CORPORATE WORKSHOPS
PEOPLE - THE DRIVING FORCE IN YOUR WORKPLACE
So... what can we do for your organisation?
Are your staff enthusiastic and inspired to achieve the best results for your organisation?
Do they feel valued? Is morale really as high as it could be?
If you feel your staff would benefit from a real boost of motivation and self-empowerment, then why not offer them an experience which will leave them feeling positive, inspired and optimistic about themselves, their employment, their lives and futures too?
There are several ways in which we can help you:-
Tailored Interactive Workshops
Motivational Talks
One-to-One Executive Coaching
If you have something specific in mind that you wish me to cover, then simply provide a brief outline of the outcome you wish to achieve and we will tailor the workshop or talk to your organisation's needs.
Organisations that we have provided workshops and talks for include: -
Highland Council Social Work Services
Highland Council Education Services
Warwickshire County Council
National Childrens' Homes

Some recent testimonials....
Hello Di, Thank you so much for such a wonderful and uplifting day. Everyone is buzzing with it! I know that your workshop has been highly beneficial to all and I will be forwarding the information that you have kindly sent on to our entertainers who are now in various parts of the country and about to start their first night for 2009. I have a feeling that you will be hearing from just about everyone during the course of the year. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and I look forward to the opportunity of inviting you to run another workshop for us and also to visiting one of your weekend events. Wishing you a fantastic 2009. With love from us all Anne George, MD, Trevor George Entertainments Ltd.
Di and Andrew, I am writing to thank you both for your major contribution to the County Council’s Partnerships and Communities Team away day on 12th March 2009. The day was a success and we achieved our objective of providing an opportunity for members of the team to be challenged to think differently about the way that they tackle the problems that they are faced with in their working lives. Many people were initially uncomfortable in being challenged not just to think about the managerial and organisational solutions to the issues that they are faced with at work, but also to think about the way that they personally respond to those issues. However, as the day went on it was clear that people warmed to the idea and eventually relished the challenge of understanding how their state of mind, their beliefs and their attitudes could make an immense impact on the way that they responded to work issues and challenges and to life generally.’m sure we all took away from the event new ideas and concepts that will be of real value to us in the future. Thanks again, Regards PH, Warwickshire County Council

Feedback From our One Day Workshop with Spice
“The best workshop I've ever attended with Spice - I think that says it all”.
“The whole day was excellent - I really enjoyed it! I have seen Di and Andy elsewhere and already have got the book. I also employ some of their philosophies which is why I like to learn more. I don't know how this event could be improved it was already excellent!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the feel the fear and do it anyway workshop. The trainers were both inspirational and inspiring. After having read the book a few years ago, have since revisited it and purchased Susan Jeffers 2nd book 'End the struggle and dance with life' and as a result of this feel able to cope with more difficult situations both at work and life in general”.
“Really enjoyed the Feel the Fear workshop on Sunday. The presenters were great, they created a relaxed atmosphere and responded well with the group. Having read the book I felt that this was a good way to further that experience but was equally as useful for someone who had not”.
“I left the day feeling inspired and motivated, having had the time over the course of the workshop to reflect on my life, what I was doing and how I could move on. A great start to the year”.
“Dear Di and Andy, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the Workshop you gave yesterday at Lea Marston Hotel. Having read the book in it's entiretly six years ago, it was a life changing experience. I have come so far during this time but like many things in life, we all start off with good intentions to continue with what we have learnt and to put it into practice, every now and again we have a wake up call and your workshop certainly was the Wake up Call I needed.”
“I feel better about my life already, I am writing an A-Z of daily affirmations personalised around my life in order to get my day off on the right footing... What a good start to the day!”
“I return to work tomorrow and will no longer apologise for interrupting the 'boss' when I need to speak to her. It was certainly an eye opener when I realised how many times during the day I apologise to people and for what?, Not anymore.”
“I will Feel the Fear and practice my public speaking, whether it be in a meeting at work or a workshop I'm attending... So what if it doesn't quite go as planned, I'm in a winning situation just for doing it.”
“A HUGE Thank you to you both and Susan Jeffers, A True Life Saver :-)”
“I would recommend this course to almost anyone but especially to those who are feeling a bit 'stuck'. A chance to stop, think and re-evaluate. Thank you”.
“Really enjoyed Feel the Fear ..and do it anyway. Some really good techniques for helping you take control and stopping fear from restricting your life. Also good ways of helping you make difficult decisions by turning them into win-win situations. I found the section on forgiving people and letting go of anger, bitterness and hurt, very powerful. I would definitely recommend this course to others”.
Did the event write up match the event? Yes
How was the co-ordinator/supplier on the event? No specific co-ordinator, but course tutors did fine job. No co-ord required for this event.
Did you enjoy the event as a whole? Yes, very much. Highly recommended. One of the better courses.
Was the event value for money? Definitely. Superb value for money given price of doing it 'private'. I always think in general the Spice courses are one of the best value types of events in Spice.
Would you recommend this event to others? Definitely.
“An excellent, and well run event”.
“Hi Diane and Andy, I have just returned from your Spice workshop today 10th January 2010. I really enjoyed it. It was motivational and inspiring. I will be recommending this workshop to others.”
“A VERY BIG thank you for today”.
