<h2>Creativity for Logical Thinkers</h2><p>Managers and staff in every forward-thinking organisation need to generate new ideas, products, services and processes if they're to maintain their competitive edge. This means that creativity and innovation aren't simply nice-to-have skills - they're essential for success at every level in every organisation. While some people seem 'naturally' creative, in reality innovative thinking can be developed by anyone. This workshop provides a great introduction to the creative process for people who typically work in a more logical way. Participants have lots of opportunities to use proven techniques on their own real work problems and situations. They learn how to challenge existing thinking and generate new ideas - and how to make sure the best of them are captured and implemented.</p><h3>Learning Objectives</h3><p>By the end of this session participants will:</p><ul><li>Understand how the brain shapes our approaches to creativity and innovation</li><li>Have learned some creative techniques they can use to produce new and innovative ideas</li><li>Be able to develop their work through 1% improvements and marginal gains</li><li>Know how to help develop a culture of creativity and innovation in the organisation</li><li>Have increased confidence in their ability to be creative</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, the brain and creativity and innovation</h3><p>Welcome to the virtual session. How the brain works - left and right brain thinking. Facts and research from neuroscience on how our brains 'do' creativity. Freeing yourself from a totally 'rational' approach. Understanding the difference between convergent and divergent thinking. Exploration of 'disruptors' like Netflix, Spotify, Uber and Apple. Agenda and objectives using 'chat'.</p><h3>The Disney strategy</h3><p>A colleague of Disney's used to say, 'There were actually three different Walts: the dreamer, the realist, and the spoiler'. Introduction to the NLP Model 'The Disney Strategy'. It gives logical thinkers a structured process for approaching situations in a new way. Overview of the model and group discussion about how it could be applied in their typical work activities. How to overcome blocks and unleash your imagination.</p><h3>Harnessing the 'dreamer'</h3><p>Challenging the status quo gives you and your company a competitive advantage. Using a series of whole group scenario discussions using 'mic', visual whiteboard activities and virtual break-out rooms, participants practise 'suspending logic' to try different brainstorming activities focussed around methods including post-its, random words, negative brainstorming, mind-mapping, storyboarding and blue-sky brainstorming.</p><h3>Kai-zen and aggregation of marginal gains</h3><p>Encouraging 1% improvements and innovation through marginal gains. The concept of Kai-zen and how this can be applied in any role, anywhere in the business. Individual reflection activities.</p><h3>Developing a culture of creativity</h3><p>Reflection on current culture and discussion of plans for bringing creativity more into the workplace, whatever their role.</p><h3>Action plans and next steps</h3><p>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace. Each person makes a commitment for what they will do differently in a group whiteboard which can be circulated to participants following the session as a reminder of their actions.</p>

<h2>Team Identity Day</h2><p>All teams need to step back periodically and think about direction, where they have been and where they are going.</p><p>If a team is giving cause for concern, whether subjectively in terms of perception or more objectively in terms of its performance metrics, it may well be that the team is not functioning as well as it could with its existing resources. If there is no shared sense of purpose - no vision, no mission - then it is all too likely that energies are not being properly directed, that inefficiencies are arising and that the team is failing.</p><p>Equally, a newly formed team - or a recently restructured one - needs to focus first on the bigger picture before it can get down to the job of service delivery.</p><p>In situations such as this, a team identity day can be invaluable, helping the team establish a sense of direction, of purpose, of identity.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><p>This workshop usually has two very specific outcomes. First, a draft (or revised) vision and mission statements, sometimes expressed as a 'Team Charter'. And secondly, an agreed set of next steps. Individual participants tend to come away from the event, inspired and motivated, with an increased sense of purpose and commitment and a better understanding of their own role as well as that of the team as a whole.</p><section>

Untangle your Data Governance issue and collaborate with your peers during this one-day Mastermind
Discuss Data Governance approaches with people who get it
Are you struggling with a Data Governance issue and wish you had a team of other Data Governance professionals you could bounce it around with?
You’ve done Data Governance training and you know what you’re focusing on. While your team is supportive, you spend a lot of time dealing with, and driving forward, culture change, managing stakeholders, and fielding questions from people who have their own priorities and now need to do this ‘Data Governance stuff’ on top. 
It would be nice, once in a while, to have a conversation about how to achieve something free from internal issues. You want to talk about best practices and get some alternative ideas.
That’s what my Data Governance Mastermind gives you: space to reflect with the support of your peers and practical solutions you can implement.
What is a mastermind?
Mastermind groups are the definition of ‘sharing is caring’. It’s you and your fellow peers – people who do what you do - gathering to brainstorm, problem solve, set goals and be each other’s support network.
At the Data Governance Mastermind, you will meet and learn from other people implementing Data Governance initiatives. 
It’s a one-day event, on Zoom. One of the benefits of attending is you’ll get 30 minutes in the ‘hot seat’ where you can share something you’re struggling with and get input from the group. 
What you can expect during the day
Discussions about different aspects of Data Governance and the opportunity to share what’s worked for you.
Tailored advice specific to your situation from me.
Insights from other people implementing Data Governance about what’s worked for them, what hasn’t worked, and how they have tackled issues.
30 minutes in the hot seat so you can share something you need help with and get practical suggestions from the rest of the delegates.
Time to reflect and share learnings from discussions so you have your key takeaways written down, ready to take back to work with you.
Get to know other Data Governance professionals and build a support network
Get an action plan and confidence to take your next steps with Data Governance
Get ready to discover new ways of approaching your Data Governance challenges, while getting to know professionals from a range of industries.
You will:
Get a clear action plan to take away with you to tackle your specific Data Governance issues.
Develop a wider network of supportive Data Governance professionals, people got your back and will be available to continue to network and ask advice or in the future.
Leave with the confidence that you're not alone in tackling these issues. There are other people going through similar experiences that are willing to help you out.
Is attending a Mastermind right for me? 
Every individual's Data Governance journey is unique. Take my scorecard to determine if my Mastermind programme is the right fit for you and will effectively support your specific needs. You can also find out more about the day on my website.

Discover Calm and Happiness with The SHARE Project: Your Path to Resilience! 🌟
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and stretched to your limit?  With meetings and meltdowns to manage, battles for support, the frustration of feeling isolated or misunderstood, not to mention the pressure of juggling your job too, it can It can feel like you’re running on empty; hard to find a moment to step off the hamster wheel and just breathe.
I’ve been there, and I get it!💛
After being on the brink of burnout myself, I stumbled upon simple, yet life-changing self-help and relaxation tools. These quick, effective techniques helped me rebuild my resilience, reclaim my sense of self and navigate challenges with renewed strength. The transformation was so profound that I knew I had to share it with others—and that’s how The SHARE Project was born.
What is The SHARE Project?
The SHARE Project is built on a simple principle: you need to put your own oxygen mask on first!  By nurturing yourself, you’re better equipped to support your children. Through our four-week, live online workshop series, delivered via Zoom, you’ll discover practical tools to bring more calm and happiness into your daily life.
Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Workshops:  Each week, we’ll introduce and practice a new tool designed to fit seamlessly into your life (just a few minutes a day, I promise!). These are not your typical “luxury spa day” suggestions — because let’s face it, who has time for that?  Instead, you’ll learn sustainable, go-to strategies that you can use anytime, anywhere, to boost your wellbeing, even in the midst of chaos.  You will also receive a mid-week email of encouragement between workshops and printables to help record and track your progress.
Ongoing Support:  In each session, we’ll review your progress, fine-tune your approach, and introduce the next tool.  This isn’t just a one-off workshop; it’s a journey of growth and connection.
Community Connection: You’ll be part of a supportive group of fellow SEN parents and carers who understand the unique challenges you face.  Together, we’ll share experiences, uplift each other, and grow stronger.
What our clients say:
“The SHARE Project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges.  The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.”
“It has helped me to have a more positive outlook day-to-day, and the relaxation has helped with my sleep.”	
“I looked forward to the sessions each week, they gave me time to focus on myself for a change.”
Ready to Feel More Calm and Happy?
If you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel and start reclaiming your joy, The SHARE Project is here for you. Let’s work together to help you feel more at peace, more resilient, and, most importantly, more you.

About this event
This course will be delivered using a mixture of pre-recorded modules, live Zoom calls and online collaborative tools.
A practical approach to Data Governance
One of the biggest challenges with Data Governance is knowing where to even start.
There’s lots of advice available online and in books, but how do you take this huge quantity of sometimes conflicting theory and turn it into something practical? You might have tried sharing some of this theory with your senior stakeholders but you are struggling to articulate what it means to them.
Learn exactly what Data Governance is and how to implement it successfully.
This training consists of two days and you are welcome to join either, or both days. The first day is my Getting Started in Data Governance course, which simplifies the concepts you need to understand to design and implement a Data Governance Framework. You can download the full course curriculum here.
The second day is a Data Governance Clinic. This is a workshop format where attendees get the opportunity to share the challenges they are experiencing with their Data Governance initiatives, get pragmatic solutions, share knowledge, insight and network with others in a similar situation.
Who this training is for:
The course is ideal for Data Governance Managers and their teams who:
wonder how to get their Data Governance initiative started,
want to validate what they have done so far, or
are experiencing challenges with their Data Governance initiative.
