There are many issues which stop us from realising our full potential – whether in our personal or professional lives. Join us on the 18th September to learn how to identify the causes of issues keeping you awake at night. With renowned leading consultants we will show you not only how to resolve your problems, but turn them into profitable solutions. This practical and inspiring half day event will begin with Dr Barry Stoddart, former Research Fellow with Procter & Gamble. In an exploration of the areas of human psychology and behavior which impede the rapid solution of problems, Dr Stoddart will introduce you to the psychology and philosophy of problem solving through the internationally acclaimed book “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” by Robert M. Pirsig. Our second speaker, Craig Smith of Flint Consulting, will introduce you to Fred: Fred is a penguin who makes a rather unnerving discovery; the iceberg that his colony of penguins refers to as home appears to be melting! Craig will tell you more about Fred and how his story relates to the issues encounted by organisations when faced with the need to change. The story uncovers an interesting side to human nature and looks at what we should be doing to implement change successfully to avoid the traps. The final speaker of the morning is Dave Algeo of Algeo Training Ltd. Dave specialises in creating effective teams and individuals. With over 15 years experience in policing and police leadership, Dave offers consultation and training services aimed at helping teams harness the skills within to maximise performance in high pressure environments. The process of change creates both internal and external turmoil. In this session Dave will help you to manage stress rather than letting it manage you. He will provide you with information and top tips on handling and reducing negative stress in your life. |
