SUMMARY:[FULL] The Courageous Females Programme (Northallerton)
DESCRIPTION:The Courageous Females support programme is for Women in Business (owners or their teams) who want to reach their potential and enjoy higher levels of confidence and resilience. \n \nFor Women in Business (owners or their teams) who want to reach their potential and enjoy higher levels of confidence and resilience. \n\nDo you ever feel as if you can’t be you? That you have to put on an act?\nPerhaps you think you’re not good enough or that you don’t fit in?\nPerhaps you are comparing yourself to others or worry what others think?\n\nBut that’s not who you want to be! You know you have the ability to succeed\, but right now\, it feels out of reach. \nThis can often leads to a spiral of  feeling low in confidence\, overloaded with self-doubt\, living life out of balance\, feeling stretched beyond capacity\, and having a head so full of thoughts that you simply can’t switch off. \nNot to mention\, how all of this can affect your self-worth\, making it far less likely that you will take opportunities that you know you could take to grow your business\, more likely to have a lower turnover as you’re not charging your worth\, not pursuing funding opportunities or progress up the career ladder as quickly as you are able. \nBut\, it doesn’t have to be that way. Perhaps you know that life can be lived on different terms\, that you could reach your potential and not get in your own way but are not sure how? \nThe Growth Hub are proud to announce a further peer-to-peer cohort of the Courageous Females Programme\, following a series of fully booked cohorts in recent years. Starting in October 2025\, this will be facilitated by Andrea Morrison Coaching and hosted in York\, and will be available to businesses located in the York and North Yorkshire. \nIf you’re thinking ‘this is me’\, this is the programme for you. \nThe Courageous Females Programme is underpinned by ‘State of Mind’ Coaching\, a cutting-edge psychological understanding\, there are no tools or techniques\, you will explore a deeper understanding of your own psychology facilitating real\, sustainable change. This will leave you feeling far more naturally empowered enabling you to move beyond stress\, low self-esteem and burnout to one of confidence\, resilience and balance so that you can take opportunities that are right for you\, grow your businesses or progress your career\, and ultimately fulfil your potential. \nThe Programme will cover:\nConstant Confidence \nRediscover your confidence – how to feel confident in yourself\, trust yourself and your decisions. \nRobust Resilience \nHow to bounce back stronger than ever\, no matter what work (or life) throws at you. \nEmotional Wellness \nThe secret to letting go of stress\, overthinking\, fear\, doubt and worry. \nStepping out and feeling free \nHow to follow what you know is right\, stepping out of your comfort zone and stepping up to the challenge\, feeling free of whatever it is that is holding you back. \nCreating Flourishing Working Relationships \nHow to take out the stress of work relationships\, how to find understanding & compassion in the most challenging of relationships. How to support colleagues and team members to reduce stress and tension and to bring out the best in each other. \nInspired Living \nHow to tap into your innate capacity for creativity\, fresh ideas and even a little ingenuity \nTrue Balance & How to Flourish at Life \nLearn the secret behind creating a work/life balance with ease. How to thrive in your work\, irrespective of your current circumstances. How to feel joyful\, hopeful and excited for your future – no matter what it may hold! \nThese areas are not exhaustive and the programme will accommodate the needs of those on the programme. \nTestimonials\n“LIFE CHANGING! The way this course has filtered into everyday life – business\, personal relationships\, household life\, is amazing. I’m now far more conscious of my thoughts and therefore my reactions. Reducing the ‘chatter’ in my mind so that it distracts me less. Realising that all emotions/thoughts are ok\, are a signal to how I am doing generally and will pass (so not to worry about them). Trust my gut – very helpful for making decisions in my business rather than agonising over everything. Ihopetoremainconnectedtothisgroupofwomenwhichwillexpandmynetworkbothpersonallyand professionally (as a sole trader this is really important).” – Anonymous \n“Andrea\, took a lot of things I’d already heard and knew about and explained them in ways that felt actionable and achievable. The biggest thing for me is that she reassures you that you are human and experiencing a range if thoughts and emotions is normal. It’s all about how you respond to them when they arise. I honestly feel like a different person after the course. The course has helped me recognise that I created a lot of drama out of things that really didn’t matter. I always felt like things were going wrong all the time. I realise now that it was just me making it all up. I feel a lot more relaxed about other peoples behaviour and in control of my own narrative of different situations.” – Poppy Collier \n“I decided on a route for my business after following my gut feeling and listening to my wisdom – My business will now be taking a different direction to meet the needs of the new bride we have shopping with us. I have been able to identify that the questions i keep asking myself\, or the doubts I have\, or the procrastination are just thoughts. It has allowed me to see things clearer in my business and be braver in making decisions. Re-frames the way you think about EVERYTHING. It has brought calmness to my thoughts and to my life. I feel reassured that I’m taking the right steps with the support of a fabulous mentor and group of women.” – Diana McMann \n“I found the course incredibly inciteful on both a personal and professional level. I found Andrea was a brilliant facilitator and enjoyed connecting with other business women. It has changed my mindset which going forward will enable me to make decisions which fit with who I am as an individual and what I want my business to offer. It has been empowering which I believe will impact every aspect of my business. It has given me a different perspective and I already have ideas on how I can develop and grow my business on this understanding.” – Gemma Antcliffe Counselling \nAbout the Courageous Females Programme\nThis peer-to-peer programme is fully funded by the UK Government through York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority’s allocation of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund\, and is open to businesses within York & North Yorkshire.
