Thinking Space Networking

Event Information

No time to think? This network will provide you with thinking space!

In today’s hyperconnected world, we scarcely have time to breathe, let alone think. The pace of life seems to be getting ever faster and we are constantly exhorted to get on with it and to be available on email, I-phone, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter! We often seem to be running on autopilot – responding immediately to increased pressures and demands -but are we being effective? Are we making the best decisions? Do we understand the real needs? Are we listening and being listened to?

This network is open to anyone who wants to think smarter, regardless of sector, industry, age, gender, education, status. No prior experience or qualification is necessary. It is an informal, friendly network of individuals from a range of backgrounds. Everyone is welcomed!

There will be a different speaker at each meeting to present a topic.

Aims:

  • To provide thinking space in a busy world

  • to network and share skills, knowledge and experience.

 

Course Objectives:

By attending the networking meetings you will:

  • Learn about an interesting topic from the guest speaker
