February 18th - Creating a Culture of Collaboration, with Sylvia Baldock
Our Scotland House Lunch and Learn is back with Sylvia Baldock covering how to "Create a Culture of Collaboration".
GALLUP POLLS show that at least 80% of British workers are not playing to their strengths at work. They are not appreciated for the unique value they bring to the workplace, resulting in low engagement and motivation and reduced productivity and profitability.
Sylvia Baldock offers a powerful team collaboration session which highlights how to utilise the inherent strengths of individuals to maximise the talent in your organisation and develop a ‘Culture of Collaboration’
This event series is open to all Scottish Business Network members and Scotland House members.
February 18th – SBN Masterclass Series with Professor Lynne Cadenhead
Our Masterclass series continues in London with "Investment in Women Led Businesses - The Challenges and Opportunities" with Professor Lynne Cadenhead.
When female led businesses are experiencing growth they encounter different challenges from male or mixed led businesses. In this Masterclass, Lynne will be joined by SBN Members Joy Lewis and Becky Woodhouse who will discuss their business journeys and the challenges they have faced because of their gender.
Lynne will also give some insight into these challenges and delve into why women led businesses should be thought of differently, especially when it comes to investment.
February 18th – London Event Series
We continue our London activity in the familiar surroundings of Smith & Williamson where we will hear from Joy Lewis of AAI Employability, Aeneas O'Hara of Away from the Ordinary and Aimee Anderson of Aimee Anderson Associates. All three will share their asks in front of SBN Members and guests, seeking advice and guidance on how to continue scaling their business in London and abroad.

The Scottish Business Network podcast series continues as Fraser interviews Michael Mancini of 1718ltd.
