This Friday at the Rubicon
This Fridays Open Coffee talk at the Rubicon will be given by Jane Leonard, a Learning & Performance Specialist Website
she will focus on the importance of management skills in running a successful business.
It will cover the classic management areas of Planning, organising, controlling and delegating.
It won’t be preachy but it will remind people that how we manage ourselves is how we present ourselves to the world.
There will also be a presentation from Martin Forrest who is starting his own business, running self defense training for the over 60′s (the idea is that most over 60′s have a walking stick, and thus a weapon to hand!).
He will give a demonstration and has a short video presentation so it should be interesting!
