If your LinkedIn presence isn’t bringing in leads, conversations, or opportunities — this session will change that.

Beginner’s Guide to Selling on TikTok Shop
Date: Wednesday, 3rd June 2026
Time: 10am to 1pm
Price: £79 +VAT members / £99 +VAT non-members
Venue: Online
Learn how to turn your existing products or new complementary ideas into sales on TikTok Shop, using setup strategies and practical content.
Looking to add a new income stream or get more from the products you already sell? TikTok Shop offers a powerful way to bring your products to life through content, helping you reach new audiences and drive sales in a more engaging way.
In this session with DigiEnable, we’ll focus on how to make the most of what you already have, whether that’s physical products, services, or ideas that naturally complement your existing business. We’ll help you spot opportunities to extend your offer in a way that feels aligned, rather than starting from scratch.
You’ll learn how to sense-check and validate product ideas early, so you’re focusing on what your audience actually wants. We’ll also explore what makes a strong TikTok Shop, from choosing the right products to positioning them in a way that grabs attention and builds trust.
A key part of the session will be how to connect your products to your content. We’ll walk through how TikTok videos and live streams drive visibility and sales, and how to link products in a way that feels natural rather than forced.
By the end of the session, you’ll have clarity on what you could sell, how to position it, and how to start generating sales through TikTok Shop in a way that fits your business.
Crisis-Proof Your Communications: Mastering Email, Messaging & Scheduling
Date: Wednesday, 10th June 2026
Time: 10am to 1pm
Price: £65 +VAT members / £85 +VAT non members

When pressure is high, the first thing that often spirals is communication. Inboxes fill up, messages pile on, and calendars become a constant source of stress. This session is about creating calm, even when things feel chaotic.
Inspired by the Zenforinbox approach, this focused workshop shows you how to streamline your inbox, manage messages with clarity, and take back control of your calendar so you stay responsive without burning out. We’ll focus on simple habits and smart systems that reduce noise and protect your time.
In this session with DigiEnable, you’ll learn how to set up a calmer inbox using clear folders, rules and routines, create boundaries around when and how you respond, and design a scheduling system that supports focus rather than constant interruption.
We’ll also explore how to handle communication across email, messaging apps and calendars in a way that feels intentional, not reactive.
You’ll leave with:

Due to our first tour selling out we’re going back to Cumbria Waste Group on Tuesday 2nd June from 10.30am to 12noon for our next site tour.
The tour of the Hespin Wood facility is designed to give visitors a practical demonstration of how modern waste management operations function. It will cover the journey of waste through the site, key processing activities, and how Cumbria Waste Group ensure compliance with environmental legislation while maximising resource recovery and minimising environmental impact. This tour helps people understand where the waste originates from and how it is handles when it reaches Cumbria Waste Group. A way in which this tour does this is by giving visitors an up-close look at the multi-million-pound invested MRF facility, designed to separate recyclables into their separate, unique commodities.
Price: £25 +VAT (This is a charge applied by Cumbria Business Growth Hub, not Cumbria Waste Group with income reinvested into business support delivery)
Venue: Hespin Wood Waste Management Park, Carlisle, CA6 4BJ
If you don't have your own PPE, Cumbria Waste Management will provide boots, hats and high viz, we would just need your shoe size in advance of the tour.
