Presenter - Sarah Collier, KBL Solicitors
Topic - What is (Workplace) Sexual Harassment? #WorkToo
Following the allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein and the uprising of the #MeToo movement, the focus on sexual harassment has spread not only to encompass individuals but also companies to which these individuals are employed. Sexual Harassment is a serious workplace issue but often staff and employees do not know what is or is not sexual harassment. Our session will examine the issues surrounding sexual harassment in the workplace including answering the question ?what constitutes sexual harassment in the workplace??
We will include group work / anecdotal examples to explore the issues of sexual harassment in the workplace and ask what constitutes sexual harassment? We will then look at the legal definition of sexual harassment and revisit the feedback from the earlier group work to establish whether they were right!We will also look at dealing with allegations raised by employees in the workplace and how businesses can protect against this and deal with it in a manner that will minimise the risk of Employment Tribunal claims.
Sarah Collier ? Sarah has practised exclusively in employment law since qualifying as a solicitor in 2009. Sarah advises businesses on a multitude of HR/employment law issues and has particular expertise advising on discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Sarah also delivers training to clients at external events and also in-house training to the wider workforce on a range of employment topics including sexual harassment.

Presenter - Bernadette Willems, Business Peacemaker
Topic - Finding your Inner Genius for Ultimate Business Success
Could happiness and success really be as simple as doing tasks that we love and are good at?
Join us and enjoy:
? Understanding the Art of Communication enables you to resolve internal and external conflicts in both your business and personal life. Many disputes or problems between individuals, in both personal or workplace relationships, or within teams are compounded or aggravated because clients do not understand each other or each other?s way of thinking.
? Understanding your Inner Genius enhances the levels of trust which quickly improve behaviour (leading to Revenues) and increasing the flow of natural energy which impacts bottom line results (leading to Profit)
? When applying these principles, sustainable improvements and results occur very quickly between individuals, entire teams, your clients and stakeholders, bringing ultimate business success, enabling them to identify ways of building or maintaining Trust, and what keeps people in flow doing what they naturally love to do.
? The resources Bernadette uses are both life and personal development tools, which are there for the clients to use to help them achieve a satisfactory and healthy work/life balance.

Presenter - Harrison Drury
Topic - A Mental Health and Wellbeing Toolkit
This seminar will provide a practical guide to help attendees to manage mental health in the workplace. It aims to assist an employer in determining what they can, can?t, should and shouldn?t be doing in different types of circumstances involving sensitive, challenging and varied mental health issues with employees.
Managing mental health in the workplace can often be difficult and intimidating. In particular, there tend to be two kinds of situations that employers have to deal with:
1) Known conditions
2) Conditions which are not known to the employer or which take them by surprise
In this seminar, we will look at the approaches available to employers when an employee makes a condition known to them.
We will also look at how an employer should deal with conditions that are not made known / pro-actively declared / formally diagnosed as these can be particularly difficult to deal with if, perhaps, an employee?s behaviour changes.
The next section of the seminar will cover preventative measures that an employer can look at ? one primary example of this is flexible working.Presenters

Presenter - Amit Wason - CBiz
Topic - Marketing is a marathon not a sprint
Marketing is often seen as a "thing to do" when we have time and are not busy - as something that can be done later or outsourced. Often, we expect to be able to turn it on and see leads increase. While this may work for some types of businesses, for many - especially more complex and service type ones - that just isn't the case.
In this seminar Amit will cover how over the years he has seen the need for marketing grow and the way to market change dramatically. Having tried several different approaches to marketing - and seeing what worked and (more often) what did not - he has seen that content marketing is a powerful way to get your business known and to get leads in. However, content marketing is more of a marathon than a sprint and you need to be in it for the long haul.
The objectives of the seminar are to:
- Understand why content is king
- Realise the ownership & drive needed
- Formulate an idea of who can do the marketing
- How to get started
- Putting time in your diaries for this
- Making it part of your working week (every week)

Topic - The 9 Steps to Sales P.O.T.E.N.T.I.A.L
CONTENT
The 9 Steps to sales P.O.T.E.N.T.I.A.L. is a step by step process that enables you to achieve success in your business meetings and ensure that you have a formal, effective sales process, otherwise you will be subject to your prospects process. Which is:
- How can you help me?
- What are your ideas to solve my problems?
- How much is it going to cost?
- Send me your proposal.
What happens next? You send them your proposal and they do one of three things:
- Send it to their existing supplier,
- Decide to do it themselves.
- Or even worse, use your proposal as a template to send to your competition.
The 9 Steps to sales POTENTIAL will help you keep on track, know where you are in the conversation and allows you to keep control, it give all parties a clear understanding of what happens next and either do the deal, arrange a further meeting, or be prepared to walk away.
This structured approach will enable you to create a positive, engaging and professional impression from the moment you enter the room to when you leave it.
The session will include active participation from the delegates and in so doing they will leave with a formal business winning sales process.
