If you are looking for a room to hire for a few hours occasionally or a permanent slot then we would urge you to contact Tilly or Louise and come and have a look around.

It is a great space to work in and so convenient for walking into the town centre. Communal kitchens, parking directly outside, well cared for buildings and additional rooms for hire if you need extra space for a day!

Introducing BUSINESS OWNERS SPOTLIGHT.

We have been busy interviewing business owners to find out about their business journeys.

Sharing and learning from other people helps you know that there are others facing the same challenges as you, so we have interviewed a diverse range of business owners across the South West answering questions you want to know the answers to.

We will be releasing new content each week featuring business owners from a wide range of business sizes and sectors - to inspire, educate and connect.

Today meet Paul Skinner of Cornish Accounting Solutions

Paul talks about his extensive experience working with businesses within Cornwall.

"A great team is one of the first steps towards reducing your hours, so make sure you're giving your team everything they need in order to work without you. Whether this is bespoke training, new systems or even just the trust from you that will allow them to take on more responsibility.

This week, ask each team member what they think would be helpful to them for improving their skills and ability within the workplace. Find out what they need, and start taking a step back to watch your business work for you."

One of the things I love about being an ActionCOACH is being connected to a community of over 250 coaches in the UK (1,000 worldwide) and hearing client success stories.

We all have access to the same resources and follow simple frameworks which are then adapted to the individual business needs. This case study shows that the variety of businesses which can be helped are vast. I love seeing businesses, both large and small, across all sectors achieve their potential!
