      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#6C3A77"&gt;&lt;img src="https://worthingandadurchamber.co.uk/resources/Pictures/Goal%20Setting%20Workshop.PNG" alt="" title="" border="0" width="117" height="180" align="right" style="margin: 8px;"&gt;CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" color="#B5BF00" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Annual Goal Setting Workshop - Free for Chamber Members!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="81" data-end="144" style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Join us for a dynamic 3-hour workshop designed to help you set clear, actionable goals that align with your business vision.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Whether you're refining your long-term strategy or just need help getting started, this interactive session will give you the tools, frameworks, and confidence to move forward with purpose.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style=""&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;Explore the difference between short-, mid-, and long-term goals&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Learn how to craft SMART goals and understand&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;OKRs (Objectives &amp;amp; Key Results) vs. KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;Identify common roadblocks and how to overcome them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;Break your goals into a 90-day action plan with peer support&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p data-start="721" data-end="922" style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;With hands-on exercises like creating a Business Vision Board, the SMART Goal Challenge, and working with an accountability partner, you'll leave with a solid plan—and the motivation to see it through.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="924" data-end="1031" style=""&gt;&lt;strong data-start="924" data-end="1031"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Open to all Chamber members – reserve your spot now and make your next business year your best one yet!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#6C3A77"&gt;CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#B5BF00"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Masterclass: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Finance for the Non-Finance Professional&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(181, 191, 0);"&gt;Course details:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#B5BF00" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Who is it for:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style=""&gt;Business owners and anyone involved in the financial side of running a business.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#B5BF00" face="Ubuntu" style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"&gt;What will I get out of it?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://worthingandadurchamber.co.uk/resources/Pictures/Galloways%20Logo%20-%20Blue.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="162" height="66" align="right" style="margin: 8px;"&gt;
