I am given a theme for the evening, usually on the day of the event itself and this then becomes our focus for the session, as we follow the guidance and teachings that arise through spoken word, meditation and sharing.
They are beautiful spontaneous affairs that are always different and sometimes surprising! Most importantly they foster a great sense of connection within and without and everyone feels empowered and inspired through attending.
I was guided by the great Goddess Isis to run the first of these events back in May of 2023 and they have been taking place ever since, on the last Wednesday of the month.
They really are special events. Come to one or come to many! There are no rules. If you would welcome the opportunity to connect with other like-minded women, then maybe this is for you...
A sacred hour just for you, to feel held, nurtured and cherished. Oh and I always pull everyone a Goddess Card at the end of the session. Some beautiful individual guidance from the Goddesses themselves...
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or take the plunge and come along to the next one. The only way you will discover if it's for you, like anything in life, is to take part...! This year, we are being called, to step into more of who we truly are, and sometimes we discover that by doing things that we have never done before...

Empowering You to Take Control of Your Sales Process, Not Be Subject to Theirs.
HERE’S THEIRS  
THEM: “That’s very interesting, Dexter. Please send me a proposal outlining your ideas, how you will implement them, and how much this will cost.”

You promptly prepare the proposal, and then one of the following occurs:

THEM: “That’s excellent! I’ll show it to the decision-maker.”  

YOU: (Oh, I thought you were the decision-maker.)
 
THEM: “I'm sorry, but based on your proposal, we have decided to continue with our existing supplier.”

THEM: “Thank you for the excellent proposal. We showed it to one of your competitors and have chosen to go with them.”

They then ghost you and disappear without a trace.

If this has happened to you, it's time to take charge of your sales process. You need a framework that empowers you rather than binds you to their approach.

The 9 Steps to Sales Potential is a tried-and-tested process that keeps you in control of the sales conversation, ensures you achieve clear and specific outcomes, and wins you the business you desire.

Join me for a one-hour interactive session, followed two weeks later by a one-hour feedback session. 

Here, you can share your experiences using the process in an open forum and gain further insights.

Whetstone Communications, in association with comms2point0, is delighted to bring your another free webinar to support your learning and development.Our aim is to boost interest in using evidence and improve levels of data literacy among not-for-profit communicators.For this session we&#39;re delighted to be welcoming&nbsp;Laurel Smithson, Communications Manager (Humanitarian and Strategic) and colleagues from Hertfordshire County Council.&nbsp;Session OutlineAs many organisations face ever-decreasing budgets, comms professionals are increasingly asked to do more with less, or even cut some activity.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hertfordshire County Council last year found itself with just a small budget to do deliver its annual residents&rsquo; survey &ndash; a vital tool that underpins much of its work. It also ensures it remains accountable to our residents and informs work across the organisation.It had to find a way to deliver it in-house, but delivering results that surpassed expectations.&nbsp; This session aims to equip you and your colleagues with the skills and knowledge to produce your own in-house survey, including:&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The how and the what (what questions).&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Understanding weighting and benchmarking.&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How to publicise the survey to drive up responses.&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How to share the results of the survey.&nbsp;&nbsp;Who should attend?*People working in local government communications* Anyone in the public or not for profit sector with responsibility for running or promoting stakeholder surveys.

The start of the year has brought about a fresh wave of curiosity and excitement in public sector comms over the application of AI.

Data analysis is being touted as one application; for campaign planning, as well
as for evaluation and measurement.

It sounds like the answer to the communications profession's data achilles heel!

But hallucination in results remains an issue - what looks impressive might be totally undermined by a major error.

So where does that leave us? How can we use AI productively but safely and confidently for data work in comms campaigns and BAU?

This webinar will cover:

- Use cases
- Tools to consider
- Pitfalls with current Large Language Models (LLMs)
- Demo of mistakes it makes
- Top tips for using GenAI in your work
- Q&A
