WEBINAR - Goals and goal setting
Goals are ‘dreams with legs’ – they motivate us and drive us forward.
Goal-setting shifts us from a negative problem-focused mindset into a positive mindset, and ‘where focus goes, energy flows’. This session draws on research from the worlds of psychology, neuroscience and coaching to explore the power of goals and how to structure them to get the results that we really want.

WEBINAR - Break the Bias Masterclass
Many of our decision making is based on instinctive, unconscious bias. Within business this could impact our ability to make effective decisions. In this powerful session we discover why we rely too much on instinctive choices; why we stereotype others and provide solutions for making better decisions in future. This session challenges people to recognise we ALL have biases, why we have them and what steps we can all make in order to make better business decisions. This is a powerful way to demonstrate the power of an inclusive workplace.
