Charitable foundation set up in memory of Liverpool business ‘legend’ John Haynes offers free life skills workshops to the city region’s business community. Tony McDonough reports
Free life skills workshops are being made available to Liverpool city region’s business community by the John Haynes Foundation.
Led by the foundation’s skilled coaches, the workshops are designed to “inspire, educate, and equip participants with essential tools to thrive in personal and professional environments”. They are aimed at business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals.
The John Haynes Foundation is named after John Haynes, something of a legend in the local business world. He set up the Liverpool Coaching Academy which inspired a generation of entrepreneurs in Merseyside and farther afield.
John died in December 2020 and in 2021 a number of Liverpool city region business people decided to set up the John Haynes Foundation with the aim of continuing his work and “transforming 1m lives”.
Among its achievements so far is a project in partnership with the City of Liverpool College and Wirral Metropolitan College to deliver its Accelerated Learning (AL) programme to more than 600 apprentices.
These new workshops encompass a variety of topics designed to improve personal effectiveness and interpersonal relations. Sessions focus on areas such as effective communication, resilience and stress management, leadership development, time management and problem-solving.

The foundation said: “The Liverpool city region business community is diverse and dynamic yet often faced with challenges that demand adaptability and innovation.
“The free workshops provide an invaluable platform to strengthen personal growth and confidence, boost your organisational impact by improving teamwork and leadership skills, network with like-minded professionals from various industries and access expert coaching without financial investment.”
Workshops will take place across four half-day sessions in June, July and August. For more information and to book click here.
