      CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY
      Masterclass: The Clarity Effect: How Knowing Yourself Strengthens Your Business

      Behind every strong business is a leader who knows who they are. But when you’re busy running a business or leading a team, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly drives you - and that lack of clarity can ripple into every part of how you show up, make decisions and communicate your value.

      In this energising, practical two-hour session, Career and Leadership Coach Daisy Goreham will guide you through a clear, structured process to reconnect with your strengths, values, and purpose - and translate that insight into confident action.

      You’ll leave with:

      • A sharper understanding of what makes you and your business unique
      • A confident, authentic way to describe who you are and why your work matters
      • Practical language and insights you can use immediately across networking, leadership, client conversations and everyday communication

      This isn’t just about “personal branding” - it’s about grounding your confidence in who you really are, so your business feels clearer, calmer and more aligned.

      Who is it by: Daisy Goreham, Daisy Goreham Development

      CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY
      Masterclass: Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini AI in Action

      Join this hands-on workshop to explore Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini AI in action. You’ll learn how to craft effective prompts, discover what these tools can and can’t do based on your licence, and see how they can supercharge your productivity across apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Docs, Sheets, and more.

      What will I get out of it? 

      • You will leave this session with a clear idea of what Copilot and Gemini can and can’t do based on the Microsoft or Google licence that you have.
      • You will learn how to build excellent prompts that give you output you want.
      • You will learn what you can do with Copilot and Gemini in the apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail and more.
      • You will learn how to build a simple Agent or Gem. For example, a custom tool that writes emails that sound exactly like you.
      Who is it for? Those with a Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account who want to use Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini AI to help them streamline their daily work, assist them with time consuming tasks and produce more impressive work such as in-depth research.

      Note 1: This will be a hands-on workshop so please bring your laptop. Make sure you have tested logging in to either Copilot or Gemini (depending on whether you are a Microsoft or a Google user).

      Note 2: Paid licences give more functionality and not all of the above will be available with all licences. This will be a great opportunity to find out what is possible with different versions.

      NETWORKING BREAKFAST
      Shaping the Future of Sussex - Insights from the Interim Chief Executive

      CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY
      Expert Hour: The Small Business Guide To Finding & Keeping The Right People

      This expert session is designed for small business owners who do not have an HR or recruitment team and want a simple, practical approach to hiring well. Many small businesses learn recruitment through trial and error which often leads to wasted time, frustration and the wrong people joining the team. This workshop breaks it all down into clear, human and manageable steps.

      What we will cover:
      In this 1.5 hour session we will look at:

      • How to define what you actually need before you advertise
      • How to write an advert that attracts the right people
      • How to shortlist effectively without spending hours reading CVs
      • How to run a simple but revealing interview that shows whether the person will be a good fit
      • How to avoid the most common mistakes that cost small businesses time and money
      • How to keep good people once you’ve found them

      Everything is designed with small businesses in mind. No jargon, no complicated models, just clear tools and examples you can use straight away.

      Who it is for:
      Small business owners, founders, managers and anyone who is responsible for hiring or people decisions but does not have formal recruitment training.

      What people will walk away with:
      • A simple step by step roadmap for their next hire
      • Practical templates and questions they can use immediately
      • More confidence in assessing people fairly and consistently
      • Clarity on what “good” looks like when hiring in a small business
      • A better understanding of how to keep the right people once they join

          Date: Wednesday 18th March

          Venue: Worthing College, 1 Sanditon Way, Worthing BN14 9FD
          Free for Members to attend 

          Expert:  Sam Pewsey, People Finding Consultancy 
          "Hi, I’m Sam, and I’m the recruitment consultant behind People Finding Consultancy. I find the right people for the right roles, taking the stress out of recruitment and freeing you up to focus on running your business. With more than 20 years of experience, I’ve immersed myself in every aspect of the recruitment and employment process and have worked with organisations of all sizes, from sole traders to blue-chip companies. People Finding Consultancy isn’t a recruitment agency; I don’t have a list of people to sell you. I work in partnership with you to understand your needs – the role, your company values, your industry – then find you the right person who will add long-term value to your business. My superpower is matching people’s skillsets to roles where they can flourish. From job advert creation right through to final-stage interviews, you can entrust the entire process to me."

          Masterclass: Finance for the Non-Finance Professional 

          Course details:  The course will aim to breakdown and explain the various aspects of accountancy in business for the non financial person. More often than not business owners are shown a set of company accounts or management accounts and don’t understand what they are looking at let alone, what they are signing off on. We will go through the various key aspects including the Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Management Accounts, Budgets and Cashflows. The aim will be simplify things and explain the terminology so that you feel more comfortable looking at figures.

          Who is it for: Business owners and anyone involved in the financial side of running a business.   

          What will I get out of it? By the end of the seminar you will have a clear understanding of financial statements and hopefully some useful tips to make things easier for you moving forward. You will also get a chance to ask any questions that you may have, no matter how trivial you think it may be. The chances are if you are thinking it, someone else is as well. Feel free to submit any specific items you want covered before the event and we will incorporate it for you.

          Who is it by: Laura Clark from Galloways Accounting in Worthing. Laura has worked in accountancy for 13 years after having completed her degree in Accountancy and Finance.
