1 Day Facilitator Meet on June 4th 2013

Hi all

We are so looking forward to seeing you on 4th June at the Facilitator Forum. The day serves as both an informative event but also as a celebration of TPI's outstanding facilitator base. 

For your information I include once more the detail of the venue and timings of the day. We also have some additional information for you to consider and some preparation for the session that will maximise the benefit of having so many skilled facilitators in one place!

The venue for the forum is:

Bridgeton Community Learning Campus
68 Dale Street
Bridgeton ,
Glasgow ,
G40 4TL
Tel 0141 556 4275

The session will run from 9.30am to 4pm.

In order to ensure the day is a great success it would be fabulous to set some goals together. To that effect Anne Brannan, who will be leading the session, has asked whether you could email her any requests you may have in terms of resources, concept reviews or specific networking points that you would like to address. In addition please consider the following question, "What are the main challenges you face in delivering programmes and how have you overcome them?" We will be working to address these collaboratively during the session so it would be very useful to have these in advance to help structure the session. Anne's email address is anne_brannan@btinternet.com.

Be ready to share the  successes you have had with your programmes. If you have any stories, pictures or video feedback that you would like to share, it would be great if you could bring this with you (if you have these electronically we can project these as well).

Can also you please bring a closing activity that you might use at the end of a delivery with you, to share with the group. There may not be time to use all of these on the day, in which case we will compile and send out the various examples to everyone following the event.

Thank you once again and we are certainly looking forward to sharing a wonderful day with you on the 4th June.

Kind regards

Joe Askew
Sector Project Coordinator

One Amazing Visit

Today the group had an amzing VIP visit from Kevin Mclernon Biggest Loser Winner 2012. Through the power of Social Media aka Twitter I had been personally inspired by Kevins story of success and wanted him to share his story with our group

From a rainy windy and wet Falkirk High Train station I met Kevin off the train and almost immediately we  continued our conversation around life and how one tweet can can change outlook and bring people together from as far a field as Scotland and Sunderland.

Kevin met with group and shared his own story immediately connecting on so many levels with our young people.

His story was very personal and from the heart and he delivered it passionately and clearly to the group we broke for lunch and when we returned we continued the conversation and look at realistic goal setting and Kevin supported our young people to look at setting there own goals and again through his personal approach really made an impact on the young people present.

By the end of the day Kevin had made such a positive impact that one of the young people stated that she did not want him to leave.

An amazing day and I warmly recommend you book Kevin and recommend him for your group, company or organisation as you will be postively affected by Kevin's honesty, clarity, passion and can do belief "If He Can You Can "
