Mindful Monday Kicks Off with an Inspirational Start

Cheshire Business School hosted around 70 delegates for its inaugural Mindful Monday session hosted held at Cranage Hall in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire.

Renowned speaker, Michael Finnigan , who has worked with clients including premier league football clubs, Open winner Darren Clarke, Royal Mail, NHS and Airbus, ran a bite-sized session to inspire delegates and create a successful mindset for the month.

He talked about the importance of attitude and belief, sharing stories and examples from his 30 years as a performance coach. A key theme is instilling belief in not just yourself, but your team and ensuring everyone is bought into the plan, despite our tendency to see things differently.

Combining practical tips, anecdotes and real-life examples of his coaching in action, Michael left the delegates with a number of exercises to take back to their organisations and workplaces.

Chair of the CBS Advisory Board, Jake K. Mairs , who is also a senior manager in the NHS said: “What a way to start our Mindful Monday sessions. Michael was both inspirational and entertaining, having us laughing and learning at the same time which is a great skill to have.

“The feedback has been brilliant, with businesses loving the fact that the sessions run for just an hour and a half so are a great way to reset your outlook and start the week on a positive note. It’s rare for business owners and senior leaders to find time for training, personal development or just to work and reflect on their business, and these sessions are both practical, useful and entertaining.”

Founder and CEO, Rachel Kay FCIPD FCMI , adds:

“We are privileged to be able to bring a speaker of Mike’s calibre to Cheshire and make him accessible to SMEs as well as some of the larger businesses that attended. We’re delighted with the response, the event was really well attended and we’re looking forward to hosting our next Mindful Monday session in early November.”
