A green end to the week!

Another busy week. Now trying to juggle the end of the week tasks, those emails that really shouldn't wait over the weekend and the keeping up to date with the filing. And this blog of course.

Finished training one of our own NLP practitioner courses last Friday, an 8 day, full - on, training experience for George and our delegates. I know a lot of laughing went on, as the reception staff at The Racquet Club kept asking "What are you doing in there?" as there was such a lot of giggling and guffawing going on. The best laugh of the week was when the group invented a new NLP technique, based on The Milton Model, only using such cheesy expressions it had to be re-named The Stilton Model. We hope this will become a mature addition to the cheeseboard of NLP, with grateful thanks to Ryan.

We've had a number of enquiries this week about our Presentation Skills courses, which reminded me to update the website. We'll be running for a maximum of 10 delegates on 11th and 12th May. I have 2 places reserved already, so contact me soon to ensure your place.

Been struggling with our software again this week. We upgraded our Adobe suite, an absolutely essential tool for our documents, photography and web site development. I'm not even going to relate the sorry tale of spectacularly bad customer service from Adobe with regard to the purchase which swallowed up 2 days with telephone calls and emails.

The new version makes updating the website much easier and will help with the photography we do (when I can get time to concentrate on learning all the new features), but the pdf maker has disappeared from Word.

Gone.

POOF.

Just like that!

There seems to be no coaxing it back and no amount of cajoling or sweet-talking is having any effect. We've run "repair made", reinstalled, restarted and all to no avail. The up side is, that while George has sat and deepened his frown lines all afternoon (we know it's serious when I vacate my seat and allow him "at" my machine) I've got to grips with a huge pile of filing and filled a bag with paper recycling. So I'm feeling quite green and calm.

All in all, a good week, I always enjoy sending the licence agreements off to The US, having trained another bunch of people in the subtle art of NLP.

Better go, need to pack a child off to cub camp!

More news next week,

The first 2010 Blog

First of all, Happy New Year, I hope 2010 is as exciting for you as I'm expecting it to be for me. I've neglected the blog a bit recently, which just shows, I suppose, how busy we've been.

We're just putting the final arrangements together for the 1st February Taster evening, feel free to email and book your place now through the website www.nlpliverpool.com, where you'll find all the information as we have it.

The New Year started well, with an unexpected bonus of 3 day's extra holiday for the children. What could we do, but embrace the opportunity to enjoy the first decent snow in about 30 years, and go sledging. I am the proud possessor of bruises I couldn't possibly show anyone! I've finally learnt to embrace opportunities when they present - the old me would have stuck to my schedule without wavering.

So we're putting in more than a couple of late nights in the office (with the fire on - I know we're green ambassadors but it's still quite chilly) now everyone's back at school.

I'm overhauling the website little by little, and we'll be putting together some exciting new courses for later in the year, so keep watching.

Do keep following and I look forward to hearing from you,

Julie

P.S. Take life's opportunities, even if they do give you bruises!
