After our enjoyable event there in March, we are returning to The Old Bank wine bar in Swindon on Thursday 1st July.

Drop in anytime between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. to meet with one or more of our friendly coaches who you can chat with over a glass of wine or cup of coffee in an informal yet confidential setting.

The address is Wood Street, Old Town, SN1 4AB. Contact us if you need more info. See you there!

As well as meeting some of our team, this is a great opportunity to find out what coaching is about and/or experience some (free) coaching on issues that are current to you. It’s all very relaxed and could provide the insights or impetus that you are looking for in 2010 and beyond – all for no more than the price of a drink.

The coaches in our team are available to help you to make the most of your work and life, but they also have areas of specialisation, to so you can:

• move your business forward
• enhance your career
• improve your relationships
• reduce the stress in your life

Football fans may wish to note that July 1st is scheduled to be a World Cup rest day!

The team are going to be at the Swindon Connections networking event on Thursday 8th July – last one I went to was fun and interesting and well worth attending. The next one is at the Maddison Hotel in Swindon , you can find out more and register following this link http://www.business-scene.com/event_detail.php?e=13372.

It’s good to be continuing to connect with the people we have got to know at our coaching “drop-ins.”

This week I enjoyed over an hour’s coaching in the Wiltshire sunshine with a local business owner and I think that in the process I learned just as much from his experience. The joys of coaching!

We enjoyed our first coaching event at the National Trust HQ in Swindon, Tuesday lunchtime, and we’re pleased with how it went. We liked their spacious, welcoming, and friendly site and we made use of the ground floor café – popular with shoppers and local business people as well as National Trust staff – as our venue.

Our aim is to give more people in the Swindon area the opportunity to find out what coaching is about and experience its benefits. There was interest in what we were doing amongst visitors and staff, and we were able to have a significant number of helpful conversations, which is a good start.

We have been looking for a venue that is comfortable both for people who travel there to meet us, and those who take an interest because we are there. It looks like this fits the bill, so we look forward to using it again, and developing our relationship with the National Trust.

The joint event last night in Swindon with BNI and the Swindon Coaching Team went really well. There were about thirty people there (I lost count) who enjoyed Paul Clegg’s engaging talk on building businesses using referrals and social networking, speed networking, and conversations with our coaches.

Great! Watch this space for future events.
