Week 8 - Guest Writer James

Last week’s update:

Last week proved a busy week for the conference team in Belfast and Dublin. Our new-style event ‘CPD Fest’ last Thursday certainly covered all the bases for lawyers in need of CPD training. With the emphasis on learning here at Legal-Island we’re sure to do an even better job with next year’s CPD events.

This week’s news:

This week Barry has meetings planned with Willa Mawhinney from Allianz, Tara Mullholland from QFM, David McAvery from Serious PR and Tim Lewis (Recruitment).

Scott attended a joint CIPD/Chief Executive’s Forum breakfast seminar on Monday. The guest speaker was Norris Gilliland, a Director at Peoplematters consultancy in Scotland. Norrie looked at various ways to develop leadership skills, particularly in the public sector/community sector interface and gave various examples of how his ideas had been applied to great effect in Scotland in developing community involvement in public sector initiatives.

On Thursday Scott will be meeting Beverley Lowry, ex-Head of Communications at BA about her role at the Northern Ireland HR Conference on 22 April 2010. He will then attend a Skills for Justice event on developing an integrated training strategy for the legal advice sector in NI.

No events in the programme this week; however, the countdown has started to the first of our five Annual Review Conferences, to be held on 5th November in the Red Cow (Dublin).

That’s T minus ten days folks!
