October news

Have just returned from 2 days in Newcastle delivering Performance Management training...very successfully I hasten to add. I decided to use public transport all the way in an attempt at helping the environment and carbon footprint. Bus, train, metro and foot all went smoothly to get to the hotel and then venue.

My iphone came into it's own as a hand held gps to locate the hotel and venue. I also helped out a couple looking for the Freeman's hospital by using my gps map. How cool is that! In the evening I used Around me to locate restaurants, supermarket etc. Brill.

The journey home wasn't quite so smooth as I arrived at Newcastle station just as the train was leaving...so had to wait an hour. Made the most of it by having a bite to eat. Met a very pleasant business woman on the train though which was an added bonus. Did a little networking. Then when I got to Peterborough I missed the 18.30 bus by minutes too and had another 1 hour wait. This time I enjoyed a glass of wine as I was determined not to get a taxi. Although in hindsight it would have been lovely just to jump in the car and get home.

Business is booming with my Health and Nutrition business too.

I have a business meeting in 30 mins so had better go and prepare.

All the best

Do you know someone who is facing or being made redundant?

I just wanted to share with you that I was made redundant two years ago from an organisation that I had worked with for 25 years. I have experienced the emotional ups and downs and lived to tell the tale. In fact I have turned that negativity into a truly positive situation. I opened my eyes to new possibilities and became aware of the wealth of opportunities around us. The trick is know what you want and then it's amazing what appears.

I have a FREE article my TOP 10 tips for survivng redundancy. If you would like a copy or know of someone who does then contact me at info@noelyne.com to request your FREE article.

Here's to new opportunities

Kind regards,

Why I've not been blogging!

Another milestone achieved! For the last six weeks I have been busy promoting our new Health Wealth and Charisma seminars, which has been a big deal for me.

I successfully delivered a session on Health and Well-being to a group of ladies attending our Health, Wealth and Charisma event in Peterborough last Saturday. And I am really proud of myself!

What’s so fantastic about that? Well, the workshops that I am normally involved in are for Organisations or Companies where I am asked to deliver training and development to a group of Managers to aid their learning and ultimately to improve performance and profits/ achievement of targets. The training can be material provided by the organisation or content that I have designed following a training needs analysis of the situation/problem.

The difference last Saturday is that I was sharing my personal approach to creating Health and Well-being. I chose some key points that I have learned and experienced that have worked for me, to share with the group. I had no idea as to whether this is what they were expecting and or whether they wanted this as I had not met these people before. I was opening myself up to complete strangers who could have chosen to ridicule me. As it happens the feedback was tremendous with each participant having got something from the session.

On reflection I know that I can make it even better, which of course is what I will do when we deliver the next event in February 2009.

Bad news!

It's a well known fact that people are more likely to open e-mails or messages that have bad news in the subject line! I'm pleased it worked :-) and it's a please to connect with you.

I've been busy learning about social networking and search engine optimisation and article writing and all sorts since coming back from holidays so much so that I've neglected my blog. :-( So this is a quick update on what's happening in the Noelyne Jones Coaching world.

I had an exhilarating meeting with my friend and business partner Yvonne Emery last Friday.

We’ve agreed the theme for our next workshop which is in Peterborough on Saturday 29^th November, 2008. It’s a Health, Wealth and Charisma event exclusively for women. I’ll be releasing more details later this week so watch this space!

I have an ongoing ‘To Do’ list which needs my attention too. Next task to complete is for the new website due to be launched soon.

As ever is you want more information and to speak to me please contact me via my website at www.noelyne.com

Summer Holidays

I love them. In fact I love holidays and travelling and just spending time away exploring. This year my family joined me in Devon for three weeks so that I could honour the training contract I agreed to in December 2007.

For the first time ever I have found the holiday a challenge. In that I have not really got to that point of total relaxation and feeling of being totally away from it all. I have been delivering training two days a week, which I also love to do however, it has totally disrupted the holiday for my partner and his boys. This has increased the stress levels. Added to the challenge of keeping two very energetic boys entertained and happy, has meant sleepless nights, despite copious amounts of Rose wine and the odd glass of cider. Well it is Summer after all. And of course, I have not been able to sit out on the veranda of an evening to watch the sunset. I'm in Devon remember, heavy rain and gales!

What have I learned?

I need to keep the amount of time devoted to working whilst on holiday to a minimum i.e. 20 mins daily to check e-mails. I need easy access to the internet to do this. I need slightly more sunshine than 5 hours in a three week period! Next year will be a holiday in the sun in a 5 star hotel with full access to the internet and all the other trimmings. Thank you!

Did some spectacular walks on Dartmoor though and will definitely come back. Have fallen in love!

Speak soon
