Working with universities
I work with universities across Europe helping the students to start their own businesses and train the trainers to help the students. I do that by running workshops, competitions and 1:1 mentoring sessions – in person or via Skype. No matter at what stage the students are in their start-up journey, I am helping them with my knowledge, my network and coaching skills. I am a trained Coach and NLP Practitioner. I have also published several books . In addition to that I am the Vice Preseident of the European Startup Association. If you are a university that would like to create or expand start-up support for students, please feel free to contact me. I am flexible in location and the way I work. I can either run workshops and 1:1 sessions in person or online – one off or continous support. Below I outline what I have done for other universities. Looking forward to hearing from you.
