Running a business often feels like juggling countless priorities — strategy, operations, people, and growth. It’s easy to get stuck in the day-to-day without carving out space to reflect, reset, and realign. That’s where Traktion’s Business Workshops in Gisborne come in.

Our workshops are designed to help business leaders step out of the whirlwind, tackle the toughest challenges, and leave with clear, practical solutions that accelerate growth.

Why Join a Traktion Business Workshop?

Running a business can be overwhelming, and many owners face the same frustrations:

  • Unclear direction – You’re working hard, but it’s not always clear where the business is heading or what’s driving results.
  • Decision overload – With so many moving parts, it’s exhausting to know what to prioritise next.
  • Confusion over tax & numbers – From surprise tax bills to financial reports that don’t make sense, it’s easy to feel lost in the numbers.
  • Lack of structure – You’re confident in your product or service, but without the right systems, tools, or understanding of compliance, growth can feel out of reach.

Our practical, interactive workshops cut through the noise — giving you clarity, simple frameworks, and the confidence to focus on what really matters. The result? Running your business with less stress and more control.
