I've found that blogging is a nice way to finish the week. It helps me get my thoughts in order,(always a good thing) I can review what I've achieved (again, a good thing) and then put together a plan and a list for next week. That doesn't mean that I wont spend at least a few hours over the weekend just keeping on top of emails and generally getting my desk straight for next week!
We've had a number of private clients this week, a couple of meetings and numerous enquiries regarding the Taster next weekend, the presentation skills course at the end of February and the certified NLP Practitioner in March.
We went to our first Chamber of Commerce lunch this week, we've been Chamber members for at least 3 years, but never been free to attend an event. We are determined this year to make more networking events, so as soon as the programme arrived, we made space in the diary. It was very enjoyable, well run and well attended, we met some really good new contacts. It's good to get out and network, particularly when you work in a niche business like ours.
I've been really busy today, I've put the final figures to the VAT return (and submitted it - always a relief) and sent the reminder mailing for next week's NLP Taster event. If you'd like a place see www.nlpliverpool.com/taster.php and make your booking as soon as possible. Only 8 places left at time of writing, so better be quick!
This weekend it's the RSPB's big garden birdwatch, so I''ll be spending an hour or so, just looking at the bird life in the garden. Very therapeutic.
Until next time, enjoy your weekend

Happy 2011 to you all
Middle of January already, I'll admit I've got a bit behind with my blog, so welcome to my first 2011 post.
Christmas seems a distant memory, I didn't realise how much I would miss looking out on green grass, we had spectacular snow here and -17 degree cold to keep it for 10 days. We've got some great photos to remind us, I somehow don't anticipate seeing that much snow here for a while.
I have to admit, I'd been struggling to get onto the blog, and had a couple of recent attempts before having to break off and do something more important. These days we all have a couple of email accounts and the PC was defaulting to the wrong one - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
We've had an interesting start to the year, a number of clients wanting to make personal and work changes, a day of Nordic Walking with Allen Ward at Delamere Forest, and planning for our next major event, which is the NLP Taster day on Saturday 5th February. See www.nlpliverpool.com for details.
In the meantime we've given the website a very cursory dust over - we keep promising a major re-vamp but there's never time, for which I am very grateful. Updating all the prices to take into account the new VAT rate was irksome, so I'm hoping it stays at that level for a while.
This year's aims include spending more time networking, even if that means juggling more tasks into the evenings and putting some more work in the direction of our babysitter.
The next practitioner course will be 18th - 25th March, with courses booked already for June and October, so register your interest now and we'll keep you posted with our news and any special offers.
We continue to offer 1 to 1 coaching by phone or in person, and even offer a skype option to our international clients.
Keep visiting and recommending the blog, we look forward to meeting you at one of our events.
Keep well
Julie
