Programs
There isn't one right way to build a business.
What works depends on what you're trying to build, the people you want to work with, what your business needs to be sustainable, and what you want your life to look like alongside it.
That's the approach behind all of my business education.
You'll learn practical business concepts, ask questions, talk through ideas, and figure out how they apply to your business.
Because knowing more about business is useful. Knowing what to do with that information in your business is where things start to move.
Business Planning Course
October 6 – November 24 2026 | Live Education + Weekly Group Coaching / FULLY BOOKED
Starting a business comes with a lot of questions.
Who are your customers? How do you know if people actually want what you're offering? What should you charge? How will you reach people? Will the numbers actually work?
The Business Planning Course gives early-stage entrepreneurs a place to work through those questions while building a stronger understanding of the business they're creating.
Together, we'll explore business planning, customer research, marketing, pricing, financial planning, and sustainable growth through practical activities, discussion, and real-world examples.
The goal isn't simply to complete a business plan. It's to understand your business well enough to make informed decisions as you build it.
The Business Planning Guidebook
I originally created The Business Planning Guidebook for this course because entrepreneurs don't need another business plan template. They need practical business education, thoughtful conversation, and the confidence to make informed decisions.
The guidebook continues to evolve alongside my teaching and coaching. Every cohort adds new questions, examples, activities, and ways of thinking about entrepreneurship.
Who it's for: Early-stage entrepreneurs (Start Up & Operational Phases)
Next cohort: Tuesdays, October 6 – November 24, 2026
Time: 6:00pm – 7:30pm EST
Length: 8 Classes + Weekly Group Coaching
Format: Live interactive education + The Business Planning Guidebook
Why this approach?
Conversation over content
Sometimes the thing that helps most isn't more information. It's having a place to ask the question, talk through the idea, and figure out what makes sense for your business.
Learn with others
Business looks different for everyone. Learn from other entrepreneurs' questions, experiences, experiments, and perspectives — including the ones you wouldn't have thought to ask about yourself.
Practical education
Learn business concepts when they're useful, then apply them to what's actually happening in your business so you can make clearer decisions and figure out what to try next.
SC+ Business Lab
October 15 – December 3 2026 | Bi-weekly Classes Group | Business Coaching / FULLY BOOKED
Once your business is up and running, the questions tend to change.
You might be trying to figure out what to focus on next. Something isn't working the way you expected. You have an opportunity you're considering, a decision you keep going back and forth on, or an idea you're not quite sure what to do with yet.
SC+ Business Lab is a place to bring those questions.
Rather than following a predetermined curriculum, each session is shaped around what's actually happening in the businesses in the room.
We'll talk through decisions, explore ideas, look at what's working (and what isn't), and use practical business concepts and different perspectives to help you figure out what makes sense to try next.
You'll also learn from the other businesses in the room. Sometimes someone else's question gives you a completely different way of looking at your own business — or brings up something you hadn't thought to ask yet.
The goal isn't to leave with more things to do. It's to leave with a clearer understanding of what deserves your attention and what you're going to do next.
Who it's for: Small Business Owners - Operational Phase only
When: October 15 – December 3 2026
Format: Four 90-minute live SC+ Business Lab sessions + 2 Private Coaching Sessions
2026 Cohort: FULLY BOOKED
Youth Business Workshops
June to August 2026 | Workshops + Coaching | FULLY BOOKED
Running a business is one of the best ways to learn how business actually works.
For young entrepreneurs, I design and facilitate a series of interactive business workshops for youth who have received Summer Company grants in Ontario.
The workshops are built around what participants are actually navigating as they run their businesses. We work through business planning, marketing, branding, pricing, sales, customer experience, money, and plenty of real-world problem solving.
Participants also receive individual coaching throughout the summer, giving us a chance to talk through what's happening in their businesses, work through questions and challenges, and figure out what makes sense to try next.
Who it's for: 2026 Summer Company grant recipients — FULLY BOOKED
When: June – August 2026
Format: Interactive business workshops + individual coaching
Business Programming for Your Centre
Looking for practical business programming for the entrepreneurs you support?
I work with business centres and economic development organizations to create and facilitate business education for entrepreneurs at different stages of business.
That might mean bringing in an existing program, creating a series of workshops around a specific need, facilitating a business group, or developing something new for the entrepreneurs you're working with.
Programs can include a mix of practical business education, facilitated conversation, hands-on activities, and coaching — depending on what makes sense for the group.
Topics can include business planning, customer research, marketing and sales, pricing, financial sustainability, decision-making, sustainable growth, neurodivergence and entrepreneurship, and more.
If you're planning upcoming entrepreneurship programming and think my approach could be a fit, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
