Where Have We Been?
So, where have we been? Read on for some fabulous news.
I have decided, despite a lot of pushing, that presenting and training courses live online is not something I wanted as part of my business strategy. So I didn’t do it. I know stubborn….
Instead, we have been working hard behind the scenes on some projects with partners that are just super exciting! Let me tell you about them…
COACTING STYLES
This is a partnership project with a company called People Intelligence. Who I have known as friends for, yikes, over 17 years now. They have created a tool that provides people with the knowledge of what they are like to work with and how they can learn to adapt their behaviour to suit different styles of team members. As a joint project, we wanted to be able to bring this solution to the market in a very cheap online way. We have now launched a website where people can buy the product (£30+VAT), take the short test, and be presented with a 40+ page working notepad about what they are like to work with and what it is like for them to work with others. This product is fantastic! The aim of our deliverable is to help as many people as possible, hence the cost, to understand themselves and others around them better. And to aid in trust, communication, team building, and self-esteem. Check out coacting.co.uk for more information.
CHALLENGE LEADER
In a fortuitous 1-2-1 meeting at a networking group, I met John Grantham. John runs an HR Consultancy and we got talking about running a course together on how to work well with others, avoiding HR issues. The thought was using the above-mentioned tool. Alongside my experience of training Great Managers and Johns’s knowledge of how to avoid things going horribly wrong in the workplace. This was a great idea, but as we talked, we found out more and more about each other. Then something incredible happened. Years ago, John used to run Army style Team Building events. And I have, for over 18 years, run team building for a Youth Charity. We started talking about this, and it was clear where our passions mixed and Challenge Leader was formed. John pulled his bombs, mines, camo gear, and radios out of storage. I started planning the outcomes of the day. In no time, we were running our first Challenge Leader day and it was a huge success! Then COVID hit… rude…. So we have used this time to really get this into an amazing package, and it really is. I can’t tell you all about it here, it would take just too long, but check out challengeleader.co.uk for more information!
HSOH School of Hypnotherapy Online courses
A few years ago I teamed up with my great friend, Lorraine Gleeson. Lorraine is a highly respected hypnotherapist and author. We created online courses for Hypnotherapists. There are all sorts of online courses available including the full certification course. Which takes someone from the desire to practice hypnotherapy, to having the skills to do so. During the lockdown, we decided it was a great time for people to learn new things, but as money would be tight, we would reduce the course costs to help people to say YES more easily. This has worked brilliantly and we have many people learning from these sessions, completing their training, and coming back for more. We are planning to build more courses as soon as lockdown allows and we look forward to making these available to people too. For more information, check out hsohonlinetraining.com
So in summary, I haven’t only been doing nothing, although, there has also been a fair amount of that too…. But all these amazing products have been born out of a desire to come back stronger and braver the other side!
