Are you a smart, passionate and compassionate entrepreneur?
Do you wish you could grow your business like a pro, even though you may not feel like you have what it takes?
Are you afraid that you'll fail or you won't know how to navigate the awkward parts of entrepreneurship?
Are you tired of learning everything about business or entrepreneurship without getting results?
Or maybe you feel stuck in your business, overwhelmed, and are not sure how to move forward?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, I hear you. We would love to help. My name is Tawanda Chirenda. I used to think passion was enough to build a great business, go through life as an entrepreneur, and succeed with your customers. I was wrong, very wrong. I discovered the hard way that you need strategy. I discovered you need to learn how to lead yourself first before you can lead anyone else.
I am now a Willing Student and I am on a mission to teach others what I have learned and what I am still learning. I want to be your coach first and then show you how to become your own best coach and make the impact you want to have with your business and your life.
Our workshops are for smart, passionate and compassionate entrepreneurs who want more in life and from their businesses. We are on a mission to change the way you build your business. If you want to feel more purposeful, effective, and passionate in your business and in your life than you’ve ever been before, join us.
We created these workshops to empower visionary, smart and caring entrepreneurs like you with the authentic entrepreneurial tools and mindset you need to become who you want to be. We are on a mission because we know what’s at stake. We want to help you discover, develop and master your authentic voice so you can build, lead and inspire your best customers.
These workshops are not for everyone. But are perfect for entrepreneurs ready to become willing students and try something different. Our workshops have been designed to give you an engaging experience that fast-tracks the achievement of your business goals while elevating your impact and influence in the global marketplace.

Workshops Overview
Audit.
We start with a review of your goals. It’s the clarity of your goals that determine the contribution you will make with your business.
Leverage.
Learn how to use your voice to lead winning conversations and influence your customers in powerful ways. It starts with unlocking the power of your authentic brand voice.
Experience.
Turn your business into a great experience into real results. Getting the most out of your business is about creating opportunities to share your values and your voice.
Accelerate.
Develop, optimize and innovate your growth strategy. Strategy is how you create long-term value for your business and your customers.
Advantage.
It’s much harder to build a great business, grow your influence, and become who you want to be without people around you who share the same feelings, attitudes, interests, goals, or love. You need a great team in business.
Enterprise.
Grow your social impact as an entrepreneur and build a high-performing community around your business, without struggling to do it. We believe growing your social impact is more than just starting or running a charitable foundation, creating a social enterprise, or giving back to the community. It’s about authentic engagement.
