PWA announced the launch of our series of coaching workshops at our February speaker event and the response so far has been overwhelming.
The concept grew out of Cristina Gianotti’s speaker meeting topic, "Coaching: an important tool for progress in all aspects of life". Since PWA has a number of members who are professional coaches, we decided to offer additional sessions on more specific topics to groups limited to 12 women at a nominal fee. Participants could “test-drive” coaching and see for themselves how it works.
The first session, presented by Cristina Gianotti – who was also the speaker at the February meeting – is entitled "How to find a new employment opportunity" and was held on March 12; it was sold out within 2 days of opening of registration. The second workshop on April 9, "How to overcome your fear and realise your potential" with Caroline Flanagan, also sold out immediately.
Upcoming sessions currently slated for May 14, June 11 and September 24 will be held by Anna Piatti, Valerie Ryder and Pilar Chaparro, respectively. Confirmed topics include “Networking, mastering your introduction and more” and "Emotional intelligence applied in our daily lives"
Based on your positive response, we’d like to add more of these types of extra events. In the next few days you will receive a short survey via email so that we can collect your opinions and ideas. Please take the 2 minutes required to respond.
Although we have a wealth of talent and resources among our membership to lead these sessions, our greatest need is for meeting space. If you, your company or someone you know has centrally-located space available during the evening that could be used by PWA for this type of event, please let us know.
