Personal Goal Setting

Jenny Evans and Liz Scott
Rainbows End Business & Life Coaching
www.rainbowsend.uk.net

‘Do you feel that you aren’t getting exactly what you want out of life? That things are not quite in harmony? That you have difficulty in setting and achieving goals? If so, the Rainbows End Life Coaching workshop is the perfect place for you to start to make major improvements your life. The workshop, led by coaches Jenny Evans and Elizabeth Scott provides a taste of life coaching and will enable you to think about how your life is going, what it is that you really want and to give yourself a pat on the back for achieving what you have so far.  You will use some tools and try out some exercises that you can take away with you and use in your everyday life. 

It won’t be like an individual coaching session, so if you are comfortable to express how you truly feel about things, please feel free to, however if you would prefer to do the exercises using examples and not your own experiences then that is fine.

So come and join us on the 24th, learn a little about life coaching and a lot about yourself.’

HOW TO CREATIVELY EMPLOY PEOPLE

Christine Mordue, Durham University (Student Employment Service)
www.dur.ac.uk/ses

There are not enough hours in the day. It’s difficult to cope with the routine stuff let alone all those bright ideas you have for developing the business.

There are days when you wonder how or where you can find somebody who is willing to work enthusiastically as and when you want them. You can not be in three places at once - some days are just manic. Well help is at hand, there’s a local service which can help you to find the help you require for a few hours, a few days, regularly or periodically.

During the presentation Christine will explain about a useful resource through which other local employers have found talented employees to work with minimal supervision for limited hours giving them more time to take their business forward. What’s more it’s a service which costs nothing other than the wages for the person you employ.
