1 What's the smallest, most effective and most joyful way you've seen a small group (family, team etc) support each other's well being?

My mind has been on Wellbeing a lot in recent weeks as I am working on a project on that topic.
I thought it might be of value to some of you to take you through a series of Appreciative Inquiry questions about your own well being. You might not be able to answer all of them or they might not feel relevant at this time but I am sure one or the other might spark some reactions
So, this is the first

Bounce Forward - how is that even possible?

Just as a light arrived at the end of an interminably long tunnel, we were hit last night with the death toll rising to over 100,000.

Optimism and hope can be hard to hold on to in the light of that awful loss.

It may seem insensitive to even try.

But it is my belief that we should. Rather than just marking time till it is all over, why don't we work to make ourselves better, stronger and more engaged with life than before?

Why don't we try to build our relations back stronger?
Make our communities better?

I am offering 3 workshops on Bouncing Forward

I am giving my time free to the charity Age Exchange and they are offering these 90 minute sessions at the insane price of £15 per session, £30 if you book all three. All fees go directly to the work AE does with dementia sufferers and their families.

So please join me and pass this on to as many of your contacts as possible so that we can support this charity while doing something really constructive for our own health and well being.

Do you want to fix gender equality from the ground up?

Do you want to retain all the wonderful female talent you have worked hard to recruit?

Do you want to give them the best six months development that will keep them on the path to success?

And do you want it to be really, really cheap? Wait a minute. . . what?

We felt we were not reaching enough women early enough to ensure they did not decelerate their own careers, so based on our state of the art leadership programme, we devised our Women in Business open programme - six months of virtual programmes, videos and materials, professional support, monthly live calls with experts, small cohorts to encourage support for success.

We launched it at the bargain basement price of £1500 per participant so you can sign your women up, knowing they were getting the best but stay within your budget.

We know how well it works for women. They say:

'I gained visibility and opportunity in my division because of WIB'

'Because of WIB, I negotiated successfully with my boss and he supported my promotion’

The next open programme launches on Friday 29th, but we have decided to keep registration open till Monday 1st of February for just a few more of your special people.

There's no point in recruiting women.

If you don't then nurture their talent

And give them every opportunity to succeed in an organisation that maybe hasn't yet achieved gender parity.

All our research and practice has led to this virtual Women in Business programme.

We run this In house for a range of companies. But maybe you don't yet have enough women to set up in house cohorts.

So we made it available as an open programme.

Send individual women as part of their development programme.

Or send someone to test it out before implementing it in house.

Better do it soon as the next open programme launches on 29th January!
