On Monday 11 September you can attend a free workshop to help you gain more awareness of, and tools for, managing different types of people.

This event is aimed at SME business owners or line managers - either those who are newly appointed, or existing managers who feel they'd like a fresh approach.

The workshop trainer is WendyAnne Shapiro from Lotus Flower Consultancy Ltd. It is brought to you by AIM for the Black Country, a service being offered to SMEs to help you enhance your growth and competitiveness. Through a partnership arrangement between the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, Black Country Growth Hub, local authorities, Black Country Consortium and the University of Wolverhampton you will be able to access a coordinated approach to a range of business support, advice and workshops. You can enter the programme through any of the aforementioned partners who will then manage the process from start to finish.
