****************************

Do you have a project idea and wish to embark on entrepreneurship? Our collective coaching programme “Idea Emergence” is designed for you! For two weeks, you will be guided by an experienced trainer who has experienced the realities of entrepreneurship in the field. You will gain access to tools and valuable content to boost your creativity and reveal your entrepreneurial DNA.

Join our small group of participants to create synergies and exchange ideas. Discover innovative techniques to differentiate your business in the market and enhance its added value. Our entrepreneurial ideation cycle includes a “kick-off” session and 4 sessions of collective exchange and reflection.

Finally, we will conclude the cycle with an online debriefing session to assess your achievements and help you take action. So, are you ready to reveal your entrepreneurial potential and build a project that reflects you? Join our “Idea Emergence” coaching cycle and bring your vision to life!

At the end of the collective coaching cycle, participants will be able to:

• Position their idea in the targeted market based on desirability, feasibility, viability, and profitability (and/or sustainability).
  

• Understand the reality of the entrepreneurial profession.
  

• Consolidate the next steps to follow if the primary feasibility of their project is confirmed.
