Our special guest speaker will be Adam Fidler who will be talking about the new year and a new you.

Seminar Details: It’s the thought that counts: creating positive choices
In this inspirational and thought-provoking talk, Adam shares the strategies he has used, and uses to this day, to continue to manifest and achieve his aspirations. If the tools have worked for Adam, then he has no doubt they can work for you too! By becoming deliberate creators, and actively focussing on what we want, our goals become reality. The presentation includes goal setting, and why it’s important, the use of visualisations and affirmations to achieve those goals, and how positive statements of intent can build self-confidence and self-belief. These tools are not new – far from it; they were used by great businesspeople such as Henry Ford, but for years they weren’t included in standard business books. Now, Adam gives his contemporary perspective on the law of attraction, and how you can indeed change your life by being more aware of your thoughts and power of your mind. A talk not to be missed! Says Adam: “Change your thoughts and you change your life!”.

TRIBUTE TO SUSIE BARRON-STUBLEY

We will be dedicating this event and saying goodbye to our wonderful friend and PA Trainer Susie Barron-Stubley who tragically passed away on 2nd November 2015. Susie was a great mentor to The PA Hub and her passion for the PA profession was contagious. Her smile lit up a room and her laugh could be heard from afar. We will miss you Susie and we will always have fond memories of our times together. The PA world will not be the same without you.
Susie was our first keynote speaker at The PA Hub launch in January 2013 and we will be raising money via an auction and prize draw for the charity MIND.
Our special guest speaker will be Anna Pinkerton.

About Anna
Anna supports all those in public life for example; entrepreneurs, executive managers, directors, actors, sports personalities, lawyers. She helps them recover and be back into business, work, & sport when something unexpectedly horrific has ‘shunted’ them out of life as they knew it.
She also helps people who have been through a gradual build up of multiple stresses that have become overwhelming. When people get to the point where they say ‘I can’t do this anymore’
Anna knows that traumatic life events can cause a person to feel entirely broken to the point that they don’t recognize themselves or their lives.
With 20 years of experience Anna is known for her building of relationships with people struggling to get back to their successes, both personally and in public life she finds where experience works for people and where it holds them still or in private turmoil. Anna makes a unique space for discovering the power beneath the stuff we ‘tuck away’, whether it be sudden events, long terms pains or hidden talents.

We have special guest speaker Deborah Ogden speaking about First Impressions, Impact & Influence covering creating a great first impression. This will be an an interactive session showing you how to show your personal brand and stand out from the crowd..
About Deborah

Before launching her own company, Deborah Ogden had a career in marketing and communications with the British Heart Foundation, CIS, Lancashire County Cricket Club and CragRats.

It became clear that some of the principles of publicity and impact she used routinely within large organisations could also be essential tools for individuals who need to project their own personal brand. Working with individuals and groups, delivering one-to-one sessions and workshops, Deborah Ogden uses her training and experience to help people stand out from the crowd and have the confidence to perform to their best.
Networking and pitching for business are not easy, especially when times are tough. As an experienced Media Manager and a specialist in appearance, non-verbal communication and confidence building, there isn’t much Deborah doesn’t know about getting your personal message across.
And by the way, if you think it’s all about heels and tailoring for Deborah, you’re wrong! Her husband and young son make sure that Saturday mornings are spent on the touchline at football practice kitted out with wellies, waterproofs and a flask of coffee!
