In H1 2018, Valerie Monti Holland, Claire Robinson and I conducted an Innovation Pilot backed by Creative Fuse North East. We ran four workshops and learned a lot! We validated our hypothesis that entrepreneurs struggle with their wellbeing and benefit from in-depth assistance and peer support. This deck summarises our learnings.
