Are you ready for Christmas 2021?
Are you ready for Christmas 2021?

Hello my superstars,

How are you?

Random question but does some song start playing in your head when you think of Christmas? For some reason, the song- ‘Driving home for Christmas’ by Chris Rea starts playing in my head as soon as I think of Christmas! What is your song?

Sorry, I digressed there but anyway the reason why I have popped along here is to share with you our lovely Christmas programmes with you. I am honestly super excited about these activities we have created because we have put in a lot of hard work, thought and creativity into this and we can’t wait to actually run these activities over the next few weeks for our clients! It is going to be EPIC!

But our Programme guide is not the only thing I am sharing here…we have also put together an INFORMATION GUIDE to help you plan and deliver your Christmas Celebrations if you were to choose to do it by yourselves! (how could you!;-p)

See below a few quick suggestions to help you to get started with your Christmas team event planning-

Wellbeing and Resilience Strategies to help you navigate through the next phase of change
Wellbeing and Resilience Strategies to help you navigate through the next phase of change

Despite the pain, loss and instability we all have endured through the past 15 months, the fact is that we all have also realised what an amazing disruption the pandemic has been for work life for some of us.

15 months on, each organisation no matter the industry, size or location is now rethinking their people strategies around this new ‘hybrid’ working style. According to me, one of the biggest upsides of the pandemic has been the mindset shift around ‘productivity and output’ based performance matrix rather than a ‘clock in at the office at 8am’ based performance matrix. That has definitely been an eye opening experience for many organisations across the board.

Saying that, I am also very aware that the pandemic has affected each community and each of us differently and that probably you and me are in a very privileged position to be even thinking about the upsides of the pandemic. All we can do is try and share the benefits that have come out of the ‘working from home’ settings to communities that are disproportionately impacted by this global pandemic.

While most companies are focusing on "how to get their people back to work," some are rethinking the problem, "how to make sure our best talent can work from anywhere". As always people, their wellbeing and their growth is and will continue to remain at the heart of any organisation.

The key to remember is that different people need a different approach and your hybrid strategy should reflect on individual needs rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. This can be difficult to put into practice if not done right and that is exactly why we have put together our top six tips to keep in mind while planning and implementing your people and wellbeing strategy.

I feel like I owe you an explanation.....
I feel like I owe you an explanation.....

Anyhow, I feel like I owe you and myself an explanation. Today for the first time in many many weeks, I woke up to no urgent client work delivery, training, urgent deadlines, meetings and urgent emails to attend to. I must be honest, I felt a bit lost and so I decided to ditch the looming 'To-do' list and make my 'Already done' list to help me feel better.

So what I have been upto since the past two months-

  • Worked with three new charities helping with building the staff's resilience, self awareness, motivation and group facilitation skills.

  • Delivered a three day virtual conference for an MNC

  • Delivered two training programs for a long standing SME client based in Leeds helping the staff with their

Confession time- I have been in the classic cobweb of being too busy doing stuff to only realise that I have had no time to talk about what I am doing! It may sound like I am complaining but I am not!

There have been lots of exciting updates for me so I hope to be better at keeping you informed about my news. Speaking of ‘News’, I am just popping here to share with you the amazing full page feature talking about yours truly that appeared in the Yorkshire Evening Post a couple of months back! And I am absolutely delighted to share the news with you here (although late by just a couple of months!)

It literally has been a dream come true for me. I remember how my Business Mentor would always encourage me to try to get my and TPL Experiences name in into the Yorkshire Evening Post. And it has finally happened.

The full story is here - https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/people/creating-a-cultural-calm-for-corporate-communities-in-leeds-through-classical-indian-dance-3174861
