Business 201: Sticking Points Virtual Workshop

You’ve done the work to get your business off the ground. So why does growth still feel just out of reach?

In this session, seasoned business consultant and executive coach Josué Figueroa, with JP Morgan Chase’s Coach for Impact program, helps small business owners identify and work through the sticking points that keep them at a growth plateau. With over 30 years of experience across nonprofits, government, and financial institutions, Josué brings a grounded, community-centered perspective to the real challenges creative entrepreneurs face as they try to scale and sustain their work.

This session will help you:

• Pinpoint the financial, operational, or leadership gaps that may be limiting your growth
• Build confidence around financial literacy and making informed decisions for your business
• Develop a clearer strategy for accessing capital and the resources available to you
• Strengthen your leadership skills so you can show up more effectively for your business and your community

By the end of this session, you’ll leave with a sharper understanding of where your business needs attention and concrete next steps to move forward with confidence.
