Distractions Distractions Distractions

I am amazed that it is more than 12 months since I have posted anything on this blog. I guess my facination with facebook is partly to blame. Then along comes Twitter too!

I have also been working on a contract since Jan 2008 in Liverpool, which is due to finish on Friday 27th, so that has kept me pretty busy too.

Good news is that I am starting a new contract on 2nd March in Manchester which should last for about 4 months.

Hopefully, I will be more active and will look for items of interest to post here for you.

Bye for now.

My New Logo

Hope you like my new logo - shown in left hand bar.

I gave it some thought and the 3 spheres represent 3 key requisites for competence in continually successfully completing a goal or task...

ATTITUDE ~ SKILL and KNOWLEDGE

or

If any of you have studied John Adair's principles of Action Centred Leadership, the 3 spheres could represent...

TASK~ TEAM and INDIVIDUAL

or...

You could say it's just a load of balls!

Anyway hope you like it.

Some More of Barcelona!

Here are a few more pics of my visit to Barcelona. Top middle was sunrise taken from office balcony. Bottom left is Marvin (no - he wasn't a delegate on the course!)

Out and About in Barcelona

More snaps of Barcelona and Las Ramblas and the street artistes, clowns etc etc...

Sightseeing in Barcelona

Took in some sightseeing in Barcelona with Mark, Debbie and family, who made my stay even more enjoyable!

Barcelona Dec 2nd to 14th 2007

I won't name anyone - in order to protect both the innocent and the guilty!! Apart from the one in the middle drinking the Olympic size G & T (yes - it is me!) Click on photo to enlarge image, then press back button to return to blog.

Working in Barcelona

Just returned from working in Barcelona, where I ran 4 x 2-day workshops on Presentation Skills and Running Effective Meetings.

It was the first time that I have facilitated multi cultural workshops and I would just like to say a big thank you to all the people whom I worked with for making my stay in Barcelona a really rewarding experience.

Secondly, I hope that those of you who attended gained value from the course and that you will put the learning into practise in your day to day roles.

Remember! "If you don't use it - you lose it!" and of course........

Effective Feedback IS The Breakfast Of Champions!"

Thank you also for the family sized gin and tonics, putting up with my senior moments and for your sense of fun whilst also learning.

You all know who you are!
