Friday 23rd August saw Shân Cade, in collaboration with Desiray Viney and Nicky Grieshaber, run a very successful training session addressing these very questions.
Shân had developed the CLIP (Check Lists for Improved Productivity)programme. Her motto is "Make check lists work for you". Shân states "I was exposed to check lists from an early age and in my first job as a "Girl Friday" in the family business, it was here that the "official" CHECK LIST foundation was laid. My mom used check lists for everything from work related items, to social events, to school activities – the list never ending. I learnt from the best check list maker in the world.
As I matured, I started to find my "own" check list methodology coming through in my work, socially and in all aspects of life – I was simply building on the solid foundation that had been laid, enhancing something that was already good from the start and resulting in the CLIP system covered in my book.
Throughout my years in the business world and the world of volunteers I have been renowned for the use of check lists and related to that the reputation of always being on time, thorough and reliable – check lists making it happen for me"
Desiray took us through PR vs Marketing. Desiray has spent over 25 years in education and training, and is a specialist in her field. She consults with companies and individuals on all aspects of corporate communication, public relations and the media as well as values-driven leadership
Nicky is a Professional language practitioner and presenter who advocates clear and thoughtful communication, whether verbal or written. This among other things reflects courtesy and respect and builds good relationships. "The simpler we can keep our messages the clearer they will be, while by contrast, unclear and cluttered messages reflect carelessness and disrespect for the intended reader or hearer."
Thank you Shân for sharing this exciting program with us. Obviously a success when you look at just some of the feedback.
