Your Mind at Work
Your Mind At Work Season 2 is all about the Professional Jigsaw. Like any jigsaw, pieces of the puzzle have different shapes and have to be fit together to give a complete picture. The picture, in our puzzle, is one of being professional in today’s business world. It therefore doesn’t matter whether you are self-employed, in a start-up, working in a small to medium-sized business, or in big corporate – how can you make the pieces of the puzzle work for you?
In Your Mind At Work Season 2, Pete and Jayne will each take 9 pieces of the 18-piece Professional Jigsaw and look at how each individual piece can help you to understand yourself and others at work. As with last year, Pete’s sessions will be on the third Thursday of the month at 12:00pm, and Jayne’s sessions will be on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 8:30am. Join us on Thursday September 21 at 12:00pm, when Pete & Jayne will co-host a Your Mind At Work Season 2 launch to share thoughts about what we have in store for you this year. Oh, and Pete also promises fewer pictures of brains this year!
The two monthly sessions will be as follows:
The sessions are designed so it will not matter too much if you cannot make both sessions each month, but we guarantee that you will participate in some lively discussions.
