“Taking part in 'Help to Grow' has helped me carve out the time to think more strategically about the direction of my business and reconnected me with the initial vision. The blended learning approach was very flexible, allowing me to choose when that thinking time was. Discussions with other business leaders in my cohort were also very valuable. Finally, having access to a mentor held me accountable to my growth action plan.”

Dr. Mhairi Towler, Founder & CEO of Vivomotion
