I’m mindful that for many of you this is an important year. It may be a year in which you’ll have to be on your ‘A game’ personally, professionally, in your home life, in your career, in your business.The nature of the economy, career, organisational and business environment is such that being focused, resourceful, effective is more important than it may have been for some time – whatever your circumstances in life.

On top of that I’m also mindful that the start of the year means that you may want to get off to the best start in 2013. You may want to give yourself a bit of a boost personally and professionally and to get inspired, focused and organised.

So I’ve got a rich programme of personal, professional, spiritual and business development events and talks this month. The highlights include:

* Become who you are in 2013: free online talk/seminar  7-8pm  Tues 15 Jan. Get inspired, set goals / resolutions holistically, strategically & meaningfully. 

* Open Heart Surgery – with Rasheed a special audience-with style talk and discussion to help you embrace yourself and life: 7-9pm Fri 18 Jan

*Soul Trader – Putting the Heart Back into Your Business:  A Free talk on my book of the same name at City Business Library: Jan 22 (book now)

* Your Life, Your Business – are you your own boss/planning to become so? This half day workshop at the British Library helps you develop the clarity, confidence and plan of action to progress  … next dates 10am-12.45 on Jan 23, Feb 21 or Mar 21.  (see details / book now)
