The programme is designed to help both new business-owners who have just started to follow their dream, and established business-owners who want to go to the next level. The focus is on Selling with Confidence to answer one key question: How can I be more confident when selling? To do this the facilitated group will explore: • How to build on your marketing and online presence to gain access to buyers • How to sell without being the stereotypical pushy salesperson • A simple approach to make your selling more consistent and successful. Whilst this Masterclass focuses primarily on Business-to-Business sales (B2B), some of the content will certainly be applicable for Business to Consumer (B2C) sales, especially where you interact in person with prospective customers. You’ll hear from existing business leaders in the B2B sector and a sales training expert. This masterclass will be facilitated by Roger Cawte, who has over twenty years of business experience working with various SMEs as either owner, director, employee, or independent advisor. Whether you are in the final stages of planning, the very early stages of launch, or you are already running your own business, we will cover a variety of topics to aid you in making sure your journey is as successful as it can be.

July 12, 2021	July 13, 2021	July 14, 2021 6:00 pm: Exploring Inherited Trauma - by Holocaust Exhibition & Learning Centre July 14, 2021 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm About this event A workshop for members of the 3rd and 4th generation using new ways of considering our relationship with inherited memory. Wednesday 14 July and Thursday 15 July 6pm-9pm (both essential) with a follow-upevening of Thursday 5 August (optional but recommended). Meet artist Daria Martin and take part in workshops she is using to explore relationships with inherited memory, including her own. As part of a long-term project exploring the dreams her grandmother recorded in diaries as a Holocaust refugee, these sessions are part of Daria’s process working towards the final phase of the project, a new film. Led by an experienced facilitator, Laurie Slade, the workshops will use the Social Dreaming* technique to allow the group to share and respond to each other’s memories and dreams. Taking part in the workshop is a way to explore a form of group storytelling in a safe environment where what you share or not is up to you. You will also be asked to share an object and a story associated to your ancestor. The workshops are not a form of therapy but aim to create an opportunity for shared storytelling. Daria will be a group member, exploring her own inherited memory through associations made with recollected dreams. She may use select words and phrases from the dreams anonymously in the film’s songs. The film will screen at multiple venues, including the Manchester Jewish Museum from the autumn. Daria Martin is an internationally acclaimed artist-filmmaker and winner of the 2018 Jarman Award. Daria transformed her grandmother's dreams, recorded in an extensive diary, through her solo exhibition ‘Tonight the World’ at the Barbican Curve Gallery, 2019, travelling to the Contemporary Jewish Museum San Francisco in 2020. This project is supported by Arts Council England and delivered with support from Holocaust Survivors’ Friendship Association, University of Huddersfield; Manchester Jewish Museum and Imperial War Museums.
