Inspirational Speakers - May 2023
Summer seems to have arrived… finally! The great thing about having a remote business is that we can work wherever the sun takes us.
For our team this month that has included Norway, London, Devon and the back garden!
We have a selection of incredible new speakers to introduce, and have been enjoying building our relationships with all our speakers – including days out to watch speakers in action.

Action Jackson came to Harris Academy Bermondsey and restored the hope in our students. He got them to focus on their “Whys?” which caused them to understand that the GCSE’s were just a part of the journey to their “ bigger picture”. As a result of this, their faith was renewed, and they have said that they feel as if there is purpose during this stressful time. We are grateful.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
THE CRAZY BUSY CURE - ZENA EVERETT
A PRODUCTIVITY BOOK FOR PEOPLE WITH NO TIME FOR PRODUCTIVITY BOOKS
How we spend our time is one of the greatest indicators of how successful we will be. We achieve our goals when we ruthlessly prioritise tasks and people that are important to us.
This book is for you if:
* You feel unrelentingly busy and overwhelmed.
* 3pm arrives and you’ve not done any of the tasks you intended.
* When you’re not working, you’re still ‘on’ – checking emails and always thinking about what you haven’t done.
* You over-commit and find it hard to say no.
* You sacrifice your own priorities for disorganised people’s urgent demands.
* Meetings, emails, and constant interruptions suck the life out of you.
Your HR department’s emails about wellness week are the final straw: meditation won’t help your wellbeing, less meetings would.
The Crazy Busy Cure is full of intensely practical tips to save you from this addiction and get productive again. It will show you how to have a laser focus on your priorities, manage others so they can get on with the work and find more head space. With tips for remote working and office working alike as well as productivity hacks for people with learning and thinking differences, this lively read is jam packed with solutions.
