The New Talking Through My Hat CD is now available
Many of these Keynote presentations also have a CD-Rom / Audio CD and PocketBook to compliment them.

Overview of Programme:
Here we look at the importance of linking the performance of the business with the performance of your people. This should extend to the calendar cycle you have, the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that you use to measure success, the values you aspire to, the culture you want to achieve and many other factors.

There are some basic practical processes that you need to go through – however, this is about how you do it – it is the energy, passion and commitment that you give to your people that makes them go more than that longed for, extra mile!

We explore how other organizations can create the time to do this, and so reap the benefits!

‘Keep on!’, ‘Practice!’ or ‘Give up Smoking’ are just some of the comments Patricia has seen on performance appraisal forms – and it gets better with each story and example. Learning from these – she helps the audience work out how to make these discussions really work – in a wildly lively way – you won’t go to sleep in this session!

How you will benefit:

  • Clear understanding of what should be included in an effective Performance Management system
  • A wider grasp of people management and motivation
  • How to link reward, personal development and careers to performance
  • Building an environment of continuous quality improvement – removing doubt and risk

Properties are moving so quickly that emailed details are often sketchy, (full details rarely get printed), a phone call alerts prospective buyers to view and view now, and really, if you don't make an offer within the first 48 hours of a property being on the market, then you've lost it!
Attracting Generation X+1 - Don't over Promise: 6 Quick Ideas - August 2006
Is this the first sign of many, that Generation X +1 is here, is different and is beginning to flex its muscle? The work ethics of the late 90's, to slog your way to the top, to be too exhausted to enjoy life after work, put up with a heavy workload and demands for delivering against targets, is no longer acceptable to this demanding and powerful (because of their scarcity) group.
Can you teach old dogs new tricks?
There is much in the media about skills shortages in the UK and Europe, a reducing population available for work (fewer babies being born) a growing, healthy but ageing population, problems with pensions - and now a proposal from the Government to extend the retirement age to 68 by 2050.
