An incredible fact: Many Small and

Medium Enterprises are led by

someone with less training and

support to enable them to succeed in

their role than their most junior

member of staff – and are nervous to

admit they don’t know all the answers

When a large company appoints

someone as a Managing Director they

are usually provided with extensive

training on how to lead a business

successfully Usually an MBA or on a business school

MD2MD sets out to achieve

the same for its members

– with two key differences We learn one bite at a time –

one day each month More manageable - time and cost

A better way to learn Enables and encourages

continuous improvement We value the University of Life

experience as much as that

from expert practitioners and

speakers

“Could I benefit from a speaker each month that would provoke me with new thoughts and motivate me to do something about them?

Would I appreciate being able to sound out my thinking and fine tune my plans with a group of practical people with

real world experience,

confident that the advice I am getting has no vested interest?

“Many people think a day a month for

MD2MD is too much to invest.

My experience over 7 years as a member is

that it makes more time. You come back

refreshed, re-invigorated and more focussed.

Most of the best ideas you have this month

will be at the MD2MD day, and when back at

work, you will be energized and achieve

more.

That’s why I am still a member after 7 years.

I recommend you try one of the taster days,

or call me and ask about my experience.“
