Creating and Making 2018 Your Best Year Yet!

16 January 2018

We were SOLD OUT for the first event of 2018! What a fab evening, with lots of new faces – here’s the pre-event info and your feedback from the event:

Kicking off our Aspiring Women year in magnificent style, Marie Smith will lead us through an evening of (amongst other things) creating our personal Vision Board for 2018.

Are there questions flicking through your mind such as:

Am I curious to explore this? What could this possibly entail?  Is this for me?

Whether you either plan your life in detail or weave your way through life taking opportunities as they crop up, then this event is equally for you.

If you have created a Vision board before or you have never done one (or not even heard of one!) then come along and join in the fun –  there will be something for everyone to explore, learn and develop.

On the evening of 16 Jan Marie will lead you through practical exercises to explore and visualise your conscious and unconscious intentions for 2018 and beyond.  The outputs will be visual and you will have a personal take away on the evening that will either consciously or subconsciously guide you through decision making and creating the year/life you want.

This is a fabulous opportunity to give ourselves space and time to get our minds focussed on what we want to achieve in the year ahead.  For those who came to our session last year, it will create some time to reflect on how the Vision Boards have manifested themselves and shaped our previous year.  You can build on this going forwards or creating a new vision for yourself

This event is one of the most popular we offer (there are some charging huge sums for this sort of workshop now!), so book early to make sure you get a space!  Why not bring a friend, partner or team members to create a shared intention and vision for your future?

Responding With Style and Flair – How to Answer ANY Question!

18 July 2017

Lex McKee – the original ‘entertrainer’ – gave us a masterclass in how to never be stuck for words, using techniques shown to celebrities and politicians the world over.

Before the event, Lex told us:

Being put on the spot and feeling awkward is not high on many people’s list of favourite situations. But what if you could get to the point where you had the confidence to answer any challenge – and I do mean ‘any’ challenge? Using the techniques used by politicians, broadcasters, and celebrities the world over, we’re going to share how to think quickly on-the-spot so that you can express your viewpoint clearly, concisely, and convincingly without fear of embarrassment! In fact, I’m confident that you’ll actually look forward to the next time when you’ll be put on the spot!

Lex McKee

If you want to learn anything faster, Lex is an interesting chap to talk to, having taught applications of Accelerated Learning since 1985. Whilst secretly chuffed that his book, “The Accelerated Trainer,” was published by Gower, he’s actually more excited by the fact that he can teach you to touch type in two hours, using chocolate as part of the technique. From Speed Reading to Mind Mapping, Leadership to Quick Thinking On-The-Spot, Lex’s infectious humour and love for learning with others has taken him all around the World. The truth, though, is he’d rather be nowhere else than sharing with like-minded entrepreneurial thinkers in Dorset! Author, Producer, Photographer, Poet, and Presenter – creativity is what makes his day.

Date:                           Tuesday 18 July, 6.30-8.30pm

Venue:                         Room EB202, Executive Business Centre, Bournemouth University, 89 Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth BH8 8EB

Introduction to NLP

An Introduction to Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) with Ginette

Ever wonder why you sometimes have a ‘sixth sense’ about what’s going to happen, just before it does? Or how that nagging inner-voice knows just what to say to make you stop believing in yourself?
With an Introduction to NLP, Ginette took us through an evening of understanding what NLP is all about and how it can help us not only understand how our brains process information and make split-second decisions, but also what we can do to re-align our thoughts for heart and mind synergy, positivity and happiness!
