Collective Brain - peer support for solopreneurs and micro-businesses

If you’ve been running your business for a year or more, you’ll know the reality: you’re everything. Winning work, delivering it, managing money, making decisions, keeping momentum going and often doing it without anyone to properly sense-check things with.

Whether you’re a solopreneur or running a business with one or two others, it can be hard to step out of the day-to-day and think clearly about what’s next. This session gives you that space.

This 90-minute peer support session is designed for business owners who want time to reflect, solve problems and move forward.

In this session, you’ll join a small group of peers facing similar challenges, you can share what’s been stuck or circling in your head, get fresh perspective from others facing similar challenges and the reassurance that you’re not the only one figuring this out.

This isn’t a talk or traditional networking event. It’s a structured, supportive working session designed to be useful, focused and worth your time.

This is a small group session, with up to 20 people. We’ll be breaking into smaller groups throughout the session.

Facilitated by Head of Member Engagement and Deputy CEO at Brighton Chamber, Amy Lishman. Alongside Sarah at Brighton Chamber, Amy leads the Chamber, a small business like yours, and she has worked with businesses in Brighton for the best part of a decade. She is a trained Action Learning Facilitator, loves all things learning and development and runs the Chamber Business Book Club. She spends her working days asking questions, listening and connecting.
