Beyond success stories
Beyond is a little bit different to other business support programmes, it’s designed to support you with whatever it is you’re dealing with right now. The things that keep you up at night, the stumbling blocks that you can’t see a way past, the challenges that are unique to your business.
All kinds of digital, creative, and tech businesses have benefited from Beyond. Like Hi-Impact who needed a safe space to assess where the business was, where they wanted to take it – and how to get there. Since completing the Beyond programme, they have undergone transformative changes, steering their focus towards growth, nurturing the health of their business, and unlocking future opportunities. The ripple effect has already been felt with increased productivity and efficiency across all areas of the company.
While according to redwigwam after finishing Beyond, they have a clear focus on what’s next for the business and what they want to achieve. As a recruitment tech business, they knew it was vital to stay ahead of evolving trends and Beyond helped them to make the transition to a product business with a fully self-serve customer offering.
Kaleidoscope's participation in the Beyond programme resulted in effectively filling multiple positions, contributing significantly to the continuous expansion of both the team and the business. As well as engaging with the local Gather community provided valuable networking opportunities with local businesses, culminating in a partnership with a digital marketing agency and a collaborative effort on a substantial, large-scale contract.
The power of executive coaching
As a leader, getting coaching for yourself might seem like a ‘nice to have’, maybe even a bit indulgent, but a coach can help you navigate the challenges that growth inevitably brings and get you on top of your game. When Paul Davies from Yozu worked with an executive coach on Beyond, he said it was vital to have someone who could, “cut through the nonsense and give an external perspective on challenges”.
A coach provides a confidential sounding board and can help you become a more self-aware, resilient, and emotionally intelligent leader.
When you join the Beyond programme, you’re matched with an growth consultant and executive coach who has the right skills and experience to help you and your business thrive. You can meet some of our coaches and consultants here.
