What Transformation do these courses deliver?

These courses deliver a transformation in the way that small business owners and managers think about and manage the cyber risk in their business. Their transformation is from worrying about a potentially catastrophic risk that may currently be unmanaged to having the confidence that the business has an effective framework, mindset, strategy and tactical plan in place to manage cyber risk.

About the Courses

The first course that I launched in 2021 was a 5-week live Coaching Course that helped small business owners create their Pathway to Peace of Mind from Cyber risk. The Coaching Course has since been expanded to 6 weeks and is  offered three times a year. It is delivered live on Zoom to small groups of business owners and managers as an interactive online experience that delivers strong results to participants.

I wanted a way to communicate what I had learned to a wider audience of owners and managers of small businesses as I believed the approach would work for them. I decided that video based self-study on-demand online courses were the best way to deliver what I know and what I have learned. 

I have now launched two such courses: The Pathway Course and the Jumpstart Course. These courses help the owners and managers of small knowledge-based businesses,  who are concerned about cyber risk and want to be empowered to manage it, begin their journey to cyber resilience.

IT skills are not required for the courses as the focus is on managing cyber as a business risk,  not just an IT issue. Brief details of the courses are below.

Suitable for the owners of small knowledge-based businesses of many types, including:
  • Accountants
  • Lawyers/Solicitors
  • Architects
  • Engineers
  • Surveyors
  • Insurance Brokers
  • Other Financial Advisors
  • Medical Professionals
  • Real Estate Professionals
  • Construction Professionals
  • Digital Marketing companies
  • SaaS providers
  • IT Services providers
  • Marketing Professionals
  • Digital first businesses
  • ...and many more knowledge-based businesses.

Which course should I take?

If you want a short course that will jumpstart your efforts with cyber risk in a short period of time, where the focus is on Technology risk, and you are prepared to work through the material at your own pace, the Jumpstart course is right for you.

If you want a course with an extensive curriculum that will help you create your Pathway to Peace of Mind from cyber risk, where the focus is on Technology risk, People risk and Governance risk and you are prepared to make their own way through the course material at your own pace, the Pathway course will meet your needs.

If you want a live small group coaching course that offers an engaging online experience over 6 weeks, an extensive curriculum and  significant one-to-one engagement with the course instructor, including a final session to review your plan, the Coaching Course will be your best option.
