NECA Business Essentials Program
We are now offering this course both online and in-person!
Owning and running your own business provides opportunities that are exciting, challenging, exhausting, invigorating, and rewarding. It is continual learning that is key to growing a successful business.
How can you accelerate the pace of your learning – to then be more alert to the opportunities that will place you ahead of the game?
At NECA, we know hard work and personal sacrifice are not enough to make a business successful. That's why we have collaborated with Engine Room Business Innovation to develop the NECA Business Essentials Program - a 5 month coaching and training program facilitated by the developers of the highly esteemed Curtin Growth Program.
This innovative program integrates 5 half-day, interactive workshops and coaching sessions, online learning and the development of a Business Improvement Plan that combine to accelerate the profitability, performance and sustainability of participating businesses. These can take place either in-person, or online from the comfort of your own home.
In-Person – commencing 4th May 2022
For 5 consecutive months, attend a half-day interactive workshop followed by a two hour coaching session.
• Enrolling in the in-person program means scheduled time away from day-to-day business problems, to focus on the bigger picture. Participants will return, after a full-day out of the business, with the knowledge and confidence to implement new initiatives into their business that will drive success.
This format is suitable for Perth based members that enjoy being in a classroom environment.
NECA Business Essentials Program (In-Person) – commencing 4th May 2022
Virtual – commencing 5th May 2022
For 20 consecutive weeks, attend a 1.5 hour session online.
• Enrolling in the online program means establishing a weekly routine (drum beat) whereby you to pause and step out of the daily operations to focus on the bigger picture. Participants obtain weekly stimulation in short sessions that develops their knowledge to implement new ideas into the business.
This format is suitable for members based anywhere in the world who enjoy short sessions from the comfort of their own office or home.
NECA Business Essentials Program (Online) – commencing 5th May 2022
Both program formats include online learning (videos, articles, tools etc) via a Learning Management System and the development of a Business Improvement Plan for Business Owners (Business Improvement Project for Managers) that combine to accelerate the profitability, performance and sustainability of participating businesses.
• Access to a Learning Management System for pre-program resources and pre and post session/workshop material. The resources prime you to learn more intensely in the sessions and complements and supplements the material covered. The LMS is available for a further 3 months following the end of the program.
• Undertake five 1:1 coaching sessions to reflect on the topic key learnings and to progress a Business Improvement Project (BIP).
Rather than 100% of participants' time being spent on current operational issues, the BIP will motivate you to step back from the business, and spend 20% of your time on a project that will move your business to the ‘next level’. Completion of the BIP alone should provide benefits that well exceed the cost of the program.
The program provides you with the skillset and confidence to exploit opportunities, embrace change and adapt quickly to the challenges of running your own business in today’s uncertain business environment.

Participants will gain great insights to business leadership from coaches Glenn Taylor and Michelle Chafin. Together, they have over 40 years experience in workshop facilitation to over 1,500 business owners and managers, and over 20 years of business coaching across hundreds of businesses across a wide gamut of industries.
