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.

Communication Strategies 1 Day Workshop in Swindon


Master plant tinctures are sacred, natural extracts derived from powerful Amazonian plants, each carrying unique healing properties. 

Used traditionally in shamanic practices, these tinctures provide a gentle, yet profound way to heal, release emotional blockages, and restore physical vitality. 

When you purchase these tinctures, you're contributing to the preservation of indigenous traditions as the Medicine Woman who makes them donates 50% of the proceeds to the Shipibo community in Iquitos, the true guardians of these medicines. 

The medicine women who makes them, fasts for 2 days before preparing them to ensure there is no external energy influencing the tinctures. The tinctures are also buried with the plant they are made from for 2 weeks to help strengthen their essence. 

Instructions:
1. Dosage & Absorption
Empty Stomach for Optimal Absorption: Take your tincture on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after your last meal. This enhances absorption and allows the plant’s energy to work more directly.
Sublingual Method (Under the Tongue): Place the recommended number of drops directly under your tongue and hold them there for about 1-2 minutes before swallowing. This method allows the plant’s essence to enter your bloodstream more quickly and efficiently.
Swallowing & Following with Water: If needed, you can follow with a sip of water or herbal tea, but avoid strong flavours that might interfere with the plant’s subtle energy.
2. Dietary Considerations
Avoid heavy, overly processed, or highly stimulating foods (e.g., caffeine, sugar, alcohol, or spicy foods) before and after taking the tincture, as they may interfere with the plant’s effects.
Simple, grounding meals such as lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains, and herbal teas, support a clearer connection to the plant.
If fasting or eating lightly while working with the tincture, listen to your body’s signals and adjust as needed.
3. Setting an Intention
Focused Approach: Working with one plant tincture for 1-2 weeks with a clear intention allows for a deeper relationship with the plant’s wisdom. Reflect on what you’re calling in whether it’s emotional healing, clarity, protection, or insight.
Intuitive Use: While structured use can be powerful, you can also work with the tincture as needed, trusting your intuition to guide you. It is safe for daily use if you feel called to it.
Journaling & Reflection: Keeping a small journal can help you track any insights, shifts, or emotions that arise during your work with the plant.
4. Adapting the Experience to You
There’s no rigid rule - some people benefit from structured, intentional work, while others find a more fluid, intuitive approach works best.
Pay attention to how your body, emotions, and energy respond. If you feel resistance or discomfort, pause and reflect on what the plant might be showing you.
Trust your own process and know that the relationship with plant medicine is deeply personal.
By approaching master plant tinctures with respect, presence, and openness, you can allow their wisdom to guide you in a way that best serves your journey. 🌿✨

Success = Value + People + Process

With innovation happening more than ever, the new agile project economy requires more and more people across organisations to manage projects successfully, leading to many of us quietly slipping into the role of the unofficial project manager!
The problem is very few people receive formal training on how to do it. Stakeholders, scope creep, limited training, and a lack of process all combine to raise the probability of project failure costing organisations time, money, and employee morale
Is it any wonder 65% of all projects fail* each year!
The good news is—unofficial project managers can build confidence to lead high-value projects and engage teams in a way that inspires them to volunteer their best efforts.

Outcomes
Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager™ combines best practices from agile and waterfall project management to equip learners with the mindset, skillset, and toolset to engage and inspire team members.
Success starts with the core agile principle of value—a project must deliver value to Noble! Once value is established, it is people who make projects successful through a consistent process.
Project management isn’t just about managing logistics and hoping the project team is ready to play to win. The skills of “informal authority” are more important than ever before, so team members are inspired to contribute to project success!

This course will help learners:
Build strong informal authority that inspires project teams to consistently volunteer their best efforts.
Utilise a consistent process to start and finish high-value projects on time and with quality.
Influence and engage others to define a clear project scope, including clear deliverables and risk strategies.
Model openness and agility to apply proactive change management and deliver high-value projects.
Project Management Framework
The Project Management Framework guides you through five distinct elements in the life of any project. Coupled with the foundational behaviours taught in the programme, this framework can help you deliver highly successful projects again and again.

Who Should Attend?
This programme is for anyone who finds themselves leading projects at work, regardless of whether or not their job title says, Project Manager!
It is NOT a deep dive into project management processes, nor is it a qualification based programme.
Whilst it would be helpful to either be involved in or to be leading a project, during the programme, this is clearly not essential. However, it is advisable that the participants have had some experience, whether as a project member or as the person who is leading the project (officially or not)!

Taking on the role of Mental Health and Wellbeing Governor

Welcome! And thank you for being curious about The Goddess Hour. If you are searching for connection, this could be for you. Each event is different and is filled with Love and Laughter.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&#39;s for you, like anything in life, is to take part...! And this year, more than ever, feels like it&#39;s time that we do things that we have never done before...

Communication is the essence of Leadership. This programme is the premiere of our leadership courses focusing on creating a culture of positive interaction, clear and respectful exchanges, all the while keeping high-performance productivity, ownership, and innovation in the forefront.Before the start of the learning session, delegates complete&nbsp;the&nbsp;TruTalent&trade; Learning &amp; Productivity (TTL &amp; P), a 20-minute online survey of an individual&rsquo;s productivity preferences and learning styles.&nbsp;The assessment identifies the individual&rsquo;s work and learning preferences for 4 styles and 12 environmental and mindset preferences. These elements affect, positively or negatively, how each individual achieves and performs in work-based learning environments. They also affect the way in which individuals concentrate, make decisions, solve problems, process information, approach and complete tasks, retain new and complex information, develop new skills, and interact with others.<h5 style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">DELEGATES WILL BE ABLE TO:</h5><ul style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Use the TruTalent&trade; Learning &amp; Productivity assessment&nbsp;to increase productivity and&nbsp;maximise performance;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Set meaningful professional goals and celebrate success for incremental progress toward achievement;</li></ul><ul style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Inspire innovation with teams to increase ownership and accountability;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Empower employees and increase engagement with effective, positive&nbsp;feedback;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Focus on positivity, setting an example for others that we are an organisation of &ldquo;yes&rdquo; and solutions; and</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Improve spoken and written communications, creating an authoritative image of expertise.</li></ul>&nbsp;Online Format&mdash;Leadership &amp; Management Development is a 4-hour interactive virtual class.<h6 style="color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: inherit;">Register for this class and you will be sent ONLINE login instructions prior to the class date.</h6><div style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"> </div><hr fr-original-style="" style="border-color: var(--border-muted); border-style: solid; clear: both; break-after: page; -webkit-user-select: none; box-sizing: border-box;">After a two-day seminar, our attendees remained in their seats wanting more from Dr Atkins.

Communication is the essence of leadership. This programme is the flagship of our leadership courses, focusing on creating a culture of positive interaction and clear, respectful exchanges whilst maintaining high-performance productivity, ownership, and innovation.

Prior to the learning session, delegates complete the TruTalent™ Learning & Productivity (TTL & P), a 20-minute online survey assessing individual productivity preferences and learning styles. This assessment identifies work and learning preferences across 4 styles and 12 environmental and mindset preferences. These elements significantly influence how individuals achieve and perform in work-based learning environments. They also affect how people concentrate, make decisions, solve problems, process information, approach and complete tasks, retain new and complex information, develop new skills, and interact with others.

Throughout the course, delegates will learn how to:
Utilise the TruTalent™ Learning & Productivity assessment to increase productivity and maximise performance 
Set meaningful professional goals and celebrate success for incremental progress towards achievement 
Inspire innovation within teams to increase ownership and accountability 
Empower employees and increase engagement through effective, positive feedback 
Focus on positivity, setting an example for others that the organisation embraces a "yes" and solutions-oriented approach 
Improve spoken and written communications, creating an authoritative image of expertise
