<h2>Assertiveness: In-House</h2><p>When people are assertive they portray a strong, confident image and can put their views across while still taking other people's opinions into account.</p><p>Non-assertive, passive aggressive or aggressive behaviour can cause misunderstandings, frustration and even a breakdown in relationships at work.</p><p>In this highly practical session participants discover how effective body language, voice, and the words they say make a big difference to the results they get. Importantly, they learn how to build confidence that leads to assertive behaviour more of the time. And how to disagree without being disagreeable!</p><ul><li>Recognise the differences between assertive, aggressive and passive behaviour</li><li>Understand the impact your behaviour has on people</li><li>Make assertive requests - and follow up effectively</li><li>Say 'no', where appropriate</li><li>Be more assertive in meetings</li><li>Give negative feedback - without giving offence</li></ul><section>

<p>'Team identity' is an umbrella term that describes a team in terms of its vision, purpose, values, objectives and approach; in fact, everything that makes it unique. It brings a shared sense of what is important and what the team wants to achieve together. Building a team identity is an important step in enhancing commitment, trust, synergy and collaboration within the team.</p>
<p>This workshop provides an opportunity for your team to work together as 'one HR team' and begin the journey of creating a team identity. It enables participants to reflect on where the team has been, where it is going and how the team is perceived by the business. The workshop highlights existing strengths within the team, builds on and reinforces other initiatives being undertaken and supports the team in identifying practical steps that will help improve team effectiveness, create a team charter and enhance the value HR adds.</p>
<p>Underpinning the event is an analysis of how effectively the team is currently working together. This is typically achieved through the completion of a Team Effectiveness Survey before the event or a SWOT analysis on the day. If the survey is used, participants are asked to complete the survey before the training day and the feedback is collated by us and anonymised before being fed back on the day.

HR Team Identity Day

<h2>From Team Member to Team Leader: In-House</h2><h3>What are you letting yourself in for?</h3><p>Organisations constantly give people their first line management role because the individual has been identified as being good at their day job, not necessarily being good with people.</p><p>People skills are a very different skillset from dealing with processes and tasks. Managing people can be the best job in the world, or the worst. No-one tells you what it's like until you find out for yourself. &amp;'You'll be fine' is all you may get.</p><p>This programme is your opportunity to find out in advance what you might be letting yourself in for and whether it's right for you - whether at this stage in your career, a bit later, or perhaps never. This can save you and your organisation time, effort and heartache.</p><p>You'll find out what's needed to transition from team member to team leader. You'll learn what are the characteristics of good managers and see how you think you'll measure up. You'll discover what to look out for in the early days - what are the most common pitfalls awaiting the new manager and how can you avoid them?</p><p>It's a very practical programme which will boost your confidence in managing people and help make the learning curve a little less steep as you transition from team member to team leader. It will help you develop the skills you will need for the rest of your career - it might well be the most useful programme you ever attend!</p><h3>What's in it for you?</h3><ul><li>Have a benchmark for what great managers do and don't do - see how you measure up</li><li>Discover the pitfalls to look out for and develop strategies to deal with them</li><li>Identify your development areas to lead others effectively</li><li>Understand the importance of body language when communicating with your team - learn what to do, what not to do</li><li>Know how to deal with challenging employee behaviours</li><li>Find out what are the most common management dilemmas and how to deal with them</li><li>Boost your confidence for stepping up to management - or consider why it might not be for you</li></ul><section>

Introduction to Mindful Photography with Rebecca, founder of Mindful Photography UK.

Join us on Mon Sep 23 2024 at 18:30 GMT for a unique experience that combines mindfulness and photography. We deliberately keep our sessions limited to small numbers so that we all have a chance to talk to each other and have interactive discussion.

In this online session, Rebecca will guide you through the art of capturing moments with intention and awareness. Learn how to slow down, observe your surroundings, and create beautiful images that reflect your thoughts and feelings. No prior experience required, just bring your camera or smartphone and an open mind.

Don't miss this opportunity to explore the world through a new lens!

Sign up now to secure your online spot.

Here is some feedback from a recent session we ran this springtime. I think you will agree these are big changes and we are so proud to be part of them!

I felt the session was really inclusive.
I feel more mindful and in the present moment.
The process is transferable and “you can do it anywhere”.
I feel my wellbeing is supported, and I feel more in control.
I understand myself better, I accept myself.
It supports my creativity and self-expression which I hadn’t always fully acknowledged.
I realise I had a fear of making mistakes, but by being in a group I feel so supported.
I feel more physically active.
I feel more self-aware and have increased my self-knowledge.
I feel more empowered to do things and make changes in my life and in my community.






Frequently asked questions
What is your refund policy?
We can accept cancellations up until 48 hours before we begin. We regret, as we are a small CIC, that we cannot take cancellations via email but ask that you log into Eventbrite to cancel your ticket should it be necessary.
Do I need any special equipment?
No, you need something to take a photograph on, a valid email address and a strong internet connection so that we can communicate over zoom. You would benefit from downloading an app called www.padlet.com to your device but this is not essential. The extension project is entirely optional.
What happens after the week long project is finished?
You will be invited into a community project or if you live in North Yorkshire you might like to book a 1:1 session with me. Personalised sessions start at £49:99 per person.
Do I have to be a photographer?
Absolutely not, we assume no prior experience of photography.
Is this like therapy?
We are not therapists but the process has a gentle and calming effect upon your wellbeing. We will be engaging in simple tasks to encourage mindfulness. We do ask that you are well and happy to engage in a small group session online. We embody respect in our work and we ask that you do the same.
Will you be using my images?
We never share your images unless you specifically ask for us to. Your image and copyright remains your own.
Can I share your lesson content?
We are a community interest company called Mindful Photography UK CIC and all images, wording, content, intellectual property are trademarked and copyrighted by Mindful Photography UK 2024. We ask that you respect our livelihood and do not share our lessons and content.

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.
