Our guest speaker this month will be Zoryna O’Donnell of L&M Plus Consulting who will be talking about building resilience to stress.
Stress in the workplace is one of the major contributing factors in poor mental health which has enormous personal and socio-economic cost. This includes a large annual cost to employers of between £33 billion and £42 billion with over half of the cost coming from presenteeism (when individuals are less productive due to poor mental health in work) and additional costs from sickness absence and staff turnover. Yet there are many simple and cost-effective interventions that employers can use to help employees deal with stress, improve their mental resilience and performance. Zoryna will share with you insights into these interventions and useful tips and techniques – some of which you will have a chance to experience during her presentation.

Low-cost seminar for leaders of service-providing firms concerned about marketing.
Almost all your potential customers (clients) check your website at some stage before contacting you in person. In B2B purchases, people do more pre-contact research than they used to – partly because websites now provide so much info. It’s sensible, and you probably do that too.
But search engines have moved the goalposts over the years. Continuously. And almost silently.
Google & Bing etc update their inner workings almost daily. So it’s important to review your marketing messages from time to time, to keep pace… or be left behind.
The 5 most important pages on your website are very likely not what you used to think they were.
This seminar will explain the new priority order, the best content, and invisible advert components to help you get the best results from your website.
