Wow just over 7 weeks to go until Christmas week!

What a year we have all had and at ICG we are looking forward to the New Year with great expectations.

 

ICG are Relocating:

To new and bigger premises near the “Portofino” site on Oxford Terrace, yes and what a great move to a stunning location on the 22nd December, what better time to relocate! We will take our snazzy blue and white workstations that we currently have to the new premises and we will have more meeting space and a fabulous boardroom for our interviews and meetings overlooking the river.

 

Temp Staff:

Have you got all the coverage you need in the office for Christmas? If you are you seeking a temp for this time, let the team know so we can prepare our candidates early to do these assignments for you.

 

Candidate CV’s:

A reminder to you all to ensure your CV is up to date and continue to polish your interview skills and make sure you aim to get feedback from your interviews.


ICG Business Exchange – Free to Business Owners:

We have started this in May 2008 and it has continued to grow – it’s just amazing. The concept is to bring local business owners together for 1 hour and 25 minutes and have the opportunity to meet new people. So if you know someone running a business or self employed – have them speak to Nikki or Richard regarding our next event in November.

 

 
 

 

 
 

 

Roydon Gibbs Asks:

Need to pitch for a lucrative contract, a prized executive position or the company vision to our staff? The success of your presentation can make a real difference. Many assume that presenting simply involves transmitting information from the speaker to the audience. As a result they focus on content when preparing and often produce an uninspiring and ineffective 'data-dump'.

 

Content is of course important, but we also need to address the context and consequences of the presentation.

 

The key is to first focus on the consequences. What is the purpose of this presentation? What do we want to happen? What result or outcome do we want? What will that look like? How will we know it has happened? With our goal clear in mind we can then address the context of the presentation. Finally, we will be in a good position to decide what content to include and how best to use it.

 

The secret: Purposeful preparation produces positive performances!

What strengths and gifts you bring to your loved ones? Your job, your employer? Your team and colleagues? Your business?
Why some aspects of your job or business just flow?

Why you love change and others hate it? Or vice versa
