This workshop will help you define and visualise your desires, find opportunities within your dreams and aspirations, identify obstacles and find ways to overcome them.

The Art of dressing to compliment your body shape

‘Accept who you are then project yourself with integrity. That, and not a trend, is really the basis of looking elegant’, Stefano Pilati, YSL Creative Director

Living in London we are spoilt for choice with clothes on offer. There are hundreds of different shops and online stores offering a huge variety of different garments and styles. Let’s just consider skirts for a second. There are pencil skirts, flared skirts, straight skirts, mini skirts, asymmetric skirts and full skirts. Furthermore, those come in different colours, lengths and fabrics. And that’s just skirts! To many of us it can become overwhelming. So we find ourselves trying on lots of different clothes, only to find out that they don’t look quite right. Then we stress, think we are not slim enough and that’s why nothing fits, and shopping becomes a bit of nightmare. Sounds familiar? The trouble is that even if we do have some idea of what our body shape is, most of us don’t have a clue how to pick our clothes to flatter it.

The aim of this workshop is to educate you on what style is best for your body shape and how to build your wardrobe around it.

The workshop will cover:
Understanding your body shape
Bringing out your best features and camouflaging problem areas
Wardrobe essentials
Mixing and matching styles, colours and fabrics
Colour analysis
Accessorising

The Art of Being Confident

There is nothing more alluring in a woman than her confidence.

We all have something to be confident about. However not all of us realise or appreciate it. We often underestimate our beauty, talents and abilities. We often don’t give ourselves enough credit and focus on the negatives, instead of the positives.

Lack of confidence can not only affect our personal and love life but also our career. Have you noticed that people that stand tall and speak with confidence tend to be better sales and negation people? That’s because unconsciously it makes us trust and value their words and opinions. Furthermore, when it comes to promotion, confident people stand a better chance as they are perceived to be better leaders who are likely to get more respect and support from their team.

This course will help you improve your self-awareness, re-evaluate and let go of your self-limiting beliefs and help you build your confidence through various NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and life-coaching techniques.

This course will also include Reiki energy circles. Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique which stimulates physical, mental and emotional healing. Reiki is a great tool to promote confidence, self awareness and creativity through healing energy flows.

How often, when you are looking for help, advice or information, do you ‘Google it’? If you’re anything like me then it’s about 95% of the time!

This means that as a service provider if you are not getting found on the web and converting visitors to clients then you are missing out on a constant (and growing) stream of new clients!

You’ve probably heard talk of key words and SEO and of the ultimate ‘being #1 in Google’ as being the road to Internet Marketing damascus! These are of course, all very important and form part of any good marketing strategy; but what about when visitors land on your website, how do you build rapport with them and engage them so that they keep reading; how do build the kind of relationships with them that encourages them to take the next step (sign up for something, purchase an eproduct or contact you to find out more)?

The answers to this and many, many others will be revealed in my 1-day ‘How to turn your website into a client magnet’ workshop.

In this practical, hands-on workshop I will reveal the secrets to ensuring that not-only do you get found by your target market, you also convert them to clients with ease, grace authenticity.

Imagine the impact on your client list and your bank balance when you:
• Have a website that generates qualified leads where ever you are and whatever else you are doing
• Have a dynamic tool that sells your services and products for you
• Know how to constantly bring qualified leads to your site … and convert them to clients
• Have recouped your investment in your website, over and over!
• Really stand out from your competition and are positioned as the expert in your field
• Have utilised your knowledge and expertise to make money while you sleep

Some people believe that for service providers such as coaches, therapists and consultants, their website can be nothing more than a static brochure and that it can’t really do the job of selling for them. My own experience tells a different story and when I launched my first coaching website about 80 – 90% of new business came directly through my website and the feedback I received enabled me to ensure that not only do I continue to do this for my own businesses, I can do the same for my clients too and ensure their services don’t remain a well-kept secret!

What next?
The worst thing you can do is wait and hope that the clients will just appear; and the best thing you can do is to learn how to market your business in a way that’s dynamic, cost-effective & flexible; and that works!

Come and join us on the 26th February and I’ll show you how!
By the end of this 1-day practical and inspirational workshop you will:
• Have the knowledge and confidence to write your own effective web copy
• Know how to easily drive free qualified leads to your site
• Have a simple and effective strategy to ensure constant sales from your website
• Understand the secret to building an emotional connection with your audience
• Be able to utilise your knowledge and expertise to make money while you sleep
• Be delighted at how easy it can be!
• Have the motivation and knowledge to turn your website into a dynamic sales tool that is both flexible and cost-effective
• How to utilise social media to grow your business and your database

When you book before Monday 25th January you will save over £50 and pay just £95

Dallaglio Cycle Slam charity party

I am very proud to be supporting Greg, one of the 6 inspiring and brave riders on the Dallaglio Cycle Slam
(cycling 3000 kms from Rome to Edinburgh http://www.dallagliocycleslam.com)
which started on Friday 12 February 2010, raising money via Sport Relief for the charity DebRA,
to help find a cure for Epidermoylsis bullosa, a horrific, often terminal, blistering skin disease in children.
A staggering 1 in 225 of us has the defective gene in the UK!

I am organising a party to raise money on Friday 26 February 2010
at award-winning Idlewild’s upstairs cocktail bar, London. Would you like to come along?
Special guests include All Blacks’ rugby legend, Zinzan Brooke, who is also cycling in the Slam. Other celebs tbc.

Please click here to see the BBC Sport Relief video of the cyclists plus one of the children that the DebRA charity helps.
See this quick clip showing the riders in the awful snow endured on Day 1!

Friday 26 February marks the half-way point in this epic cycling challenge.
After 15 days of solid cycling from Italy, through the snowy Alps, to France, averaging a gruelling 130 kms DAILY cycle the riders arrive in the UK.
Therefore, the party will provide a great opportunity to give some cheering, motivation and final donations to help Greg and the guys keep going
to the finish on 13 March 2010 in Edinburgh, after nearly 30 days in the saddle!

Please can you help?

My fundraising target is £3000+. Please can you help me reach this goal by booking your ticket to the party, or if you are unable to attend, by making a donation?
Please click here now to book your ticket or to make a donation: http://dallagliocycleslam.eventbrite.com

What some of our previous delegates had to say:

“I just wanted to send you a quick email to say what a fantastic session it was. Diana was brilliant, and the method using a video camera, while striking terror in the heart of everyone present (!), was a masterstroke. It was incredibly effective. I had numerous ideas for news angles on the train home. Alas caused significant lack of sleep that night, lol.” Rosaleen Tighe, Milk & Honey Organics

“I just wanted to say Thank you for arranging the course yesterday. It was amazing! I think we were all extremely nervous initially but Diana was fabulous and imparted some exceptional words of wisdom! ” Jane Robson, The Fine Cotton Company

“I thought the workshop was great, Diana was amazing at being able to explain our messages well and I feel like I got a lot out of it. Thank you for organising!” Charlotte Morris, Freshe Corporate Finance

Marvellous Monthly Workshop from Flourish Creative Studios - Design Tips to Build Your Brand

You didn’t start a business to become your own graphic designer, but every time you create that report, checklist, poster, letter, advert or case study you’re unwittingly creating a piece of design. Isn’t it about time you learned how to do it properly?”

This workshop will show you how to close the gap between your professionally designed literature, and the pieces you create yourself. It’s not about replacing the great creative work your graphic designer does, its about showing you how you can build, not break, your brand.

Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway® Workshop

Breakthrough the barriers that are holding you back. Now more than ever we need to be taking action in our lives and our businesses to survive the rough ride ahead. This is a dynamic workshop that gives you simple techniques for turning fear, indecision and frustration into power and action. This workshop has been developed specifically for women in business but you can apply it to all areas of your life.

Imagine feeling confident enough to ask your clients for more money. Imagine being able to stand up in front of 40 people and sell your business with confidence and flair. Imagine being able to pick up the phone to 30 people you don’t know and promote your business. Imagine being able to find a way to do all the things that you know you should do, but somehow can never quite face up to.

Who should attend

- Women business owners who are worried about how they are going to ride out the current climate – Women who are thinking about starting their own business – Women who would like to achieve better results in their business – Women who want to feel more confident in their business and personal lives – Women who want to achieve more.

Why should you attend

Learn the truths about fear and how to take full responsibility for your thoughts and feelings. Learn how to choose your reactions to any given situation. Learn how to communicate effectively and turn negative self talk into a powerful vocabulary that will change the way that you work in your business and how you relate to others.

Dynamic and inspirational, the Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway® workshop is filled with concrete techniques to turn passive behaviours into confidence and self-belief. The workshop teaches you to stop negative thinking patterns that say “I can’t” and re-educate your mind to think more positively – “I can handle it!”

This workshop is based on the international bestselling book ‘Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway®’ which is a registered trademark of Susan Jeffers PhD. Includes a copy of the book and is being delivered under licence from Susan Jeffers (http://www.susanjeffers.com).
