APRIL 2010
A leading practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming gave out some top tips on one of today's current buzz words - 'Emotional Intelligence'.
Kate Rigby who runs a management consultancy is an experienced trainer and group facilitator in the area of culture and attitude change management, as well as being a qualified counsellor and Master Practitioner of NLP.
Kim Gilmour, publicity officer said: "Kate gave us a fascinating presentation on how we process information depending on a whole set of criteria from our experiences to our perceptions, culture and upbringing. This means if you can communicate with people understanding that they may perceive your approach in many different ways it can be useful and give you the edge in business. A lot of this involves listening more skillfully to what people are saying and changing the way you communicate on a more individual basis."
The next meeting will be on April 12th (first Monday is a Bank Holiday) and will be a presentation by Sandra Ball, aka the Lavender Lady. Sandra will be talking all things Lavender, the various types, its properties and the items that she makes and sells. Sandra tours the country promoting Lavender.
Find out how she made her passion into a business by joining the Shropshire Business Women at 7.15pm for 7.30pm at the Buckatree Hall Hotel (see downloads for directions). First time visitors are welcome free of charge, complimentary refreshments are served.

in the run up to the Posh Frocks evening, Carolyn Hills of Colour Me Beautiful gave a very interesting talk about matching people to colours and getting fabulous results. Carolyn demonstrated how wearing the right colours, and the right shades of colour, can truly enhance the way people look. Apparently it takes a few seconds for people to make a judgement about someone based purely on their appearance, before they've had a chance to speak a word with 93% of a first impression based on how we look and only 7% on what we say! So, in the world of business, especially job interviews, Carolyn's advice proved very valuable.
Carolyn is available for individual as well as group consultations. To find out more about Colour Me Beautiful, including their beauty products, extensive range of services to business as well as individuals and get copies of their newsletter, go to www.colourmebeautiful.co.uk.
