This is a great event and to be recommended.  It’s a chance to try out a reading or a healing and to go to some wonderful lectures and demos given by college teachers.  Food and drink is provided with lots of opportunity to meet a teacher to see if you would like to study with them.

Alternatively just meet up with your friends and enjoy the activities and a lovely social evening.  I am planning on going, so if you decide to go do let me know and we can meet-up, alison.wem@gmail.com read more

Are you a confident person?

Are you a confident person?

A lot of people ‘fake’ being confident but sometimes their language can give them away.  An interesting article by Bernard Marr highlighting the language of less confident people.  It has received a lot of interest.

Life Lessons: 3 key lessons to appreciate your team

Life Lessons: 3 key lessons to appreciate your team

Much has been said about Theresa May over the weekend by people more eloquent than myself.  My observation is that she is having to learn some hard life lessons in a very public manner about the value of working as a team.  No matter what your political views may be, Theresa needs our compassion as she learns these lessons.

In the middle of leading a large change programme, I was unexpectedly widowed and survived that period in my life through acts of kindness at work and at home. Over night my whole value base shifted to fully recognise the importance of people.  This was not just for my husband, who sadly I had lost, but also for the value the other people in my life brought. These are the values I believe we need for innovative, creative leadership to be successful. They are ones Theresa May is having to learn very publicly – the value of a team working together, the different individual contributions team members can make and learning to listen to people. read more

” in some circumstances, growth for growth’s sake doesn’t always lead to success, that some growth might actually destroy value. The key to value-added growth is having an innovative business culture — a culture of full engagement and involvement from your people.” read more
