“From Start-Up to Success Story; The Leadership Challenge”
This event will be hosted by subject matter specialists from Belfast based consultancy Goldblatt McGuigan (www.goldblattmcguigan.com) with a highly experienced expert panel of successful entrepreneurs including Bro McFerran of Allstate, Jayne Brady of Intune Networks and Philip Cassidy of gem.
Programme Overview:
What is your career path? Do you have the tools you need to grow and lead a successful team of talented people? Are you confined to a tech founder’s life of start-up after start up or can you play a leading role in helping to grow a business that you have founded?
Join us on 4th February for an information workshop to discuss the key challenges and opportunities facing start ups in the development of strategic leadership capabilities to help propel a business to the next level, covering:
• EQ versus IQ.
• Role evolution with organisational growth.
• Connecting with employees and followers.
• Leading growth.
• Experiences and stories from those that have made the transition.
The seminar will be led by Rupert Johnston and Caroline Duffy of Goldblatt McGuigan, supported by panelists including Bro McFerran, Jayne Brady and Philip Cassidy.

NISP offers ongoing educational opportunities for entrepreneurs building and growing innovative hitech, biotech or cleantech companies and offers member companies the opportunity to provide expert content to a responsive, interactive audience.
Many of today’s business founders and future entrepreneurs have scientific and technical backgrounds but have had limited experience in industry, so they often lack exposure to critical information which is essential to leading a start-up. To fill this gap, NISP offers Frameworks Entrepreneur Workshops to provide these bright leaders with the vocabulary, foundations and framework around which they can build awareness of the many disciplines they will oversee as “C” level managers”
