From Uncertain to Empowered Entrepreneur

📍 Workshop Attended: Business & Entrepreneurship Workshop Week

The Challenge

One of our participants came to the workshop feeling disengaged with school, often needing extra support to complete tasks, and lacking confidence in their own abilities. Despite having family connections to business, they didn’t believe entrepreneurship was something they could ever achieve.

The Workshop Experience

Through our interactive and gamified learning approach, they experienced:

• Working Independently – completing tasks on their own with the support of our simple, structured workbook.

• Discovering Strengths – demonstrating critical thinking skills by helping peers improve their ideas and identifying potential customer challenges.

• Finding Confidence – standing up and presenting their team’s business idea to classmates and teachers.

💬 “I’ve always struggled at school but I really enjoyed the workshop week and am proud of myself.”

The Outcome

By the end of the workshop, this participant had:
✅ Developed a clear idea for a business project
✅ Built the confidence to share ideas in front of others
✅ Identified practical next steps, from further study to gaining work experience

They left the programme with newfound confidence and a belief in their ability to succeed in education and beyond.
