Ready to take your social enterprise to the next level? Wondering what your next steps are and how to grow your impact sustainably without compromising your values? This workshop delves into scaling your business and social impact in a way that’s ethical, efficient, and tailored to the needs of your enterprise.

Led by Tom Allen, Founder of Impact Boom, this session offers a flexible approach designed to equip you with practical skills and insights. You'll explore different strategies, examine what you need to start thinking about now for future success, and compare notes with your peers. Emphasis will be placed on sustainable practices and the unique challenges faced by impact-driven businesses.

Expect an engaging, interactive environment where you’ll not only learn but actively contribute to discussions, adapting the session to fit your unique needs and challenges. Tom’s extensive experience in social enterprise means he’ll be responsive to the group’s dynamics, ensuring that each participant gains valuable, actionable takeaways to fuel their impact journey.

This workshop is ideal for founders, social entrepreneurs, and business leaders committed to growth with integrity.
