Wendy Parvin trading as Conversations With Purpose

I am an independent consultant, working with this central idea of developing ‘conversations with purpose’. I design and deliver entrepreneurship training and development programmes – within higher education, the third sector, and the commercial business arena.

I have a successful track record at home and abroad, representing UK best practice in Europe, the Middle East, and SE Asia. I facilitate both individuals and teams to create ventures that inspire them, creating them a sustainable income, and ultimately, making a positive impact within their community. My approach is practical and pragmatic, requiring clients to engage in a creative process both as practitioners and entrepreneurs.

Clients are supported to innovate within their product/service development – to identify, capture, and implement market opportunities. Underpinning my work is the intention to empower people, to be proactive in co-creating enterprising opportunities.

Other business interests

I am also a founding director of a new venture – Global Exchange for Women’s Enterprise Ltd, (G-EWE). Our vision is for all women around the world who are motivated to set up and grow a business to receive the encouragement and support they need to make their enterprise successful, and for their achievements to be celebrated to inspire other women to follow in their footsteps. To ensure this vision is achieved, G-EWE will provide a rich source of knowledge, best practice and resources, wholly rooted in the experiences and evolving needs of business women, to the people and organisations across the world who are engaged in stimulating and supporting women to set up and grow businesses.
