Dear All, Again, apologies for yet another mid-monthly email. However, we have an opportunity open to UNLOCK members to attend a free workshop at the beginning on March so we needed to circulate it in advance of our ordinarily monthly e-newsletter.

Free Business Coaching Workshop - limited places left! Carole Ann Rice of The Real Coaching Company will be holding a free business coaching workshop in London at the beginning of March this year. The workshop is aimed at entrepreneurs and those entering the world of business from disadvantaged backgrounds and is funded by BIS as part of the Transformation Fund. The aim of the three hour workshop is to motivate, focus and inspire participants to create a clear and successful strategy for goal fulfilment and beyond. The workshop will cover goal setting, overcoming procrastination, overcoming limiting beliefs, increasing the visibility of your brand, networking and time management among other key topics. Additionally, worksheets and handouts will be made available for attendees to take away on the day, ensuring continued personal development. If you are interested in attending this event or know someone who could benefit, please send your full name and email address to shashank@schoolforstartups.co.uk to be shortlisted. Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis and the event organisers will contact you with further information about the venue, date and agenda for the workshop. Best wishes, Christopher Stacey LLB LLM | Information & Advice Manager UNLOCK, the National Association of Reformed Offenders | 35a High Street | Snodland | Kent | ME6 5AG
