Been busy in my art-studio today - just printed this.

I actually cut this piece with my mum (the late Heinke Jenkins - Professional Lino-Artist) back in 2023 before she died.

Back then, it was a training exercise to remind me how to cut Lino. It’s now been over year since she passed away and I thought it appropriate to print it on her press to honour that first anniversary.

At the time, she was amazed how adept I was at Lino-Cutting, particularly as I hadn’t done any Lino work since my A-Levels.

I certainly felt her encouraging presence whilst I printed it.

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed cutting and printing it!

Remarkable very last Lino Print by my very talented professional artist, mum - Heinke Jenkins, right before she passed away. This piece is profoundly titled, ’Hello-Goodbye’.
Very poignant!

The more I look at this, AND her whole portfolio spanning over 60-years the more I see of her absolute genius.

Please contact me if you’d like to see or know more about her unique expressionism and minimalist style and how she evolved this through her extensive work.

I’ll be hanging out with B2B Marketing Expert and recent Digital Nomad, Sarah Hughes - a regular guest and Leaders Live contributor 👏🏼 🙌🏽

We’ll be chatting about: The Digital Nomad - How To Adventure While You Work.

Here’s a short 60-sec clip from the trailer…

Would you like to attend?

QUICK TEASER…
In the last few years, a new phenomena in work, rest and play has been trending over the world by the Digital nomad.

Many Cafés in exotic locations may have a coffee sipping entrepreneur or two connected to the world of on line work through a laptop and smart phone. So much so that we all probably know someone, or a friend of a friend doing this right now.

Chatting to Sarah the other day, while she was in a cafe in Northern Tenerife, she said, ‘there seems to be a shift for a lot of people in the last few years leaving the corporate world and feeling stuck in a rut.

For many people this has meant a yearning for some sort of reinvention - particularly around the mid-life point. Others seek a new purpose, a different mission for their lives, and to make a difference.’

Also, the pandemic has been a game changer for this mindset revolution too. The media call it, ‘The Great Resignation’ and has resulted in many more people drawn to experimenting with a Digital Nomad experience.

Maybe you too feel the same as Sarah, or not(!) Either way, I bet you are curious to want to know more? I know I am! 🧐 🤔
So come along, join in and get the vibe and at the same time learn something new and exciting.

Sarah will tell us all about her digital nomad experiences next Tuesday 17th May.

This and a whole lot more.
So Come along.

This and a whole lot more.
We can’t wait!

So what’s not to like?
Come along and join in the fun.

Jo has a passion for print, but she also loves digital too. The key, Jo believes, is to unlock the benefits of using both mediums.

QUICK TEASER…
When the post arrives, dont we all eagerly rush to the door in anticipation for something unexpected? Perhaps it could be tickets to that concert, or something important like test results. Admittedly much of this can be sent on line. But REALLY… we do love a hard copy, particularly birthday cards right?
And remember letters? Or maybe you don’t, that’s for old folk like innit? 🤷‍♂️

Here’s a thought for you…
Do you know your own carbon impact of the email you handle per year?

We certainly have a strong emotional connection with the touch, feel and even smell of print. But could receiving actual letters through the post actually be more sustainable too 🤔?

What’s easier to read - an electronic communication or a hard copy? How many of print something off to read it it properly - I know I do?

We explore…
1. Some stats ‘n facts that will surprise you about the printed word to get us thinking.
2. In this digital and sustainable everything world we live in, what does print still have a place?
3. What’s the hidden carbon impact of electronic communication?
4. What future benefits might print bring us for sales, marketing, promotions, business communication etc?
5. What new ways can we engage more with our customers using print?

I don’t know 🤷‍♂️, but Jo does and she will tell us all about it next Tuesday 10th May.

This and a whole lot more.
We can’t wait!

So what’s not to like?
Come along and join in the fun.

Tuesday 3rd May

I’ll be hanging out with director of niche consultancy Effectiv8 Ltd. and sales expert, Cheryl Harding

We’ll be chatting about - Sales Strategy For The Real World

Would you like to attend?
Please join us via the invite button

Cheryl has over 30 years experience in the sales arena and was once named “International Sales Professional of the Year’. In her time helping companies grow their sales capability she has seen it all – the good, the bad and the downright ugly!

QUICK TEASER…
Here’s a thought for you… it is said that Sergeants run the British Army. And using the Army analogy in a sales context a Sales Manager should be equivalent to the Sergeant. But the real point here is - are they being given the necessary skills, acumen and training that a Sergeant would get?
Cheryl strongly argues NO they are not!

Your Sales Team should be the petrol in your high performance engine – they are what brings stability in an unpredictable world – or at least they should be!

Cheryl has a no mess approach and lives Sales in the real world, giving real life examples of challenges and solutions.

We explore…
1. Do most businesses understand sales?
2. What do you think stops companies achieving their sales potential?
3. Where might the weak link be?
4. Does sales training work?
I don’t know, but Cheryl does and she will tell us all about it next Tuesday 3rd May.

This and a whole lot more.
We can’t wait!

Im so proud of what Leaders Live has achieved in the last 12-months.

Let me explain…

In May 2021, I kickstarted a brand new weekly live stream Businesses chat show - Leaders Live.

The idea was - Leaders Live would feature extraordinary conversations about Business and high performance subjects to boost success and build better Business success for Business owners, Managers, CEOs and Entrepreneurs.

We promote inclusivity and diversity.

Back in the first months of 2021 we were finding our feet with the first few events emerging as rough and ready with only a small audience.

Gradually week by week, month by month allowed us to learn more and more to master our craft and to deserve the right to gain in: interest, traction, quality and numbers.

The purpose and passion as to ‘THE WHY’ with Leaders Live is that It all starts with the idea and passion that:

You are more than you think!

Leaders Live is about building community of like minded folks who want to be extraordinary.

And this is particularly relevant to building back better businesses following the last 2 years of pandemic.

The Motto here is ‘I to the power of we’ 😎

And through these simple ideas we aim to make a difference together to peoples’ Business lives, AND make the world better too folks.

Leaders Live aims to bring a spirit of freedom, joy and fun through a feel good factor in all of our working lives.

Not only that, but we are building an extraordinary community of likeminded interesting and amazing people - all with stories to tell of their own business endeavours, passions and interests. And like a rising tide we all benefit.

What’s more, Berdine Hugo has joined the team as our moderator and she keeps the engagement, the audience and me going as host interviewing our interesting and awesome guests. We also have recently appointed a Board we are accountable to.

We roll every Tuesday at 0845 uk 🇬🇧 time And next Tuesday will be the 49th Leaders Live event.

Today we even have groovy Hoodies and T-Shirt Merch.

I am so excited and looking back, it’s amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to something and have the drive to achieve something extraordinary.

Thank you to all of you who have supported Leaders Live to establish such an awesome community of likeminded folks. 👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏽👏🏼

FREE Live Stream Event - Trailer

Tuesday 26th April
At 08:45…

I’ll be hanging out with former co Owner & MD, Emerge Development Consultancy Ltd, and now Founder of Drawn to Learn, my mate Jackie Forbes.

We will be chatting about - Drawn To Perform - the art of using hand drawn doodles and templates to enrich conversations and drive performance.

Would you like to attend?

QUICK TEASER…

If you are asked to draw something as part of a workshop, might your immediate response one of initial panic?

You may even be saying to yourself ,or blurt straight out something like: “Oh no, no way, I can’t possibly do that, I can’t draw for toffee!”

If this is you, you are not alone - this is many peoples’ initial reaction too. And in this Leaders Live
BUT, did you know that creativity in Business IS the new sexy folks!

Event, we will all be in very safe hands with Jackie.

Jackie is on a mission to encourage business people to bring visual tools and hand drawn graphics into their day-to-day working life to support thinking processes, enrich conversations and ultimately Jackie will help us to understand how this simple activity can supercharge our performance.

Jackie argues, anyone of us can do this – Yes that means even you and me and the good news is - you don’t have to be an artist!

We explore…

1. What is graphic facilitation and why should we pay attention to it and why should we care about it?
2. REALLY! - how does getting creative enhance performance?
3. Why does Jackie believe that doodling is far more effective that using photo’s and clip art?
4. What is the SHIFT-IT approach, and how can we practically apply doodling skills into our workplaces? And how do we even get started here?
5. Can this creative approach be applied to hybrid working?

I don’t know, but Jackie does and she will tell us all about it on Tuesday 26th April.

This and a whole lot more.
We can’t wait!

So what’s not to like?
Come along and join in the fun.
