Welcome to October’s Updates
Hello Everyone!!
It’s October Updates time, which means the countdown is on! Halloween is over, Bonfire Night is in a few days and people already posting asking when to put the tree up!
So with this in mind I’ll start by sharing the FIRE Package that I have just launched. Ideal right now when there’s a risk that we will take our eye off the ball with the festivities taking over!
I wont regurgitate what’s in my flyer, you can take a read yourself!
You can jump straight in by paying using the QR codes or please do give me a shout if you’d like a virtual brew to explore further!
Can’t wait to get started!
THE BIG PNE SLEEP OUT IS BACK!
When I slept at pitchside at Deepdale at couple of years ago, I wasn’t sure I’d do it again…
It a stark experience of the reality of being homeless during the cold, unforgiving winter months… took a lot out of me, even for 1 night!
When I saw that it is back on the 27th March next year, I was in straight away! The awareness raising in sharing the experience of just 1 night helped raise £36,853 to support one of my fave chairities, Foxton!
This time the focus will be on women who experience homelessness and the proceeds will be shared between PNE Commuity and Education Trust and Foxton projects supporting women in Preston!
I have set up a Team JustGiving page so that others can join me; we can fundraise together. That page is in the link below. Please let me know if you’d like to join us. My biz bud, Rebecca Ansell, of Rebecca Ansell Business Services hasn’t hesitated. She’s in!
NEW WAYS NOVEMBER ✨✨
If you follow me on the socials, you will aleady know that I am a huge fan of Action for Happiness and their monthly calendars! ️
So I’m sharing New Ways November’s first action, ‘make a list of new things you want to do this month’!
I’d invite you to do this through a Strengths lens. Think about:
What can you do that will really energise you?
What have you done that’s similar in the past?
What can you bring from these past successes into these new things?
How satifying it feels afterwards when you do things well!
YOU CAN DO IT! Be brave, post on your own socials! Encourage others to join in!
I’ve included a link to the Action for Happiness website where you can find out more about the great resources they share for FREE!!
EDUCATING YORKSHIRE CAME BACK INTO MY LIFE!!
I love Educating Yorkshire as much as I love Yorkshire tea! A lot!
And some of the quotes are so profound. Really hit the mark!
“That’s the key. Making them believe that they belong. Because they do.”
Boom!
There are no conditions to belonging for Mr Burton. It’s not that you have to stick to x, y, z. He demonstrates unconditional positive regard for his pupils. Doesn’t turn his back on them. His team follows his lead. Even demonstrating compassion and warmth when escorting a young person from the premises, following a serious incident!
Belonging is so important. Not just in schools, in life, in families, in our workplace. It allows us to be safe enough to make mistake, learn from them and recover.
In the summer as part of my NLP Master Practitioner certification, I did a project ‘what makes a great team’ and belonging was top of the list. Not skills, qualifications, goals. Belonging!
Give me a shout if you have a Team and would like to explore this with one of my workshops!
THAT’S IT FROM ME!!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this month’s round up!
Can’t believe I’m saying enjoy the Christmas prep! It’s inevitable isn’t?!
