Course Overview:

Employee engagement is a necessary strategy for companies that want to succeed in the marketplace.  Employee engagement is not an HR initiative that managers are reminded to do once a year.  It is a key strategic driver of employee performance, accomplishment, and continuous improvement all year long. It is the outcome of how your organisation interacts with people to drive business results.
This Employee Engagement training is suitable for anyone that works in a management or leadership role.

Course Contents:

Help improve the engagement of your employees and increase business success
Engagement is a heightened emotional connection that an employee feels for his organisation, which influences them to put in greater effort. Higher engagement levels yield higher productivity and retention rates. This makes employee engagement a powerful factor in business success. Engaged employees are more productive, customer-focused, and profit-oriented and organisations are more likely to retain them.
An essential part of an organisation’s talent management strategy is its focus on employee engagement and retention. Organisations that maintain this focus create an environment where employees have the tools, resources, and professional opportunities to develop skills and fulfil their career goals.

Develop trusting relationships that ensure the team works towards common goals.
Keep their teams happy and reduce staff turnaround.

Ultimately this training allows you to nurture a virtual team that is more motivated, inspired and productive. You need to know that your managers can effectively lead remote workers and now you have the training to do it.

Born and raised in Belgium, on a diet of frites and Tintin she moved to England in her late teens with her family, then stayed in London to do a History degree and Masters at University College London. Having been brought up bilingual, translation rights seemed like her logical next step. She started off in the rights department at Bloomsbury Publishing, before hopping across the square to Ed Victor&rsquo;s agency, and found experiencing both the publishing and agency side of publishing incredibly valuable.She has been building her own list of authors alongside selling translation rights since early 2016, which she has hugely enjoyed; working with authors right from the book&rsquo;s conception, while also experiencing the thrill of selling her own authors&rsquo; works in the UK and US as well as in translation to publishers across the globe.In terms of adult fiction, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se has a huge soft spot for historical fiction, having read Early Modern History at university, but is also very much on the hunt for crime/thrillers, bookclub, high-concept love stories and literary fiction. She loves strong female characters, in particular when they go through an evolution or journey as the story progresses and gradually find that inner strength.On the children&rsquo;s fiction front, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se is all about finding a fresh, new voice. She loves all things funny, fantasy and adventure &ndash; across lands, time and space, and involving strong friendships and strong lead characters - and wants to be transported straight away when reading a manuscript. She likes very vivid, well-crafted and imaginative worlds, such as stories set in a toy factory or in an underwater world.

LOOKING FOR: 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).

Discernment Formation for Course Leaderswith Rachel Overton and Nick HelmThis programme aims to enable course leaders to develop or sharpen up discernment processes within formation programmes for spiritual directors from all traditions.&nbsp;A previous participant says:&#39;This programme really helped me to find a language with which to fully&nbsp;understand discernment processes for myself and for my facilitating the development of others.&rsquo;&nbsp;Discernment is not something that we &lsquo;do&rsquo; at certain moments of decision in life.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rather it is the stance we should assume in every aspect of life and can be articulated in the question &lsquo;how am I centred and responsive to God?&rsquo;As course leaders and people responsible for the formation of spiritual directors, we need to be aware of our own discernment processes if we are to enable others to grow in their ability to discern well.&nbsp;&nbsp;Such awareness also enables us to offer congruence between the formation programme we are a part of, the nature of spiritual accompaniment and being faithful to God in life.&nbsp; &nbsp;Over the course of the four day sessions, we will enable participants to engage with questions such as:&nbsp;<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What do you pay attention to within your own experience?&nbsp;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Why do you pay attention to that?&nbsp;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How do you respond to what you notice?</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What choices do you make?</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How does all of this apply to you personally, your role as a spiritual director and your role in the formation of spiritual directors.</li></ul>&nbsp;These will be explored in relation to the &lsquo;triangle model&rsquo; of relationships within spiritual direction &ndash; a model which helps to sharpen awareness of the multiple aspects of discernment that we need to pay attention to.The programme will be experiential, involving small group work as well as plenary sessions. &nbsp;Participants will also be expected to take time to reflect and continue to work with their own process in between sessions.By the end of the programme, participants can expect to:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">be more aware of their own process and language of discernment</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">have greater awareness of how discernment is lived in spiritual direction and spiritual direction formation</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">be more secure in their role as a trainer enabling discerning processes</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">have clarity about ways in which this discerning stance can be developed in the course they are involved in</li></ul>All sessions will run on Zoom from 9.45am to 4.15pm<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"> </div>Previous participants share their responses to this programme:&nbsp;&lsquo;A safe space to open your heart to the unexpected.&rsquo;&lsquo;It opens up the process of discerning far better than reading it in a book.&#39;&lsquo;[It] may well change your perception of what discernment is all about and, with practice, it will change the way you live and pray.

Discernment Formation for Course Leaders
with Rachel Overton and Nick Helm
This programme aims to enable course leaders to develop or sharpen up discernment processes within formation programmes for spiritual directors from all traditions. 
A previous participant says:
'This programme really helped me to find a language with which to fully understand discernment processes for myself and for my facilitating the development of others.’ 
Discernment is not something that we ‘do’ at certain moments of decision in life. Rather it is the stance we should assume in every aspect of life and can be articulated in the question ‘how am I centred and responsive to God?’
As course leaders and people responsible for the formation of spiritual directors, we need to be aware of our own discernment processes if we are to enable others to grow in their ability to discern well. Such awareness also enables us to offer congruence between the formation programme we are a part of, the nature of spiritual accompaniment and being faithful to God in life. 
Over the course of the four day sessions, we will enable participants to engage with questions such as: 
What do you pay attention to within your own experience?
Why do you pay attention to that?
How do you respond to what you notice?
What choices do you make?
How does all of this apply to you personally, your role as a spiritual director and your role in the formation of spiritual directors.
 These will be explored in relation to the ‘triangle model’ of relationships within spiritual direction – a model which helps to sharpen awareness of the multiple aspects of discernment that we need to pay attention to.
The programme will be experiential, involving small group work as well as plenary sessions. Participants will also be expected to take time to reflect and continue to work with their own process in between sessions.
By the end of the programme, participants can expect to:
be more aware of their own process and language of discernment
have greater awareness of how discernment is lived in spiritual direction and spiritual direction formation
be more secure in their role as a trainer enabling discerning processes
have clarity about ways in which this discerning stance can be developed in the course they are involved in
All sessions will run on Zoom from 9.45am to 4.15pm
Previous participants share their responses to this programme: 
‘A safe space to open your heart to the unexpected.’
‘It opens up the process of discerning far better than reading it in a book.'
‘[It] may well change your perception of what discernment is all about and, with practice, it will change the way you live and pray. I would thoroughly recommend this learning process and experience.’
‘Approach with an attentive, open heart, recognising the potential to go deeper through exploring discernment by journeying both as individual and with others.’
‘A very in-depth programme that really gets to the heart of discernment. Don’t miss it - it can change your life!!’
‘It wasn't until I experienced this programme with Nick and Rachel that it became obvious how vital this clarification of, and approach to discernment is, and would whole-heartedly recommend this empowering course to the most seasoned of trainers as well as those just starting out.’

Humans are social beings who thrive when surrounded by beneficial relationships with others. Achieving healthy, satisfactory, and mutually beneficial relationships can be impacted by personality styles, character traits, learned behaviors, and personal experiences.&nbsp;Desiring to improve one&rsquo;s relationship with significant others and to become more apt at social interactions, in general, represents the echo of an elevated sense of self. It takes a high level of self-awareness to understand where we lack in relationships with others, and a lot of courage to work on raising above personal beliefs, fears, or social norms to improve our interactions with others.&nbsp;Coaching is a tool able to help you understand the reasons behind the challenges in relationships with others and can help you navigate them in an easy and transparent way, based on mutual trust and respect.&nbsp;

RELATIONSHIPS

This webinar looks at the what, how and why of prioritising relationships in unschooling and outlines three ways that will transform your child&rsquo;s life and learning right now. There are some things that just don&rsquo;t matter when you are not in school:&nbsp;Target setting, test scores, attendance records. Homework, extra curricula activities, completing tasks. Daily challenges, timetables, Sport&rsquo;s Day.

This webinar looks at the what, how and why of prioritising relationships in unschooling and outlines three ways that will transform your child’s life and learning right now.


There are some things that just don’t matter when you are not in school:
 
Target setting, test scores, attendance records. Homework, extra curricula activities, completing tasks. Daily challenges, timetables, Sport’s Day. The list goes on.
 
But it’s not that nothing matters.
 
We change our priorities. We stop focusing on getting to school on time, wearing the correct uniform, and what goes in the lunch box.
 
You start to focus on your child.
 
Not what time they get out of bed, not what clothes they are wearing, or what they are eating.
 
But,
Are they happy?
Are they healthy?
Are they engaged?
 
And this is the paradox of unschooling. The focus is not on what your child is learning. The focus is on your child and how they feel about themselves and interact with the world around them.
 
And the number one thing that effects your child’s perception of themselves and how they explore their environment is their relationship with you.
 
This webinar concentrates on the number one thing that improves unschooling for your family, and how better relationships enables better learning.


This webinar is FREE to LPL Monthly Members. You can sign up and access to previous webinars, two live webinars a month, a private community and more for £20 per month. Supporting your conscious and courageous step into unschooling and surrounding you with community for the path ahead.
