Where? CoCoWo Coesfeld, Goxel 33b, 48653 Coesfeld, Germany
Speaker: Dr. Stefan Borchert
Do you want to set up a start-up or would you prefer to be the successor in an existing company? Both paths to self-employment are possible. But which is the right one for those interested in starting up? Dr. Stefan Borchert will address this question in this workshop, which is part of the joint project Gründergeist #Youngstarts Münsterland.
In the workshop, the speaker will compare the two start-up paths. Dr. Borchert goes into more detail about the different personalities and motives of people who want to start a business and classifies which ones speak more in favour of one path or the other. Participants will also learn about the advantages, challenges and special features of start-ups and company takeovers.

Workshop on 5 September in Münster
Speakers Lucienne Bangura-Nottbeck & Stefanie Fehr-Hoberg© Die TALK TALKs GbR

When? 5 September, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Where? Room B424 on the 4th floor of the Hüfferstiftung (Hüfferstr. 27, 48149 Münster)
Speakers: Lucienne Bangura-Nottbeck & Stefanie Fehr-Hoberg
In the workshop we will look at the aspects of trust and self-confidence in leadership together with the participants. As a woman full of CONFIDENCE through the day? Not always easy, because we often don't have a good view of our female competences. As soon as we communicate our strengths on the inside, we can share them on the outside full of #selfconfidence - in leadership and in business succession.
In the workshop, we make it visible with the participants that trust works in both directions and plays a role both INSIDE and OUTSIDE. What moments of trust could shape us as potential successors and what feelings could these moments of trust trigger in us? We will look at and answer these questions together in the workshop, collect input from all participants and make experiences, approaches and impulses visible. We will look at the form, attitude or ability in which we encounter the topic of TRUST in our daily leadership communication - in exchange, in conversation, in the team.
We will interactively make the conclusion: "Mistrust is not an option" visible with the participants.
Participation is free of charge.

Conflicts are familiar to us from many different contexts in life. Conflicts can also arise in the context of a business succession, e.g. due to different points of view, expectations or lack of information. To prevent these from tying up time, money and "nerves" unnecessarily, it is helpful to use a proven procedure to find solutions quickly and amicably. Used preventively by all parties involved, it helps to promote mutual understanding and understanding of each other and thus avoid conflicts.
Marianne Koschany-Rohbeck is a senior consultant at gfw in the district of Warendorf, responsible for start-ups and business succession, and a freelance mediator. With her experience as a Master of Mediation, business graduate and authorised business consultant of the Offensive Mittelstand, she explains how conflict talks can be conducted amicably, stress-free and with a good outcome for all parties involved in eight steps.
Participation is free of charge.

Anyone who wants to start a business or become self-employed faces many questions. One of the most important is financing. Where do I get the money to make the transition to independence? How much equity capital is available? What subsidies are actually available? From the moment they start their business, founders should be prepared for every eventuality. All these questions will be answered in the workshop. The workshop will be held both in person and online.

At this event, start-ups can gain initial seed capital in the form of valuable know-how: The wfc Wirtschaftsförderung Kreis Coesfeld GmbH, together with its cooperation partners from gwc - Gründung und Wachstum im Kreis Coesfeld - invites you to the information event at Lüdinghausen Castle. Here, the experts will answer the essential questions that arise in the run-up to self-employment and on the first leg of the journey into the market.
For example, they will explain what role the business plan plays for a successful start-up, what funding options are available in the various start-up phases, what social security options are open to the self-employed and how expensive tax can become.

A well-structured and well thought-out business plan is not only the basis for financing discussions with banks, investors or other financiers, but also a helpful planning and final decision-making tool for or against self-employment. A viable business plan that promises a sustainable profit is therefore also the prerequisite for a successful start and success with the start-up project.
Marianne Koschany-Rohbeck, start-up advisor at gfw, explains what functions a business plan fulfils, what components it comprises, how it is drawn up and provides information on the background and pitfalls when drawing up the plan. The event takes place online via Zoom.

When a company is handed over to a successor, both sides usually prepare intensively and regulate the handover process. One generation leaves, the next comes.
But few think about preparing the company itself for the succession. However, this is a decisive factor for success. For over many years a balance has developed between the company and the managing partners. Now other people are stepping into these roles and a new balance must be found.
In the workshop "Generation Z replaces Baby Boomers - What this does to the company", expert Hilmar Welpelo explains how this can be done in the best possible way. Because when the baby boomers leave and the next generation starts, there will undoubtedly be changes in the management of the company and thus also in the organisation as a whole. And that needs to be prepared just as much as the handover process between those handing over and those taking over.
