Competition!

This month, we are offering the opportunity to win a place on a Thinking Styles Accreditation.

This is a great opportunity to further your training to include a really great tool which you can offer your clients.

Thinking Styles identifies how thinking preferences drive behaviour and communication style and provide insights into how these preferences affect the cognitive strategies and social relationships of people at work.

It provides a comprehensive report for feedback and is currently being used in a wide variety of settings, ranging from a major UK bank, to a number of county councils, and from leadership development to sports training.

The training takes place on 13-14 June in the beautiful setting of Rutland Water.  If you are interested in this free place, we will be collecting names and putting them in a hat.  The first to be picked on Wednesday 31st May, will win the place.

An Ipswich man has taken out a £1m insurance policy to guard against stress following England being knocked out of the world cup early.  The policy will pay out if it can be proved that his stress and trauma level is raised after England get knocked out of the tournament.  The policy cost him £100.
