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.

Thanks to those who listened to the business slot on Swindon 105.5 last night. I enjoyed chatting to the presenter about the benefits of coaching and the Swindon Coaching Team in particular, and the hour passed really quickly. It is a strange feeling being in a small room and not knowing how many people “out there” are listening. It makes me admire successful presenters all the more!

Richard Hovey has been invited again as a guest on Swindon 105.5 Radio at 6pm on 10th May when he’ll be talking about coaching and about the Swindon Coaching Team. You can listen online at http://www.swindon1055.com/

The team are getting together on Tuesday 18th May for our next free drop-in event which is being held at the National Trust Cafe and Restaurant next to the McArthur Glen Outlet Village in Swindon (Kemble Drive, SN2 2NA). This will be a lunchtime event from 12.30 to 2.00 pm so if you work nearby, are out on a shopping spree or would like to add some interest to your lunchtime, then come and take the opportunity to combine coffee or a snack with an informal chat with us. We’ll have our team ready to help you explore new ways to effect change and deal with the things in life that aren’t working out quite as you would like.

See you there!
