For the first session, everyone was welcomed by Waalitj Hub Business Coach, Katrina, then had the chance to introduce themselves and their business before diving into the course structure and what they will achieve out of the program. The session concluded with some lunch, allowing for participating business owners to network and connect with each other. 

Over the next 6 months they will cover a range of topics including overcoming fear and self-doubt, public speaking, developing your profile and brand, networking, business development and attracting clients, goal setting and action planning for success.  

Each participant will also have the opportunity for a one-on-one consultation with Shona for some more personalised guidance, which they can use at any point throughout the program.
