The Exceptional, energetic, enthusiastic eighty!
You hear enough before the events!
Here’s some insight into what went on at the Exeter Event on 8/2/12
“If you think it’s hard meeting new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball”– Jack Lemmon b 8/2/1925
The seminar hosted by Colin Nicklas – Gameplans on “Goal Setting and Motivation – Lessons from the Sahara” covering Colin’s epic completion of the Marathon Des Sables – started the day brilliantly.

All those who came to the seminar benefitted from a whole host of expertise and knowledge and also had the chance to win a half days consultation
The networking lunch was full of energetic conversation between people creating opportunities.
The table hosts – all hand selected for their talent and enthusiasm – did a tremendous job. Look at some of the responses when invited to be a table host!
“Absolutely delighted to accept. 8th Feb was the birth date of James Dean in 1931. �James who was the ‘Rebel without a cause’ died aged only 24. One of his famous quotes is “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.”We need to dream as if we’ll live forever, network as if we’ll die today!
“Just try and stop me – would love too!”
“Very honoured to be a table host”
“I am honoured to even be considered for such a prestigious role and delighted to accept. I trust the immense pressure of responsibility will bring the best out of me – I’ll endeavour to make you very proud”
The tremendous 10 received rapturous applause for the brilliant job done!
The 10 minute speaker – Cathy Towers of Exeter Mind & Body Clinc was accompanied by Charlie and demonstrated how our posture can dictate how we interact with other people. Cathy had everyone there shaking!

“You are the storyteller of your own life, and you can create your own legend or not.” Tom Peters, Re-imagine!
It is hard to think of yourself as a brand.
It is antithetical to the way we think of ourselves where actions (should) speak louder than words.
But …And it is a BIG but … whether you like it or not, you have a personal brand: your name, persona, your clients and your business dictate Brand You.
It is no longer ‘enough’ to do the work – that is a given. It is a question of working on your career, building up your business and distinguishing yourself in a highly competitive, consumer-facing market.
