Breaking the mould

Breaking into a new industry, alone, isn’t easy.  When nobody knows who you are, how do you gain influence, recognition and knock out product sales in record time?

A new book by Emma May, Southampton Science Park’s Catalyst programme alumnus, taps into the heart, mind and soul of a fledgling creative start-up to uncover the truths about what drives a product and person into new-found success in a brand new industry.

• Explore how to go it alone and break the mould in your own way.

• Dive into working strategies that will help any solo creator become an efficient powerhouse; even when you cannot delegate your to-do list.
• Develop an understanding of how your emotions affect your progression and how to navigate them.
• Learn how to recognise constructive criticism and turn negative feedback into a useful resource.
• Have the tools to discover how you make yourself and your creativity stand out in any crowd.
