Creating Confidence Workshop with Faye Smith (24th May, 2012)

A bit about Faye

Faye Smith has over twenty years experience of sales and marketing - from managing leading retail brands like Debenhams and Principles, to managing Europe's first retail academy at Meadowhall. Along the way she's gained vital qualifications like bra fitter, job club leader, business counsellor and image consultant.

As head of sales and marketing at Rotherham Chamber-TEC throughout the nineties, Faye was responsible for supporting thousands of Rotherham businesses and international inward

investment. The birth of her second child caused her to completely re-think her life, starting her own consultancy alongside five years of marketing contracts in the voluntary sector. Two years ago she fulfilled her dream of becoming a full time entrepreneur, setting up Keep your Fork marketing and training consultancy. When Faye isn't helping helping charities, social enterprises and smaller businesses find and keep customers and funders, she will be helping students develop more confidence, employability and enterprise skills as they go into the world of work.

Her award-winning customer service training has been featured on all four major TV channels and in the national press. You will also hear some of Faye's refreshingly outspoken regular guest slots on self esteem, relationships and women's issues on BBC Radio Sheffield.

A bit about the workshop

Hold onto your hats while Faye inspires and energises you with another of her trademark hands-completely-on workshops, "Creating Confidence: 10 top tips to becoming a more confident YOU in work and life."

Faye's workshop is part motivation, part professional development, part therapy: 100% practical, easily implementable, 'why didn't I think of that before?' value.

We will explore together:

What exactly is self esteem?
Causes of poor self image
Symptoms of poor self esteem
Ten top tips to create more confidence

Created in response to audience questions during her trademark personal branding workshop, there's no better time to discover and defeat the dark side of low self esteem. Those black days when everything gets too much and you feel like you just want to pull the duvet over your head.

Delivered in Faye's well known humorous and fast paced, interactive style, this practical workshop will put potentially life-changing tools in your personal skill tool kit to face and beat lack of self-confidence. Unmissable.

Come and see for yourself...

A bit from our customers

Social Event (7th June, 2012)

Come to our monthly social event.

JCI Asia-Pacific Area Conference (7th June, 2012 to 10th June, 2012)

JCI's Asia-Pacific Area Conference for 2012

JCI European Conference 2012 (13th June, 2012 to 17th June, 2012)

The conference motto “Enjoy…every first second” relates to the atomic clock which is situated in Braunschweig and provides the time of the day for the whole of Germany. In such an atomic clock the length of a second is deduced from the periodic vibrations of caesium atoms and transmitted directly, for example, to all radio alarm clocks and station clocks in Germany.

As a JCI member, you have the opportunity to attend several JCI conferences throughout the year. The two biggest are the European Conference and World Congress. JCI UK sends a large delegation to both. If you go along, you will:

see the big picture of JCI and learn how it works
bond with the people you’re travelling with
expand your network as you meet many international JCI members
make friends with open-minded, supportive people who will encourage you to reach your goals
have an enormous amount of fun.

Conferences offer high-quality training, lectures and keynote speeches (often on topics such as leadership, management and entrepreneurship).

They also lay on social events. During big conferences, different JCI countries host the evening parties. You could find yourself tasting sushi at the Japanese night, tucking into smørrebrød at the Danish party and slaking your thirst with sangria at the Catalonian evening.

JCI members find that conferences are a fantastic investment. You’ll come back feeling energized, inspired, and with a bulging contacts book.

JCI Global Partnership Summit 2012 (25th July, 2012 to 27th July, 2012)

Active Citizenship for a Better World

"Looking ahead to 2015 and beyond, there is no question that we can achieve the overarching goal: we can put an end to poverty ... But it requires an unswerving, collective, long-term effort."
-United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

Why Global Partnership?
Imagine a better world. A world with no wars, no poverty, no sickness. Now, how are we going to get there?

No single entity can answer the world's greatest challenges alone. The three sectors each have a unique and crucial role to play, and only through collaboration will we realize the better world we are working for.

At the 2011 JCI Global Partnership Summit, active citizens from around the world united with leaders of business, civil society and government to explore ways to work both individually and collectively to enhance grassroots efforts to advance the UN MDGs. In 2012, we're taking action to apply these powerful ideas to our countries, our communities, our backyards.

Through interactive discussions, workshops and case studies, JCI members, partners and participants will engage these concepts viewed through the unique JCI perspective as the leading global network of young active citizens.

Objective
The Summit will focus on arming active citizens with the tools and information necessary to impact their communities through targeted action and strategic partnerships.

Expected Results
The Summit aims to accomplish the following

Engage thought leaders from the three sectors to explore best practices in collaboration, leading the conversation with the unique JCI perspective
Highlight strategic partnerships and how they can be implemented at the local level to build a better world and advance the UN MDGs
Showcase stand-out projects from all three sectors to motivate and inspire active citizens to create positive change

Participants
The Summit is open to all members of JCI. In addition to JCI members, a number of UN officials, representatives of JCI's global partners as well as Global Compact companies will attend. Normally not more than 200 people attend so it is a great opportunity to get to meet and socialize with people you otherwise only see from a distance.

He's been a member of JCI since 2008 and enjoyed every minute of it. In 2011 he made his first international trip to the World Congress in Brussels, which was an amazing opportunity to meet fellow members from around the world and learn many new things.

Lean Thinking & How to apply it to your life!

You may have heard great things about 'Lean' as an improvement approach over recent years, but still left wondering what it actually is?!

This session will use an interactive simulation to demonstrate the 5 lean principles and in true JCI form, will be a very much 'learning by doing event'.

Lean can be used to improve flow and eliminate waste in many industries after originally being developed by Toyota. Lean is basically about getting the right things done, to the right level of quality, at the right time, in the right quantities, while minimising waste and being flexible and open to change.

JCI Sheffield Directors Dan Senter and James Alcock will be hosting the session. Dan has over 8 years' experience working in continuous improvement having worked in a number of organisations who have successfully implemented lean tools and techniques to their business. James is still on the 'lean journey' however is working on adapting lean methodology into software development.

Government Leadership Summit (21st September, 2012 to 24th September, 2012)

To make an impact in our local communities, we need to know how we can participate in and contribute to the public discourse.

This summit, Friday evening to Monday afternoon, will help participants understand how they can be a part of and make the most of public forums for discussion, local council and governments and the press.

The summit will among other look at the role of JCI in public life in Britan, how lobbying works, how to make an impact through PR and how to use public forums.

The summit will end Monday afternoon as Monday morning will be spent in the parliament together with representatives from our local communities. It is hoped that this relationship built on the day can continue at home and be a base for cooperation back in our local chambers.

More information is forthcoming.

JCI World Congress 2012 (18th November, 2012 to 23rd November, 2012)

2012 the JCI World Congress is back in Asia.

Have a look at the beautiful logo, do you see it's a dragon? You can read more at the website: jciwc2012taipei.org

Logo Concept

1. Year 2012 will be the year of dragon, according to the Chinese Zodiac. Coming out together with the dragon and the number of "2012" means the combination of eastern (the dragon) and western (4 digits) culture.
2. The dragon is the leader of 12-animal symbols in the Chinese zodiac. JCI is the leader of young entrepreneurs' associations, JCI Taipei is the leader of JCI local chapters in Taipei Metropolitan Area, and Taipei is the leading metropolis city in Taiwan.
3. A jumping dragon means an active leader. The dragon was drawn in Chinese calligraphy painting and in form of circled ribbon. The circle means "completion" - success and achievement.
4. 2012 is drawn by calligraphic painting too and was in form of colorful clouds. Clouds 2012 rises and accompanies with the jumping dragon going toward to JCI (in form of its official logo) and the World Congress. The whole picture presents to keep moving forward year by year. This idea is very similar to "Be Better" concept from JCI - always stepping toward a better world!
