A Year in the Making!

February 16, 2012

This week sees the mastermind group for Suffolk, one year old and it was a great meeting. Moving it from a Sunday to an 8.30am start during the week was a bit of a shock to some of the members, 4 of whom could not make it - bad diary management! But hopefully they will remember for next month! We had 2 guests who both found the morning "A useful spending of my time" and are thinking of becoming members. So from next month, we will have a new format, which we tried out today. It consisted of 3 hours of really interactive work, helping each other in discussions and brainstorming sessions, as well as co-coaching and working in pairs. This months theme was public relations concentrating on messages via media. At the end of the first session, each member had written up a press release for their product and to an editor of a relevant publication. Good work! We hope to grow the Platinum Group so please contact me, if you are interested in having that support. Imagine watching your business grow as well as helping other coaches, consultants and trainers grow theirs! Some of my members are not coaches but provide a service nevertheless. Come and try us out in Ipswich and sign up here on the right. Until the next time...

Last meeting for 2011

December 05, 2011

I cannot believe that it's nearing the end of 2011, nor the fact that it's nearly a year since we launched the Suffolk APCTC mastermind group.

It's not been an easy ride to get everything exactly how we wanted but we have come such a long way in the last few months.

Why You Should Join Our Mastermind Group

November 18, 2011

I have just finished preparing for Sundays mastermind group and as usual, I am really excited about how much my members will benefit from another great speaker and a coaching session from me. If you provide a service then you can't afford not to be surrounded by a group of like minded people who you can learn from, support and use as a sounding board. This is what we have covered so far since we started in Feb 2011: Know your niche Develop your USP How to use social media Write a marketing strategy Learn how to make a product to sell Website enhancements How to write compelling copy Making the most of LinkedIn Using twitter and blog to best effect Co-coaching concepts Branding (this week) On top of that we have access to my colleague Dan Bradbury and faculty members of APCTC such as the fantastic Topher Morrison, Andy Harrington, Jarek Robbins and many more. free membership to Association of Professional Coaches Trainers and Consultants is automatic when you join my group. And my members have enjoyed attending Dans conferences, the last one in September being FANtastic! And the real beauty is that you can try it for free once, before making your mind up. What more can I give you in order for you to get more clients and make more profit? Book your place on this website or call me 01473 682760

Branding and this weeks mastermind meeting

November 16, 2011

This Sunday sees our ninth meeting since the mastermind group formed and things are hotting up! Our guest speaker is Ivan Newman from Living In the Brand who is a much valued friend and colleague. He will be talking about branding and then we will coach members on how to enhance their brand within their businesses. I know this is going to be so useful and powerful. This year will be the only times I will be letting in first time visitors for free. So make the most of this fabulous opportunity to listen to a branding expert. There will also be the usual question and answer session for members to support, offer advice or assist. This is the most valued part of our meeting and some great ideas have come forth. We continue to share knowledge between sessions and in fact my members get to attend my other workshops for free or with a huge discount. Sign up on my page here and look forward to seeing you!

Conference Success!

September 30, 2011

This is a quick note just so that I can show my appreciation to Dan, Kevin, fellow leaders and faculty members for the best conference I have ever attended. And that was before the end of Sunday as I had to leave early on the final day. The content was bright, more than useful, fun, creative and motivational. It really was a wow weekend. I am already putting lots into practice and will keep you informed of the fruits of my endeavours. Looking forward to sharing it with my mastermind members that were unable to attend this time. Enjoy the beautiful weather all, until the next time......

How are your Goals?

August 17, 2011

Now that summer is nearly over and we are speeding towards the end of the year, how are your goals shaping up for your business?

I generally feel that it is not so important to achieve them as to have them in the first place. A sense of knowing where one is going can be inspirational when guided by goal-setting but it is equally important to review and change strategy if intuition tells us so.

Happy Holidays

July 28, 2011

The Suffolk group will be meeting for a breakfast coaching session in the month of August, as we are a bunch of optimists that think the sun will shine every weekend! The purpose of the session will be purely coaching, a time for everyone to take stock of the progress made since we started the group in February, of which there has been so much to celebrate. All the guests and speakers have noted the great family atmosphere within the group and the standard of training coaching and support that each member receives. And that is just the beginning! So we are back with our usual meetings on 4th September with another great speaker who will show us how to write compelling copy, and I would love to hear from you in the meantime. Feel free to express your needs and wish list that you would love to benefit from our mastermind group in Ipswich. Dan and the other group leaders also would love to meet you at the next conference in September. Watch this space for full details.........

Working The Crowd

July 21, 2011

Had a great meeting at the Suffolk group on Sunday, welcoming new guests and listening to Eileen Brown talking about the importance of social media.

All members are now tweeting or planning to open up a twitter account any time soon as I think the benefits were more than proved in Eileen's presentation.

Successes!

May 25, 2011

The mastermind Group meeting 22nd May 2011 turned out to be the best yet. It was buzzy, creative, fun and so so useful. The workshop style and circle work is proving to be a winner with all the members and feedback has been great. All members have now either started a book or are developing a product and the support being given to each other is phenomenal! I thank them all for their commitment to this group.

This week we had a marketing workshop to instigate great ideas for social media and websites, a session on Action Learning from one of the members and a pool of ideas in a round robin session on every member's barriers to progress or general questions.

Spring Clean Your Business!

April 26, 2011

Easter is one of the most special public holidays of the year and my personal favourite.

As the mornings and evenings grow lighter and as the last of the frosts disappear, there is a great feeling of a new beginning.  This is also a great time of year to look back at those New Year resolutions, to review progress and to take any corrective action needed. It is the time to clear away the clutter in our lives and in our heads to make way for exciting challenges.

Anticipation!

February 11, 2011

I love the excitement of anticipation and all the hopes and challenges that the word suggests.

This Sunday is the launch of the Suffolk Mastermind Group at the Holiday Inn in Ipswich and I have been heartened by the positive response I've received when sending out the invitations. It seems that a group like this is much needed, and wanted, in this area, for new and experienced professionals alike, and so I am really looking forward to delivering the first session with Dan.
