Doing more with your time
Do you find there never seem to be enough hours in the day?
You are not alone. During times of increased stress and pressure, such as the present market conditions, how we spend our time becomes even more crucial. Too much effort on the wrong types of tasks can leave us feeling exhausted with little to show. Whilst too little effort due to feeling overwhelmed or waiting until we have perfected the task in hand means that no real progress is made.
We all know about time management. Most of us will have read (several) books on the subject or even been on a workshop or two. As leaders we are used to guiding and mentoring others in being more effective. But like all skills they can be honed and improved. The trick is to understand where the improvements can be made and what is holding you back and this master class is designed to do that. Continue reading…
Funded Support for Creatives in Scarborough
We are working with the Woodend Creative Workspace in Scarborough to put in place a funded 9 month training and support package to help local creatives expand and grow their businesses. We have had a fantastic response and are looking to expand the initial pilot to cover 10-12 creatives rather than the original 6 so we have laid on a further meeting for people to come along and ask questions…read on for more details!

Pay tax or give staff new skills?
This is something that keeps falling off our mental check list so we thought to mention it on our blog.
If your company pays tax then you can offset 100% off the cost of any training focused on developing your business against your taxable profits. Isn’t that a nice thought!
This popped up as we were working out a large staff development programme to run over the next few months with a new client. It is costing our client around £19,000 – which after the various tax calculations will cancel out half of her tax bill for her business.
The result – she gets staff who are motivated, skilled and focused on improving her business and she pays half the tax this year!
The only loser in this is the tax man Continue reading…

The most enterprising place in Europe – Scarborough!
We opened an office in Scarborough, North Yorkshire just over a year ago. As a company our clients are spread all over the UK and the United Arab Emirates so we decided it was about time that we branched out from London.
Andy has family ties back in Scarborough so we came up and had a look around and decided that having an office within 10 minutes walk of the beach sounded like a fantastic idea.
So we kept the office in London and opened up our first branch office and we love it! Since then Scarborough has won the Most Enterprising Town in the UK and now it has taken the European award as well!
It is mostly down to the fantastic work that the people over at Electric Angel have done designing the bid and nursing it through the various stages – but what a result! Congratulations Adrian & Rebecca!
We will share more of our experiences of working & living in Scarborough in the blog as we move along (ask us about our walking meetings down on the beach each Monday morning – we get so much done before we hit the office!).
