Welcome to April’s Updates
Hello Everyone!!
My feet have not touched the ground in the best way during April so I am bringing you this update a little later than usual.
Hope you’ve had a great one!
As we’re now in May I thought I’d start by sharing this fabulous resource from Action for Happiness. Their Meaningful May calendar. Why not try them for yourself? You’ll need to zoom in to see them! Fantastic little prompts for us to use each day to make life that little bit happier!
Learning from the Young Uns!!
Last week I had the privilege of facilitating a Strengths Workshop with the girls group at Foxton Youth and Community, in partnership with Places for People.
I am so energised by working with young people. The potential to impact their personal development and how they can truly shine!!
There was mum dancing, cake and lots of fun!
We did an exercise thinking about where we get our energy from 4 quadrants of Emotional, Relational, Thinking and Execution Strengths. I drew visual representations to get us in the zone! I know my art skills could do with sharpening up!
I’d invite you to take the lead from the young uns and spend some time focusing on how energised you are by each quadrant. Raising your awareness to this, helps you to focus on how you are spending your time and where you might want to redirect some of your energies so that you are making the most of what you’ve got on offer!
I’d love to hear from you if you know of any young people’s groups that would be interested in me coming in. I’m so excited to be doing more of this work! Really does take me back to starting out in Social Work all those 23 years ago!
Bookings Now Open For Our Next Empowerment Masterclass
Don’t worry if you’ve missed out on this event previously, there’s time to get yourself booked on to the next event on 5th June at Stanley House Hotel and Spa.
You’ll get 4 expert masterclasses to help you to focus on you and how to get the best out of yourself!
Reserve your place for just £117. If you know the quality of the venue, you’ll realise, this is a steal! If you’re working in the third sector, secure your place for £97. Groups of 5 can join us for £97 each too, so why not get together with your pals and come along!
Shining a Spotlight On Colne Citadel!!
I visited last month, invited by their Manager Hayley Murphy to deliver a Strengths Coaching Session that she won in our Empowerment Masterclass raffle. What a beautiful community they have created!
To the left of this lovely court yard was a door leading into a bustling cafe. I was greeted with a right good brew in a Colne Citadel mug!
Whilst I was there bingo was on. There’s a random act of kindness noticeboard where people can pay on a drink or food for others. There was such a genuine community feel!!
We’ve chosen Colne Citadel to benefit from the proceeds of the raffle at our next Empowerment Masterclass Event. So if you join us you will be making a wonderful contribution to this amazing Charity. Or you could even be one of our Sponsors and pay £97 for someone in a local Charity to attend the day. If you know of a Charity, you can choose them!!
THAT’S IT FROM ME!!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this month’s round up!
