday, June 19 beginning at 1 p.m., the award-winning coach and mentor is leading an interactive three-hour workshop designed to help women business owners in the service-based industry find and solve the bottlenecks preventing them from growing their business. “Why Your Business Isn’t Growing (And What to Do About It)” will be held in the Multipurpose Room of the Peterborough Public Library for an investment of $147.
Howard is the founder of the award-winning Acceptance Clinic, the only full-service mental health clinic in Canada owned and staffed entirely by nurses. She is also the founder of BizNurse Savvy, through which she has supported more than 100 women in launching and growing their businesses.
Howard saw the need for the workshop locally after hearing from many women business owners who found nothing was working for them after they followed the advice of male coaches or influencers who said they needed to take more courses or squeeze more tasks into their already full schedules.
“Women business owners have assumed that they needed more social media, networking, followers, marketing, but have they really identified what the bottlenecks are in their business?” Howard asks.
“Oftentimes when we’re launching our business and we’re in the process of growing, it’s hard for us to take a step back to see if that’s actually the problem. Perhaps it’s not necessarily about staying busy — it’s about deciding where to focus their energy and where it’s going to make the biggest amount of difference.”
Throughout the workshop, Howard will guide women business owners with practical insights to explore the most common growth bottlenecks preventing them from attracting more clients, increasing revenue, and creating momentum, as well as how best to focus their time, energy, and resources.
Participants will be given a step-by-step workbook, and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and network with other women business owners in a similar position. They will leave with a 90-day plan to move their business forward so that, when the summer comes to an end, they can hit the ground running and know exactly where best to invest their time.
Those interested in getting a deeper dive can book a follow-up one-on-one business intensive with Howard, delivered in a full-day format or over a three-month period. Throughout the intensive, Howard will spend time digging deeper into the business, website, social media, and business plan before coaching and collaborating with the owner on growth strategies that can bring effective change.
“We look at what is going to make the biggest impact on their business in the next six months to a year,” Howard says. “At the end, they come out with a detailed descriptive plan, my assessment, and next steps for their business.”
