I have been thinking a lot whilst preparing for my TED talk about the impact children's activities providers are making on the children they work with, their families and the wider community.  So in today's episode I want to encourage you to do the same and start to understand the impact you are making.

I also want to encourage you to think about why you are running your activity business. My 'why' is so powerful for me in keeping going with my business and I know yours can have the same impact too.

How do you create strong partnerships with schools and nurseries? This is what activity providers are wanting to understand so that they can develop their business further.

To learn more about this hear me talk about:

• why enrichment activities are so important
• how do schools and nurseries choose providers
• what do successful providers do
• what does the decision making process look like
• how to build trust and personal connections

The important thing to remember is that the goal is to create long term partnerships. I hope that by hearing some examples of other activity providers this will show you that long term opportunities are available for you.
