Importance of being your Authentic Self in Business-it is OK to be Weird

This workshop is designed to help teach you how to express who you and your business are - and what makes you so unique.
About this Event

Everyone tells entrepreneurs to "be authentic."
Almost nobody explains why it actually matters, what it can look like or what gets in the way.

In this 90-minute workshop, we're exploring what authenticity means and why it can be so hard to do.

You'll leave with a clearer sense of what makes you genuinely different, why trying to sound polished and professional might be pushing your ideal clients away, and how to show up as yourself - even when that feels terrifying.

No scripts. No performing. No pretending you've got it all figured out.

Just you, some honest conversation, and a practical way forward.

This is for you if you're constantly second-guessing yourself and wondering whether the "real" you is too much for clients. (Spoiler: it isn't.)

This is an in-person event in Conference Room 3, next to the BIPC, 1st floor of Jubilee Library, Brighton.

About the Speaker
Having worked with clients for over 18 years Margaret Sinclair is an experienced and successful therapist. Initially training and practicing as an Osteopath, she witnessed the power of the mind in helping people experience less pain and heal faster.

So powerful were the results that when she got arthritis her next direction was clear – help people by using the power of their mind.

Margaret is qualified and experienced in helping people using Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Mindfulness, CBT and Life Coaching. She uses the knowledge and techniques of these therapies, along with years of experience, to create unique solutions to individual’s problems. This can be in the form of working with people 1-2-1 or by delivering workshops to groups, online and in-person.

Specialist areas Margaret loves include, stress and anxiety, building self-confidence, removing limiting beliefs, self-care, neurodiversity, and more.

Margaret’s business is called Mind Tamers, as she helps people tame their mind.
