It takes 2.5 minutes for a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser to work its magic.

Precious time to stop, think and ponder my 2022 Blueprint for Success Virtual Board Marie.

Where and when do you get #creative in the middle of the day?

The professional equivalent of being ‘out out’ for me today! A whole day F2F workshop.

Thank you @ArenaCentres for having me back - always a pleasure to work with your team looking at Excellent #CustomerService.

Your #Southampton centre looks beautiful 🙌

Happy autumnal weekend all!

Thanks to @chewtonglen for their hospitality this week at our fantastic Bizpedia event.

I escaped a photo of me with a mud spattered face from one activity 😊. I was glad of the stylish bright orange overalls!

“I didn’t tell my team I was on the #training, when they found out 1 person especially said they could really see the difference in how I managed them”

Feedback from a recent participant on our #leadership & #management skills programme.

They engaged them through these 3 words

⏳ Want to gain back time?

Caught up with one of our #Leadership Essentials #training participants last week who was very happy to have only worked 2-3 hours of their 2 Wk hols, rather than 20-30 hrs in the past.

Target - zero, but what a great improvement 🏆

To describe Empathy to line managers, I draw a big hole in the ground with a line report/ colleague at the bottom, having become ‘buried’ in their problem or feelings.

To help, managers need to view the world through that person’s eyes WITHOUT falling in the pit with them.

Whilst this beautiful rose blooms, I breathe in it’s gorgeous scent at least twice daily

to remind myself that life can be nowhere near as complex as we sometimes perceive it to be.

In this next stage of pandemic recovery how will you keep, #balance & #perspective?

[alison craig @ACraigCoaching]

A change is as good as a rest!

Uplifting day:

👍🏻 discussing exciting & interesting plans with great new client in Poole

👍🏻 delicious lunch with lovely contact - finally an opportunity to meet F2F & have cake!

30 min stroll by the sea ☀️ felt like a holiday #Inspiration
