FREE Lunchtime Learning – The Big C – Cancer
18th May 2026 – 12.30pm until 1pm
CANCER!! I know it sounds like I’m shouting it, doesn’t it? Well I am. How do you feel when someone says the word, Cancer? I’ve never heard anyone say it’s a good thing.
I have always hated cancer, but that is such a strong word. Am I too passionate about it maybe? The word cancer can provoke so many different feelings and behaviours in us. When someone tells us that they are in remission, how do we feel? How is that person dealing with it? Does everyone get to ring a bell?
In this interactive 30 minute session, we will discuss how to talk to someone who has/had cancer. I will ask you what your company does to support someone going through, been through or seeing a loved one going through cancer. So be prepared!
Join me and support cancer awareness in the workplace.

FREE Lunchtime Learning - Understanding Menopause
2026-05-20 12:30 - 13:00
FREE Lunchtime Learning – Understanding Menopause
20th May – 12.30pm until 1pm
What is Menopause and why do we need to know about it?
Those of us who are going through it will tell you, but isn’t it good to know about it before it happens to you or someone you love. I don’t remember us talking about it at school, but then again I don’t remember them talking about Algebra either! Brain fog is real!
I have been talking about Menopause to whoever will listen for over 10 years and I still missed some of the signs. I’m not a doctor, but I do understand the perils of Menopause.
In this interactive 30 minute session, we will discuss what is Menopause and raising awareness at work and at home. What can you do to support yourself or others around you going through it?
Come and join Tracey and have your say!

Difficult or Challenging Conversations Online Workshop 13th July
2026-07-13 09:30 - 13:00
Difficult or Challenging Conversations
13th July – 9.30am until 1pm
How do you feel when you had to have a difficult conversation? Nervous? Anxious? Nothing? We all go through different feelings when having challenging conversations. The first place is to start with yourself. What’s happening with you? How are you feeling? Our mind needs to be in the right place to have an effective conversation. Even more so if potentially it’s a challenging one. Having the right mentality and approach when about to deal with a difficult conversation is a valuable skill in any company.
It is hoped that the employees will just perform; however, there may be occasions where performance drops below the required standard and the leader/manager must step in to get the level of performance back to the required standard by having a difficult conversation. There could be several reasons why, how do you find out!!
You may have to call a client to let them know that something they have paid for is going to be late or not come at all! How does that feel? What are they going to say? What other challenging conversations could you have? Let’s explore them in our workshop.
In this interactive learning session, we will address how our mindset has a huge impact on how the conversation will be.
Outline of the workshop
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
• Identify the types of difficult conversations in your workplace and what makes them ‘difficult’.
• Explore the potential impact of delaying the ‘difficult’ conversation.
• Describe what emotional intelligent is and how this can support you.
• Understanding the behavioural iceberg and why this is important.
• Prepare and plan for your difficult conversation.
Join our interactive workshop to see how you can ensure that you manage your conversation effectively.
