Focus

My dad, in his time, has uttered some wise words to me.  Whilst teaching me the finer points of driving he said that, should I ever get in to trouble, always focus on where you want your car to end up (ideally in a car sized space), rather than do what seems to come natural and have your attention glued to the object you’re hoping to miss, because if you do that you’ll hit it.

In the conversations I have there is one that looks a bit like this..

Client "This is what I don’t want to happen…. and I’ve been thinking about how I make sure it doesn’t happen…."

Me "Do you know what you do want to happen and how you can make that happen?"

Client "Yes, but I’m concerned because I really don’t want blah to a happen…"

When you know what you want or where you want to be - then focus on that.  You’ll be significantly more productive.

From Apprentice to Entrepeneur

On the 14th May I’m giving a talk for the Chartered Management Institute, where I’ll be sharing my thoughts on Entrepreneurship.  It’s at the Ramada hotel in Chester and begins at 18:30.   Here’s the abstract and contact information.

‘Who you are and what you stand for are just as important as what you sell’

Want to be more creative, more productive, increase your motivation and build strong relationships?

During times of uncertainty or rapid change, to have a strong sense of self provides core stability, which guides us in making the right decisions.

Business Owner, International coach and mentor Ruth Sanderson will be presenting ‘From Apprentice to Entrepreneur’ on 14th May 2008 at the Ramada Hotel in Chester (6.30 p.m. start).

Entrepreneurs have a mindset that’s totally different to an employed or self-employed person, however many people don’t make the leap because they are seeking new results but with the old mindset. 

Forward thinking Leaders of Business are now taking a closer look at their leadership style and corporate culture, knowing it’s these that hold the key to success and longevity.

Ruth’s talk will explore these principles and you will leave with some thought provoking ideas on the impact your mental approach to business, combined with your leadership will have on future business success.

Ruth has a global client base, specialises in the ‘hot topic’ areas of cultural transformation, leadership development and personal communication, and is one of the few certified practitioners of Archetypal Applications. 

This will be a fabulous evening, and we are expecting heavy demand for tickets, to book your place email salmoore3@tiscali.co.uk or call David Jamieson on 01244 368 748 with any queries.

Hope to see you there….
