Customer Service Leadership - accredited by the Institute of Leadership

This isn’t a course. It’s a consecration. 
A sacred spiral for women in midlife who feel the shift — and are ready to rise.

There comes a moment when the roles you've played no longer fit.  
When the masks feel heavy. When the rhythm you’ve lived by begins to falter.

Not because you’ve failed. But because you’re becoming, something powerful, sovereign, and beautifully indefinable.

You’re not losing yourself. You’re rediscovering the fire that never truly went out.

 🔮 What is Hearth of Hera?

Hearth of Hera is a 7-week live, online spiral for women in midlife who know they’re no longer who they were — but aren’t yet sure who they’re becoming.

It’s not about self-improvement.  
It’s not a coaching programme or a checklist.  
It’s a return — to voice, sovereignty, magic, and self-remembrance.

If you’ve felt the call, your place is already waiting.

🌿 This journey is for you if:

*   You’re in midlife or standing at a powerful threshold moment
    
*   You’ve outgrown old identities, rules, or rhythms that no longer serve
    
*   You want sacred space that honours your depth, sensitivity, and magic
    
*   You’re ready to reclaim your voice — spiritually, creatively, unapologetically
    
*   You crave gentle ritual, beautiful structure, and a pace that honours your energy
    
*   You long for sisterhood without pressure or performance
    
*   You’re tired of trying to be “enough” and just want to be true

No application. No performance.  
Just resonance — and your readiness to return to yourself.

🔥 What You Receive

*   🕯 7 live weekly Zoom circles (Mondays at 6pm BST – replays available)
    
*   🌀 A growing 7-card tarot spread — one new card drawn and explored each week
    
*   📝 Creative prompts and voicework exercises
    
*   🔥 Weekly rituals to support your unfolding (simple and flexible — no pressure)
    
*   🌙 Optional journal and embodiment practices you can explore at your own pace
    
*   📱 A private Telegram group for connection, sharing, and gentle sisterhood
    
Whether you attend live or follow the replays, you’ll be fully held.

✨ The Spiral Path: Your 7-Week Journey

Each week brings a new threshold — a deepening into voice, truth, and sovereignty:

1.  Root the Flame — anchor into belonging and inner ground
    
2.  Ignite the Flow — awaken creative, emotional, and energetic movement
    
3.  Sing the Soul — speak your truth and reclaim the myth you live
    
4.  Name the Boundaries — honour your yes, your no, your sacred edge
    
5.  Clarify the Vision — attune to desire, direction, and knowing
    
6.  Burn the Falsehoods — release what no longer fits or serves
    
7.  Rise to Be Seen — stand whole, witnessed, and unshaken
    
This is not a linear curriculum.  
It is a spiral of becoming — rooted in rhythm, ritual, and resonance.

We begin 7/7.
Come.  
Sit by the hearth.  
Your fire is waiting.

LOOKING FOR: YA/NA FANTASY, SFF, HORROR, ADULT FICTION

John Baker (he/him) joined the Bell Lomax Moreton agency in 2019, cultivating a list shaped around his passion for science fiction, fantasy, and horror, though has lately also branched out into action/adventure fiction. John focuses on authors writing in the Adult, New Adult, and YA spaces. 

John leads the wider agency's film & TV desk, is the Secretary of the Association of Author’s Agents, and the co-chair of the AAA’s Bridge Committee. He also serves on the Kingston University MA Publishing Advisory Board.

Under the umbrella of speculative fiction, John is looking for fantasy, science fiction, horror, romantasy, or literary speculative fiction. He has built a reputation as a champion of underrepresented voices and stories, be it from creators hailing from the global majority and their diasporas or neurodiverse authors, and naturally gravitates towards this kind of storytelling. In short, if he’s never read a story like yours before, he wants to see it. 

Adult fantasy: John loves beefy epic fantasy, especially non-Anglo Christian-inspired. Give him an immersive world, a fresh magical or mythic system, and an exciting cast of characters and he’ll be happy. He is a broad church in the genre so loves a political fantasy, swords and sorcery, courtly intrigue, monster hunting and dastardly villains. John is keen to find an urban fantasy that feels fresh and fun and he’s a sucker for a heroic quest narrative. He’s also very open to fantasy that isn’t easily categorised, but it is playing in that world. John is keenly hunting for more historical fantasy, especially inspired by modern history. He’s had fun with mythological retellings in the past, but as ever, let’s make sure it’s shining the spotlight on new stories. He would also love fantasy that centres on types of relationships less celebrated in fantasy, such as established and secure married couples, or siblings. 

NA/YA fantasy: In this genre, most importantly, John wants to have a good time, whether it’s swoon-worthy kisses in lush ball gowns, or gruesome gore and monsters, so send him pacy, plot-filled adventures. He’d love more books that teenage boys would love: Skullduggery Pleasant forever! 

Romantasy: The thriving new romantasy genre comes with its own set of challenges, so John wants to know what makes your romantasy different; what will set it out from the (very crowded!) market. Give it completely barmy stakes, cool and unique new settings, or a love story that will make your jaw drop. To be clear, he’s happily sorted for a human person meets a fae creature in the spooky woods. Also, cosmic romance is the genre of the future. Give him romantasy in space. Easy. 

Horror: John and horror are old friends. He loves horror inspired by myth and folklore, subversive weird horror that leaves your eyebrows in your hairline, historical horror that pulls from ghastly true stories, and anything that you’ll be reading with the light on. He also loves a gothic element and is particularly looking for horror with a strong romantic throughline, fun YA horror, and female & NB horror authors. 

Science fiction: SF is coming back! And John has been shouting about that. He loves to see an adventurous found-family romp through space or an epic, crunchy space opera. Speculative near-future is fun too, in the vein of Black Mirror’s more uplifting episodes, (e.g. San Junipero). He loves YA science fiction as well; the more creative the better. 

Literary: John is open to finding more rich magical realism or something character-led yet supernatural and would love a high-concept mystery, in the vein of Stuart Turton. He also loves spec fic that uses the speculative lightly as a way of confronting a deeper truth in society today. 

Weird stuff: John wants books that will blow people’s minds and defy categorisation. This is hard to describe, but think Gideon The Ninth, The Library At Mount Char, This Is How You Lose The Time War. John loves a pitch that leaves the editors baffled but intrigued. 

Action/Adventure, Historical Adventure, Espionage: John is branching out into non-speculative adventures, such as John Le Carré, Lee Child, Ian Flemming, and Mick Herron. More as his taste develops, but the hunt is on!

Not looking for: military sci-fi or hard SF, or anything with biblical “character wakes up in purgatory/heaven/hell” narratives. The right comedic fantasy has yet to hit his inbox, but please don’t comp Douglas Adams or Sir Terry.

John would like you to submit a covering letter, 1-2 page synopsis and the first two chapters of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, John 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).

We all have different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives which mean that we can all react differently to situations at work, which can also affect the relationships we have.

Conflict can have a significant impact on colleagues and the business financially and emotionally. It is important that as a manager you have the tools to resolve conflict before it becomes an issue.

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.

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.

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.

What is the AM2 assessment? The AM2 assessment is an industry recognised trade test designed to evidence that candidates have gained all relevant and safety-critical competencies during their training process. It provides a single standard that has been agreed upon by employers within the electrical industry, giving a reliable and trusted guarantee of safe, high-quality skills for the electrotechnical industry. Who is this for? This is aimed at apprentices who are coming to the end of their training for the JIB apprentice training scheme and the Installation of modern apprenticeships. This course is also for experienced electricians, specifically those who are looking at taking the experienced worker route (AM2E.) There are a range of assessments for candidates based on their level: AM2 – This is for candidates undertaking the JIB mature candidate assessments and those following the level three NVQ who isn’t an apprentice. AM2S – This is for electrotechnical apprentices who are training against the apprenticeship standard AM2E – This is for experienced workers who are completing the experienced worker assessment. Please note: this can only be taken once you have gained the experienced worker qualification, proof must be provided before booking the AM2 assessment. What does this assessment consist of? Overall, the AM2 is an in-depth assessment carrying out tasks to show what you have learnt on your training. It is a practical assessment with five sections (six for AM2E and AM2S) and a short online component. Candidates will be expected to install, connect, terminate, inspect, test, commission and diagnose faults, following installation specifications provided and any relevant statutory and non-statutory regulations on: A three-phase distribution board and subcircuit A central heating/sustainable energy system Lighting and power circuits A data cabling system A safety services circuit and device Installation of containment systems (AM2E and AM2S only) Candidates will complete timed tasks in equipped areas that contain typical electrical installation wiring systems – all work must comply with BS7671 Wiring Regulations, industry best practice, and meet the requirements of relevant health and safety legislation. The assessment will be carried out in strict exam conditions across 2.5 days. Do I need an AM2 certificate to work as an electrician? Apprentices must pass their AM2 test in their final year to complete their apprenticeship. Also, if the apprenticeship standard is not being followed, an AM2 certificate and a level three NVQ is required to gain a gold card. If you are already working as an electrician, you will not need an AM2 certificate. If you are training to be an electrician and are registering for your NVQ level three in Electrical Installation or Maintenance, the electrotechnical diploma now includes the AM2. The AM2 certification is an industry recognised and something that many employers will actively seek when hiring new staff. It can also be attractive to potential customers.
