		<h3>Description</h3>
		<p></p><p>Professional Management is crucial to your company's success. In fact, managers can have the single largest impact on your organisation's productivity and overall profitability, with more influence over employee morale and performance than anyone else.</p>
<p>But good management doesn't just 'happen'. Managers don't intrinsically know how to bring out the best in people, how best to delegate or how to manage their own, and their team's, time effectively.</p>
<p>But while there are numerous training packages for managers available, most are'one-size-fits-all', costly, uninspiring and bear no relation to your company's unique culture and goals.</p>

Description

Professional Management is crucial to your company's success. In fact, managers can have the single largest impact on your organisation's productivity and overall profitability, with more influence over employee morale and performance than anyone else.
But good management doesn't just 'happen'. Managers don't intrinsically know how to bring out the best in people, how best to delegate or how to manage their own, and their team's, time effectively.
But while there are numerous training packages for managers available, most are'one-size-fits-all', costly, uninspiring and bear no relation to your company's unique culture and goals.

The word retreat means two things:
'The act of withdrawing from something difficult and dangerous'
'To move away from danger.'
During this retreat, we are, in some ways, asking your people to do both. 
We need you to retreat from the workplace where the stress is and where you are easily contacted to make decisions and solve problems. We do this so that you can enter an environment where we can gain your complete attention, where you feel 'off duty', and where you can relax surrounded by colleagues who want to make the most out of the time they have together. 
The moving away from danger is facilitated by you all proving that the environment is confirmed as psychologically safe so anyone can say anything or challenge anyone, (politely, professionally and respectfully). 
This event focuses on what requires developing, discusses it in a psychologically safe environment, and develops ideas to take back and experiment with. 
This retreat is not a one-size-fits-all event. It is specifically designed to address your organisation's unique needs, requirements, and desired outcomes. By tailoring the retreat to your specific context, we believe we can maximise its impact and ensure that it aligns with your strategic goals, values, and organisational culture.
It can be for:
Top executives.
A combination of your top executives and senior leadership.
A mix of your organisation's top decision-makers, HR, directors, managers, team leaders and colleagues.
Or any other mix that you prefer.
Numbers can range from about nine individuals to around 30 people. The venue for the event, along with transport, accommodation, and meals, are booked by the organisation taking part. We will guide you through the requirements for the location.
The retreat weekend can be Friday and Saturday, Saturday and Sunday or Sunday and Monday. Alternatively, this can be held during the working week. 
It follows various formats depending on the discussions leading up to the event. Below is an example of a past event (2023).
Request a discussion to help identify the key objectives and ingredients of your Corporate Retreat.

Example event:
Day One:
Event briefing
Share our organisational and personal objectives. (Gathered before the event).
The jigsaw activity (a short, fun activity to get your creative minds in gear).
The basics of Emotional Intelligence and why it is critical to organisational communication.
Psychological Safety, our Moccasin Approach® and our ARCHWAY Approach® (our ground rules for success).
Organisational self-assessment and analysis. (Identifying unseen barriers/blockers).
How to become more self-aware by working with colleagues.
Break out group work and wash up, ready for the morning.
Evening to relax.
Day Two:
A challenging group activity to get those brains going.
Aligning organisational values with present experienced culture.
Create a template for Personal Profiles (possibly).
Break out group work to establish ideas and possible solutions to yesterday's barriers/blockers.
The start of our Organisational Culture Engagement Team (OCET).
A stage one plan for the future.
Next steps and committing to our future plans. (Accountability and Responsibility).
Wash up and depart the venue.
Retreat delivery and venue
We do not offer this as an online experience. We recommend that you select a venue of your choice, but we can also book a venue for you. We'd need to discuss various aspects, such as accessibility requirements and the distance to travel, etc.
LENGTH - Usually two days. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT RETREAT START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
RETREAT DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.

LOOKING FOR: MG, YA, ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Una is a Rights Agent at Susanna Lea Associates and am starting to build a client list. 

She grew up in London and graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA in English in 2021. At university, Una was particularly interested in contemporary West African and South Asian literature. She started as an agent's assistant at SLA London in 2022 and now handles some translation rights and provides support with editorial work and submissions.

Una's favourite reads always set her at ease right away and draws her in with impressive and accessible storytelling, memorable characters or an original hook. Una enjoys writing which expands her worldview, makes her laugh out loud or keeps her on her toes with its twists and turns. She welcomes submissions from debut authors and would be keen to read across a wide range of genres and styles.

She is looking for literary, upmarket and book club fiction, and is always drawn to stories that explores the challenges and complexities of love and relationships in all its forms —within families, between friends or in romantic relationships. Una loves the way in which familial relationships are dissected in The Wren, The Wren by Anne Enright and the impact of the local community in Small Worlds by Caleb Azumah Nelson. She is always drawn to novels with a strong sense of community, whether they are unified by geography, culture, or in other unexpected ways.

Una has always loved reading international and translated fiction and welcomes submissions from authors writing contemporary fiction that engages with cultures and traditions from around the world, such as in voices of the deities in Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi or the subversive tales of Sayaka Murata. 

She is not looking for children’s or YA titles, science fiction or high-concept fantasy, but is open to submissions from authors writing in the speculative fiction space, and books with fantastical or otherworldly elements, be that magical realism or supernatural horror, such as Mona Awad's campus novel with a twist, Bunny. Una would also love to read more writing that engages with the natural world and reminds us of the limitations of human understanding.

In non-fiction, Una enjoys books that furthers her understanding of wider societal issues — nature and the environment, culture, and little-known history. Her recent non-fiction favourites are Eve by Cat Bohannon, Doppelgänger by Naomi Klein and Unearthed by Claire Ratinon.

Una would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Una is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented 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). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

Identify characteristics and qualities that will support the required skills;
Prepare questions to elicit descriptions of behaviors, attitudes, and skills necessary for the job;
Review legal and appropriate interviewing etiquette/guidelines, including social media research;
Screen candidates, using resumes and phone interviews; and

Workbooks for future reference and study.
Workshop / role play with actual interview scenarios to assist in internalizing data.
Time for individual questions and concerns to aid in personalizing tactics.
