Inside this month's issue:?
What’s been happening?
February has been a great month. I found myself back in the classroom to deliver Mental Health First Aiders for the Purpose Built Student Accommodation #PBSA provider, Collegiate UK .
?After two days of learning, I asked for a ‘one word take-away’ from the programme:
- Boundaries
- Informative
- Confidence
- Eye-opening
- Journey
- Reassurance
- Persistence
- Grounding
- Doing the right thing
- Not everything is as it seems
- Self-care
In my opinion, there is no substitute for classroom delivery. You know that I love delivery by Zoom, it has a place in our working lives, however in-person delivery allows chats over coffee and extended conversations to take place in the classroom. It just doesn't convert in the same way through our digital platforms. I’m pleased that I will be out in person much more over the coming months.?
Upcoming open course dates can be found here.
This week is Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
If you're worried about someone who might have an eating disorder, a supportive and non-judgemental conversation must take place. Early intervention is key.
Remember it's ok to feel nervous about talking about sensitive subjects. Eating disorders aren't necessarily about food or weight and we shouldn't focus on this, try not to comment positively or negatively on their appearance or weight as this isn't helpful.?
We should try and support the individual with any stress-related or distressing situations they are facing. Please remember we shouldn't force the person to talk if they don't want to and avoid having the conversation around meal times as anxiety levels may be increased.
For futher information and guidance, please take a look at these links:?

What's new?
I took a little break to Portsmouth and it was great to be out of my normal everyday routine. I love a change.?
I used this time as a mini work retreat. I focused on how I wanted to grow Garrett Learning. To help myself with this task, I took part in Lynne Thomas (The Business Builder) ’s Social Media Challenge and learned so much about myself and the business. Lynne is the owner of The Business Club. Check it out!
I’m growing and developing and I’m surrounded by incredible networks that help me do just that!?
Let me ask, how often do you take time for yourself? Whether we are employed, self-employed or considering a change, we need to give ourselves space and permission to do this!?
I have created that space for you. If you also want growth, development or a break to think clearly, join us at The Work Retreat.?
Imagine taking a break from today's fast-paced lifestyle. Take some time to enjoy nature and reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed and burning out. Use a retreat to recharge and reconnect with your business, your passion and decide on where to progress and develop. There are many benefits to taking time away from your daily routine and getting creative in a new environment.
You’ll have the opportunity to connect with other business owners, learn from the workshop sessions and each other and return refreshed with a new perspective.
