Wild Atlantic Travel Co

My passion for travel started when I was 17, leaving home and going to the Irish traditional city of Galway on the beautiful west coast of Ireland to live and work. This journey has continued and never wavers to the current day. I’m always looking for the next adventure and to “step outside my comfort zone” I have taught English and lived in San Francisco, Sydney, Melbourne, Hungary, Spain and traveled extensively all over Asia and the Pacific. pexels-photo-1560932 Educational Tourism I currently work in Educational tourism and I’m the European Project Manager for Foyle International Ltd. I oversee Erasmus work-based internships from all over Europe. I also write large funding applications to give local people the opportunity to experience different cultures, learn new working ethics and enhance their employability skills. Through this experience, I’ve noticed that personal growth is as important as professional development and that travel and tourism can increase drive, motivation and learning. pexels-photo-1015568 Educational Background My educational background includes a bachelor's degree in Business Management with Spanish. I sit on the UK board for ECVET (European Accreditation for Vocational Education and Training) and travel to different European destinations to discuss and devise methodologies to further enhance and improve Erasmus procedures and programmes. Ethos I believe that travel and experiential learning are paramount to one’s development. This includes tourism that focuses on history, culture, heritage, outdoor and therapeutic activities. Wild Atlantic learning recognises the value of travel but recognises our responsibility to implement provisions that are sustainable, Eco and combat our carbon footprint. “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it”

Finishing my Masters degree in Business management and English back in 1990, I was drawn to my initial love for teaching. From then on, my career path veered from teaching to customer coordinator, project manager to being a progress coach in a Sixth Form College. This last step inspired me to become a qualified coach. I decided to leave full time employment in September 2016 and after a very enjoyable 6 month training with Animas I got my Transformational Life Coaching certificate in May 2017 and became ICF (International Coaching Federation) accredited in June 2018. As a true multipotentialite, my life also involves many projects, volunteering, mentoring and training. My coaching clients vary from students to corporate, self employed and Academics. Issues we have been addressing range from self confidence, lack of direction and clarity to procrastination. My own learnings through this amazing journey have been patience and looking at others’ perspectives and stay curious. My key skill is presence and intuition. Looking forward to carrying on growing as a professional coach, I seize every opportunity to attend talks, networking events, read blogs, volunteer and reach out to the community. In the long run, my main goals are to keep helping the most in need: the youngsters. I truly believe in the power of pure coaching and will endeavour to keep learning and better my skills to help you obtain the change you crave for. Why chose me? because I will help you move forward, take action by gaining clarity and confidence to do so in a few very powerful life changing coaching sessions.

Hi, I’m Jane Barrett, co-founder of The Career Farm and co-author of “Taking charge of your career”. I started my career in in-house recruitment (recruiting MBAs for PricewaterhouseCoopers) and retained search consultancy for blue-chip clients, private companies and start-ups across a variety of sectors including Finance, IT and FMCG. As a recruiter it was clear to me that many well-qualified MBA and Masters candidates were poorly prepared for the interview process, and were unable to explain what they wanted and what they had to offer. This lack of preparation meant that good candidates were failing to get offers. We founded The Career Farm to support the careers teams at Business Schools across the UK and Europe, using our 3-step “GPS” process to help students get better jobs on graduation. Over the years we’ve worked with thousands of students, originally in face-to-face workshops and more recently through our online courses. The Bigger Picture The work we do with Business Schools and our corporate clients helps to support “The Future of Work”, a not-for-profit initiative aligned with the UN Sustainability Goals that gives young people an opportunity to explore the jobs that will help our economies and communities meet the diverse challenges of the 21st century. Our offices are based in the spa town of Harrogate, Yorkshire, in the north of the UK. If you would like to know more about the services we offer to Business Schools, corporate clients and individuals, we’d love to hear from you, so please use the Contact page to get in touch.

Freestyle Flooring Sustainability & SelecTech Here at SelecTech, we believe we have the power to make a change in the world of construction. And starting out as a recycling organization gives us a bit of an edge. We figured out how to make a desirable product – high quality, easy to install flooring – out of a material that can’t always be reused. By using recycled material and a less harmful method of installation, our flooring systems can save the planet, as well as your time and money. In a world of heavy consumerism, sometimes it can be hard to take a step back and really evaluate the effects your purchases have on the environment. But with SelecTech, you don’t have to worry. Our line of flooring is made with material that’s already here, so we don’t have to worry as much about the impact of production. Additionally, their durability means you won’t have to purchase new flooring, further decreasing their carbon footprint. LEED Qualifications What does it mean to be “LEED”? You’ve probably seen plaques boasting this outside of newer buildings. LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – is a set of guidelines established by the US Green Business Green Business Council to encourage greener practices in construction. Organizations can earn LEED “points” by performing various tasks in different areas, including Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and LEED Innovation. By installing SelecTech flooring, you’ll earn points in the Materials & Resources category, with potential for Innovation in the future.

I cut my teeth in big business managing multi-million marketing budgets, and did everything from hiring celebrities such as Jamie Oliver for a product launch to managing multiple PR agencies across EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). But despite the budgets and the glamour, I wasn't happy...So in 2005 I left corporate and set up my own marketing agency, Page Marketing, so I could work with passionate owners of start-ups and SME’s, helping them to realise their visions and grow using simple, yet powerful marketing strategies. But it wasn't plain sailing I can tell you! I experienced all of the setbacks and barriers you can imagine - including a personal health crisis and the 2008 financial crash. But sometimes at our worst times, comes our greatest growth as an entrepreneur. Understanding the importance of personal development was a complete game changer. I then went on to successfully build a team, serve hundreds of businesses, earn my dream income, while only working part-time. Enabling me time to volunteer for the Cherie Blair Foundation. Then a few years ago when I took a step back to have my two amazing girls, I realised something profound... I was ready for a pivot. I realised that my favourite part of my business was mentoring and I also wanted to build a community and run events - hello IGNITE! I still also keep my toe in the world of marketing, providing consultancy and training services, which I love! Over the years, I have created incredible businesses and a fabulous lifestyle, my mission is to help other women to enjoy that freedom too!

Good record keeping is the cornerstone of effective safeguarding practice. A vitally important practical step in safeguarding is to record concerns as they arise. MYCONCERN® is our Queen’s Award-winning secure digital platform that enables staff or other members of your organisation (such as volunteers) to record their safeguarding concerns quickly and easily. Recording safeguarding concerns in a carefully structured and consistent way supports highly effective case management and data analysis. Our mobile companion app enables the secure recording and case management of concerns on-the-go and seamlessly links with your user account in MYCONCERN®. TAKE ACTION INFORMED DECISION MAKING Understanding your safeguarding data is critical if you want to prevent serious harm. By recording incidents and concerns diligently and consistently a picture will quickly emerge of risks, issues and trends. By monitoring and managing your data in MYCONCERN® you will be in the best possible position to provide early help and to demonstrate the impact of your initiatives and interventions. GENERATING INSIGHT BUILD A RICH PICTURE Gaining a multi-establishment perspective provides much greater insight to improve safeguarding practice. Safeguarding concerns are rarely limited to a single place or issue - they often occur in multiple locations and involve several people and issues. Building a rich picture using a wide base of data and from a multi-establishment perspective can provide much greater insight. Organisation-wide and even community-based action now becomes possible. Data from multiple instances of MYCONCERN® can be analysed using the advanced capabilities of CLARITY® to track trends, identify actionable opportunities for intervention, save time and money, and improve safeguarding practice.
