Course Overview:
Disagreements, differences of opinion and conflicting perspectives on key issues inevitably arise in any context where people are working together.
Research has shown that workplace conflicts can become highly destructive. Negative emotions may be stirred up, poisoning team morale, creating stress and destroying relationships.
Conflict may emerge between managers and their staff, between team members or departments.
Conflict may be expressed openly, but it may also be hidden, in the form of irritation, resentment, loss of morale and lack of commitment. Hidden conflict is easy to miss and therefore can be particularly damaging.
Ultimately, this is likely to have an adverse effect on team and company performance, costing time and money.
It is therefore vital to manage conflict constructively.
As a team member and leader, your ability to deal with and resolve conflicts defines your success in the longer term.
Our one day workshop in Conflict Management and Communication Skills immerses you in the most advanced conflict management tools, strategies and practices applicable today. You will gain hands-on practice on proven frameworks, go through simulations and exercises that will train you to be a highly effective professional and leader, starting day one.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION

Marilia Savvides founded The Plot Agency in 2024. She began her career in publishing at Peters Fraser and Dunlop, where she spent eight years, first as International Rights Agent, and later as Literary Agent, building her own list of authors. In 2019, she joined 42MP, where she worked as Literary Agent for four years, helping to launch and set up the Book Division.

She is particularly interested in fiction that is beautifully written and cleverly constructed, but still accessible to a wide readership. She is often drawn to darker tales that weave together excellent characters and an impossible-to-put-down story, from immersive book club novels with a splash of suspense, crime and thrillers, accessible horror, and speculative, genre-bending or dystopian stories. She also adores smart, witty contemporary rom-com in the style of Emily Henry.

In the thriller, crime and mystery space she is interested in most areas, except military thrillers and organised crime/ mafia / mob stories. Big hooks and clever set ups are a big bonus! She adores Karin Slaughter (especially her standalone novels) and Gillian Flynn.
In the book club / reading group space, she’s particularly drawn to fiction in the vein of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng, and absolutely fell in love with Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, both for the incredible voice, and the exquisite use of structure and time. Complicated family dynamics, empathetic and smart approaches to controversial issues, stand out protagonists (like Elizabeth Zott in Lessons in Chemistry or Bernadette in Where D’You Go Bernadette), long buried secrets, complicity, the road to justice, and impossible decisions, are all themes she finds herself drawn to.
In the horror space, she’s a sucker for amazing female-centric stories in the vein of Yellowjackets, and the kind of contemporary, accessible horror that Stephen King always nails. She wants to get lost in a world that feels within reach of ours. In the speculative and dystopian spaces, she’s interested in genius ideas that set up big questions or reflect the most broken (and sometimes hidden) parts of society. She loves Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, and also adored The Leftovers, Station Eleven, Wanderers, and The Power. The what-ifs of life and fiction fascinate her. In the grounded sci-fi space, she’d love to find a smart, immersive, and accessible story like The Martian.
She doesn’t represent fantasy or romantasy. In regards to sci-fi, unless it’s very grounded and has crossover potential to a mainstream audience, it’s not for her.
In the romance space, she’s particularly drawn to smart, complex and witty characters, where the chemistry is jumping off the page. She loves contemporary settings and all the tropes, though the voice and characters must come first to make the reading experience fully immersive. She wants to be cackling, and rooting for the characters with all her heart.

She is very hands-on editorially, and loves working with her authors to shape their manuscripts, and brainstorm ideas. The best part of the job is discovering debut authors, and helping them find a home for their books.

Marilia would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single Word document. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Marilia is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print).

Some of you may have joined us for our February ORSC Community event, Is There Space for Love in Organisations? Thank you to those who joined us, your insights, curiosity, and willingness to explore this complex topic made for a powerful conversation.

One thing is clear: this dialogue is far from over. As we navigate shifts in corporate culture, the need to balance masculine energy with love, connection, and relational intelligence is more important than ever.

That’s why we’re continuing the conversation in our next Community Event on 29th April. 

Together, we’ll build on what we uncovered, deepen our practice, and explore how we can actively create workplaces where love and power coexist.

Key questions we’ll address:
What does love mean in a professional setting?
How can love thrive alongside masculinity?
Can masculinity be expressed in a loving, intentional way?
What does “masculine aggression through a lens of love” look like in leadership and team dynamics?

Keith McMahon and Dylan Smith will again guide us through an interactive session.

This event isn’t just a discussion—it’s a space for practice, reflection, and transformation. Whether you’re a coach, leader, or someone passionate about building healthier workplace dynamics, you’ll leave equipped to inspire positive change.

📅 Date: February 29th April 
📍 Location: Virtual Via Zoom

Save the date and join us for this thought-provoking, practice-rich session. Together, let’s reimagine the role of love in a changing corporate world.

About this course
This course gives every learner like you really good foundational stones of what is required to become a professional medium or psychic.  You’ll gain new skills, upgrading your ability, and possibly turning it into a new career should you choose to do so.  

By completing this course, you will gain vital information and knowledge giving you the confidence to start conducting short, accurate, evidential mediumship in-person and on-zoom readings, connecting you to people all around the world.

The Mechanics of Mediumship helps learners like you become a more impactful, professional medium who holds up the banner for spiritual integrity. A medium who works in the light, with compassion and respect for the sitter, the spirit communicator and ultimately those spirit side of life.

I will teach you how to deliver industry ‘best practices’ in both your psychic and in your mediumship work, as well as giving you resources to aid in your spiritual learning and development.  I'll also share guidance so you too can deliver those amazing, accurate, impactful, evidential readings. That will offer hope, love, courage and healing to those you seek you out. And for some you’ll provide the much-needed closure needed in their grief journey, as you provide evidence that life does really continue past this physical death. 

Life like love does not die. It just moves from one dimension to another, and if we take the time, we can connect with loved ones gone before us.

What you will learn.
This course runs over 5 weeks and during our time together we will explore:
1: What mediumship is and the different types, including your role as a professional medium and the differences between working in the psychic modality and when you are connected to spirit. 
2: Activating and building your power within, and the difference between meditation, and attunement both to the spirit world and using your psychic modality.
3: The six different senses available to you, which are your strongest and whether you are perceiving them objectively or subjectively. 
4: What is and what is not evidence in mediumship, understanding the different types of evidence available and defining practical and emotional evidence.
5: Surrendering to spirit, building confidence to receive specific unique information, and understanding the reasons why you receive a no response.  Guidance on making positive, strong, statements filling your sitter with confidence, building a truly extraordinary professional reading.
