Flourishing Workshops : Workshop Bootcamp : Thu, 23rd September
How to run successful workshops and seminars for your customers
Live events: workshops, seminars and conferences are the ultimate marketing tool. You fill a room with your ideal clients and by sharing your knowledge with them you build strong relationships, consolidate your position as the expert and generate solid sales leads. And best of all, if you get it right, you can make a profit out of the event too!
But the reality is often quite different. Filling a room with 20 or 30 paying guests is harder than it sounds.
How do you get bums on seats? And how do you price the workshop so that your clients value what you’re doing and you still make a healthy profit?
Join Fiona Humberstone on this day-long bootcamp and you’ll discover the answers to these questions and plenty more.
She’ll walk you through the process of running a successful workshop or seminar from start to finish. By the end of the day you’ll have created a plan for your event, structured your copy and have gained an understanding of the steps you need to take to market the event for maximum profits.

Time : 9.15am – 4pm
Location : The Talbot Inn, Ripley, Surrey, GU23 6BB

Inner State Workshop
Life has its ups and downs and sometimes that can feel like a bit of an emotional roller coaster and we can end up dropping the ball. We can spread ourselves so thinly or be pulled in so many different directions that some days we might not know which way is up!
This can have a serious impact on our emotional health, our families and not least our ability to do our work to the best of our ability. Valuable time and energy can be lost dealing with the emotional fallout of getting back on track when we don’t make ourselves a priority.
Particularly for anyone running a business, in these times especially, we can’t really afford to do that. We need to be match fit and on the go whenever we need to be. Waiting for something really bad to happen to give you a wake-up call is leaving it too late!
This day is designed to give you a very practical experience of some of our tried and tested and most successful ways of managing yourself for a more resourceful state of body and mind and a life that feels like it’s on more of an even keel.
Price: £90
Bring a friend and get your place for just £65.

Confidence is Currency Workshop
Does your lack of confidence get in the way of winning you more business? Do your presentations, pitches and talks lack charisma and impact?
In business, we all know the importance of making a positive first impression and without the right balance of confidence and rapport, we are running the risk of not being taken seriously by our clients and, worse still, actually putting them off.

What you will learn:
- The levels of confidence and why they are important for you – The hall-markers of confident people – How to get your body to work for you and ooze a confident presence – How to prepare yourself physically and mentally for effective public speaking – How to create that all important stage presence and charisma – The keys to assertive communication – Rapport – what it is, why it is important and how to build more of it – Why relaxation is vital to confidence and simple techniques for profound relaxation

Vitality Workshop
Are you finding it difficult to maintain good energy levels?
Occasional highs and lows of energy are natural for all of us, but many of us tolerate low energy, poor health and lack of motivation as the norm. When life demands so much of us, it’s easy to feel exhausted and struggle to find energy for the everyday necessities. It doesn’t have to be that way!
The Vitality Workshop is a very practical and lively introduction to the sometimes wacky world of energy work. It is designed to help you tap into a more sustainable flow of vital energy to help you enjoy life more.
Through a mix of informative mini lectures, demonstrations and interactive exercises, you will work through a complete energetic overhaul of your physical and etheric body, and understand more clearly how to better respond to stressors and energy sappers.
Price: £45
