After School Matters’ Post

What a difficult day on the back of a very difficult month! I'm sharing because I think us business owners should keep things real and not just post success stories. I had to make up a lot of ground today due to circumstances beyond my control, but nevertheless were solely my responsibility as the owner of CPD Formulations. After a minor procedure in April, I ended up developing a major surgical complication and have needed surgery and ongoing care. I'm now home from hospital with ongoing treatment to follow. In the meantime, the next round of my Write2Pass face to face workshops that I scheduled in December 2023 were looming, and because I was unable to attend to them, those that had enrolled didn't receive communication about what was transpiring. Make no mistake, if I was still unwell I would have rescheduled. But I am largely recovered - what let them and me down was nobody was watching the admin side of my business and seeing that events were looming and needed to be planned for. My company is lean - I'm it. And 99% of the time I prefer it that way because I only want to deliver a standard and quality of service that I am OK with. I have struggled over the past 15 years with trying to do things myself versus trying to delegate to those I trust. It's just the hardest thing to find people who care about your business as much as you do. I post this because I wonder what others would do. Doctors often criticise others for being entrepreneurial, and I've received my fair share of that. I could have refunded the candidates fees, but instead I called each attendee and offered a solution that would benefit them, and especially, that they would be happy with. I took full responsibility, explained the situation with honesty and gave them choices about how to proceed, given they had booked flights and accommodation. I did not approach any of this purely from a financial perspective and was prepared to wear costs so that I could help out trainees that were travelling to get to me to help them. I now have accommodated trainees arriving from FNQ and Tasmania, running a workshop this Friday. I have always run CPD Formulations to help trainees and nothing has changed since I created it in 2007. I'm very disappointed I couldn't travel to the @ranzcp congress next week where I hoped to run events to speak to trainees, in conjunction with BluePrint Medical . I have a lot more in store however, including workshops on the Gold Coast next month, as well as focusing on my continued recovery.

The series of Alternative Provision Events are gaining momentum, and we are excited about seeing you in-person very soon. Thank you to each and everyone one of you who have already registered to attend, booked a stand, and asked us a question. We love questions so much, that we made a list! 🤩 Here are just a few FAQs about our Alternative Provision Event series: ❓ Who are the Alternative Provision Events for? They are open events for SENCOs, caseworkers, parent guardians, and other interested professionals. Offering a chance for those often working in silos to connect, build relationships, and share best practice to better serve the SEN, EBSA, NEET learners. ❓ Do I need to be based within the region/town of the event (e.g. Buckinghamshire or Oxfordshire)? No not at all. As long as you are keen to learn more and are looking for the opportunity to connect with fellow alternative provision providers in the local area, then this event is for you. ❓ How long do the events last? Each event lasts two hours, starting at midday and ending at 2pm. ❓ How much does it cost to attend alternative provision events? It costs absolutely nothing to attend as a delegate. But we do ask for early registration as spaces are limited at each venue. We do offer multiple promotional opportunities, from advertising in the digital brochure to exhibiting spaces. If this is of interest, please email events@educationboutique.co.uk ❓ What is the programme for the event? With networking and connection at its core, the events will also offer three inspirational talks, and a chance to meet over a dozen local alternative provision providers.

The 2 Most Important Lessons I Learnt at my Alumni Cocktail Yesterday, I attended Redeemer's University's alumni cocktail, and it was an amazing experience! I've been busy with events lately, but this one stood out. Meeting successful alumni and hearing their stories was truly inspiring. One person who made a lasting impression was Samuel Akinnuga . His wisdom and generosity left me motivated to achieve more. Here are the two key lessons I took away from the event: My Lessons: - Connections and networking are powerful - surround yourself with people who support and uplift you. - Learn to sell yourself and showcase your value - can you pitch yourself in under 30 seconds? As a Physiotherapist starting out and exploring the tech space, I'm now more determined to find my niche and grow. I'm excited to apply these lessons to my journey. What stood out to you during this course of this week? Share in the comments section 👇

This is very exciting. Participants during prior summits raved about this training. Ten more professionals in the health sector will now be fully armed in cyber threat intelligence thanks to Health-ISAC and Cyware. #cti #threatintelligence #healthit
