Wednesday 28th May meeting: Una Doyle

Yes Group North – Wednesday, 28 May
Come along to YES Group North in May for something different.. . YES Group North’s own fun personal development and spiritual growth expert, Una Doyle, will bring an interesting slant on her more recent journey through life with lessons that we all can benefit from.

It promises to be a fun and exciting learning experience… Una said: “Come along – you’ll get to do something that you’ve probably never done before in a personal development event and I feel you’ll love it… Bring your partner if you’ve got one, they’ll love it too!”

Una has worked with individuals and groups in personal and spiritual growth for more than five years helping people to shift and change patterns of feelings and behaviours that have held them back in their business and personal lives.

An award-winning international speaker, she is delighted to be back in front of the YES Group after some time making interesting changes in her life and business and developing her ideas and material. This fascinating journey is also being reflected in her forthcoming book. For more information, visit Una’s website: www.UnaDoyle.com

Nicky Pattinson

Nicky pattinson is a professional speaker with a dynamic and inspirational story to tell.

It is a story that reduces audiences to tears of sadness, joy and ultimately lifts them to new heights of hope and ambition.
Born in Holmfirth, and like those Pennine hills that were her childhood playground, Nicky is uncomprimising, gritty, sometimes wild and always breathtaking!
Nicky will be sharing her story, the consequences of events so severe that most people would have found too daunting to cope with, and how through her strength and uncrushable spirit, rebuilt an abundant life for herself and her young son.

Write Yourself Happy™

Jeni Mumford is a coach and the author of Life Coaching for Dummies, published in November 2006. Building on her successful career as a director with the specialist recruitment group, Hays, Jeni established her coaching business Starfish in 2004 and now supports individuals to achieve the results they want for themselves, building on strengths, core values and empowering beliefs. Her key themes are success and happiness and she facilitates her clients to define and live the balance between the two. Her philosophy is that our greatest contribution to our world is only truly possible when we fully commit to our own potential and learn to write our own story, the one that is uniquely ours to share with the world.

Write Yourself Happy™ will launch in 2008 and will inspire and support aspiring writers to find and make visible their creative talent. This special YES Group North preview will inspire you to tap into your own WordPower as Jeni shares her story of writing and publishing with a major brand, and how out of that experience she discovered a magic model for success and happiness that can be applied to any goal. And during this highly creative evening you too will discover how to write yourself as the hero in your own life’s journey.
Bring your favourite pen and - if you are ready to turn a significant page in your life - a new notebook - not too fancy, and certainly not an expensive one. Simply a plain or a wholesome or a quirky little book of blank pages that pleases you in some way.
Get ready for the birth of your own creative genius...

See you there!
7pm for 7:30 start.

A Prosperous Mind
Many of us have financial goals that are just a little out of our reach.
Or we perhaps have financial goals that dominate our lives and leave us emotionally drained at the end of each day. Perhaps you were like myself and did not even realise this was true! The evening will be a highly interactive introductory session to explore and reveal your mindset of wealth. A series of guided practical exercises supported by example and discussion to discover your true wealth identity, what resources you have to achieve your goals and what beliefs may be holding you back.
During the session David will guide a series of exercises and discussion: -
- the more you want the less you get
- how does it feel to let go and have it all
- where is the centre of gravity of your wealth mindset
- who do you want to be in your relationship to wealth and money
- how does this impact ALL other areas of your life
Does it work?
David currently works as a coach and consultant with some of the worlds leading professional services organisations, as well as working with individuals and groups in his role as an Anthony Robbins trainer at events such as Wealth Mastery. In his coaching David combines the modern discipline of mindset with the ancient teachings from the east.
David, 46, is married to Truda and has a beautiful young son Phoenix.
David owns The Freedom Factory whose clients over the past year have included Prudential, Aviva, Norwich Union, WIPRO, TCS, Deloitte Consulting, and Ernst & Young. David is an Anthony Robbins trainer and spends six to eight weeks each year supporting events such as Date with Destiny, UPW, Wealth Mastery and Life Mastery.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Maintaining Momentum and Implementation - the key to your future success

Maintaining momentum is one of the biggest challenges individuals, teams and businesses face. Have you ever found it difficult to apply tools or strategies that you know will make a difference but haven’t become a habit yet? Would you like to get better results from your knowledge? Is it possible that even after learning powerful tools and strategies that you can slip back into old unproductive patterns? Many people find it challenging to maintain their energy and motivation consistently over a period of time. This module focuses on creating sustainability to ensure that energy and motivation is maintained within the workplace consistently and answers all your ‘How To’s’ about what and how to do so.

- How to maintain momentum for you and your teams
- How to overcome the repetitive challenges you are facing
- How to avoid these challenges in the future
- How to implement the things which will add the most value to you and your business
- Answers to all of your ‘How To’ questions to help you in your workplace.



Procrastinate later.

No matter who we are or what our position is in the organisation, there is a chance that we have done the quick and easy wins rather than doing the things which we are paid to do and will actually make the biggest difference. People’s ability to procrastinate can and does cost individuals and businesses enormously. This module is entirely focussed around avoiding procrastination and making sure the tasks which are supposed to be done and add the most value are done by each person at the right time.

- Understand what causes us to procrastinate and why we do it
- What we can do to make the most of our effectiveness once we’ve realised we are procrastinating
- How to ‘snap’ out of it and not spend time procrastinating or doing the ‘wrong’ things.

Those of you that have seen Chris speak before will know that you get what is on the programme as well as so much more. If you haven't seen him, you are in for a treat!
7pm for 7;30pm start.

The actual date is September 16th in March, Cambridge subject to weather conditions.
I am asking for your generous help to raise money as I jump from a plane at an altitude of 13,500 feet for this fantastic cause. My goal is £2,000 and I have already received pledges of £1,200 (which is amazing!). You can help me make this goal a reality too by sponsoring me on my jump.
