Lea Woodward is an online entrepreneur. She co-founded Startup Training School, an online school designed to teach small business owners the skills they need to power their business online. In 2005, Lea left her well-paid management consulting job in London to set up her own business and in 2007, she became location independent and traveled the world, running her business from places such as Panama, Buenos Aires, Grenada, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey, Dubai, HK and more. Her projects have garnered global media attention, including features on the BBC, in The Guardian (UK), Cosmopolitan magazine (Sweden & Italy), China Trends magazine and more. She has been a guest speaker at Hult International Business School in Dubai and the American College of Management & Technogoly in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
What are the best resources, on or offline, for female founders to brush up on technical skills? (female respondents only)
As a co-founder, I'm obviously biased but having taught myself all of the technical skills needed to run multiple online businesses, the School has been designed to help ease this process for others. With a Skills Library of tutorials plus in-depth courses for the most common online tools, students have agreed that being taught by a woman is a refreshing change in this male-dominated arena!
