SVANEKE CHOCOLATE involved in Restart Business at Street Level

FRESH EYES ON OUR BUSINESS HAVE LIT A SPARK IN US

It was particularly the networking part and the fact that all participants are shop owners that made Svaneke Chokoladeri take part in Restart Business at Street Level (GEIG). Svaneke Chokoladeri often has many irons in the fire, and the easiest thing would be to say that we do not have time to prioritise this in a busy everyday life. Even so, co-owner Janne Lundberg made time to stop and think that if she is to keep running at this pace, she will need fresh eyes and new tools for management and personal development to ensure that she can sustain it in the long run.

Through GEIG, Janne Lundberg has participated in many of the programme's workshops and expanded her network with other shop owners on Bornholm. This has provided inspiration for new routines in the shops, but a tailored course in particular on management and personal development has ignited a spark in Janne Lundberg.

”I've had my management toolkit expanded, and I've become far better at delegating and passing on responsibility. It's a win-win for everyone at Svaneke Chokoladeri, as it enables us to grow with the tasks. I can relax more in my mind, and my talented employees appreciate me showing them trust. Thus, the tools help to develop me personally as well as a manager. I have become much better at prioritising my time and showing greater trust in my employees and partner.
