Agenda

08:00 - 08:45: Breakfast and networking

08:45 - 09:15: What's It Like Doing Business With You? A practical session exploring The Civility Gap™ with Lauri Smith

When you work for yourself, you are your business. How you communicate, respond under pressure, manage boundaries and build relationships all influence how clients, colleagues and fellow business owners experience your brand.

In this engaging and interactive session, Lauri Smith, creator of The Civility Gap™, explores the gap between how we intend to show up and how others may actually experience us.

Expect practical insights, honest reflection and a few thought-provoking questions about communication, reputation, boundaries and the everyday behaviours that can make—or quietly damage—our business relationships.

You'll leave with simple actions you can put into practice immediately, whether you're a sole trader, freelancer, business owner or part of a larger team.

09:15 - 09:45: Group discussions - an informal session around specific challenges business owners may be facing.

09:45 - 10:00: Networking

Background information

Bolsover District Council (BDC) was the driving force behind Bolsover Means Business, an initiative which helped businesses to prepare for Net Zero 2030. As part of this support, BDC ran events which were well attended by local businesses. To offer better-rounded support BDC have replaced the Bolsover Means Business with Business in Bolsover events. These events will cover a range of topics all aimed at supporting local businesses as well as providing networking opportunities.
