Rachael Howourth: "being an Enterprise Nation adviser has allowed me to grow my audience and community"

I am a Chartered Accountant, having earned a respected reputation in the field of accounting, with more than 15 years of experience in working with small and medium-sized enterprises. Having worked with business owners ranging from one-man start-ups to large companies requiring a different level of services, I have developed a passion for the profession and I am driven by the success of my clients. I have spent many years in business working at boardroom level, holding various positions before being motivated to start my own practice, Makesworth Accountants, where I have blended my technical skills in accounting and tax with my business skills derived from my time in the industry. I have embraced the changing times and technologies and strongly agree that accountants are moving from being number crunchers to being reliable and trusted advisors. Throughout this process, Makesworth has been able to secure various affiliations and awards.
My objective is to add value to my clients’ businesses through the application of my extensive experience and knowledge in accounting, tax, HMRC investigations, business start-ups, and much more.

I founded Cerebration to support organisations &amp; business leaders who want to unleash the full potential of their employees but are facing some challenges. Typically, these are things like:
- They struggle to maintain high achieving teams. Generally, they find high performing individuals are impossible to retain &amp; as a result, they are spending a fortune on recruiting in order to fill the gaps.
- They are frustrated that they can&apos;t leverage the individual attributes and talent in their teams. Instead, the organisation suffers from a deficit of essential knowledge, skills or attitudes.
- Their organisation is missing out on talent. They know that inclusive and psychologically safe environments produce more innovative, agile and accomplished teams but they are unsure how to utilise the authentic lived experiences of their diverse workforce to gain a competitive advantage. Cerebration provides learning solutions that help organisations to develop leadership, manage change, unlock potential, breakthrough silos and empower teams to self-generate solutions to problems through individualised learning solutions. Our social enterprise is dedicated to providing equitable learning opportunities. We reinvest the gains from our corporate clients into our work with schools, charities, community organisations &amp; underserved communities. My experience and qualifications include: - CIPD Accredited Trainer, Facilitator &amp; Learning Designer - Herrmann Accredited Whole Brain® Thinking Practitioner - MHFA Accredited Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructor - AMPG Accredited Change Manager - QCF Accredited Educator &amp; Youth Worker - MHFA Accredited Mental Health First Aider - Highly-Skilled Virtual Learning Developer - Climbed From The Apprenticeship Level To Management Level At - The UK&apos;s Largest Youth Charity. - Managed The Global Talent Development Function For The Second Largest Global Philanthropy. - Prince&apos;s Trust Volunteer Mentor For Disadvantaged Young People

Cerebration works with organisations & businesses leaders who want to unleash the potential of their employees.

The purpose of this informal 30-minute meeting is to talk about your organisation learning & training requirements. I&apos;d like to understand how a enterprise like ours is able to help an organisation like yours.

For this meeting please outline anything that you would like to discuss. Initially, all I would like is permission to ask questions in order to better understand your orga

</ul>
I work with passionate and ambitious business owners and founders, helping them transform into exemplary leaders of engaged, profitable and mission-driven companies.

Over the last 30+ years, I have had had the immense good fortune to have worked with an awful lot of businesses across the world - from pre-start solopreneurs to $MM multi-national corporations.  And not just private companies, but public sector bodies, NGOs, and third sector organisations too. &nbsp;

I&apos;ve learned so much from each and every organisation that I&apos;ve been privileged to work with, as their leaders shared with me what was working - and what wasn&apos;t.&nbsp;

Together we explored things like...
<ul>
<li>Their marketplace: key competitors, clients, and where they fitted within the value chain</li>
<li>How their teams were performing (or not). &nbsp;</li>
<li>Their relationships with their customers and suppliers.&nbsp;</li>
<li>How they created the products and services that they had built their business on.&nbsp;</li>
<li>How they got their product or service to market.&nbsp;</li>
<li>What as yet unseen opportunities were just waiting to be exploited.</li>
<li>What made them tick as individuals, and why they became entrepreneurs in the first place.&nbsp;</li>
<li>What drove their passion for innovation and excellence.</li>
</ul>
They helped transform my understanding and experience of how both good and great leaders behave. They gave me so many insights into how they had built amazing businesses with engaged employees, delighted clients, and super-profitable bottom lines - and I was honoured that they trusted me to be able to help them improve what they were doing.

It is now my privilege (and my calling) to use this perspective, together with all the knowledge, tools and experiences I&apos;ve picked up along the way, to empower and support my mentoring clients as they undertake their own transformation into awesome leaders.

I know that every leader is capable of greatness - even when they feel in the depths of despair and caught up in the raging whirlwind of running their business. &nbsp;

But it&apos;s really hard to unleash your leadership superpowers all by yourself.  You need access to a helping hand, a creative and willing brain, and a safe pair of ears belonging to someone who&apos;s walked in your shoes, and has the scars to show for it.

Let me be that person for you.

I&apos;ll be your biggest cheerleader, but I&apos;ll also challenge you to do better. Achieve more. Reach for your dreams. Because I know that transformation never comes from a place of comfort.&nbsp;

I&apos;m not cheap - I am reassuringly expensive - but working with me will be perhaps the best investment you&apos;ll ever make in your business.&nbsp;

My clients don&apos;t call me The Leader Whisperer™ for nothing...
