Last week was full of big things as we hosted the Mediation Symposium. Our key note speaker flew in from New York, the Northern Ireland Justice Minister gave the opening address and we had a grand total of 27 speakers/facilitators contributing to the event including two Presidents (Law Society and MII).
In Dublin, Heather hosted 4 events across 2 days in the iconic ‘Croker’.
This week is as busy as ever as we prepare for another 3 events in the north. It’s full steam ahead! Flat to the mat! Pedal to the metal! Or whatever you want to call it?
Movements for the week .....
Our CEO and MD, are part way through their Train the Trainer course in Dublin with another two days accounting for Monday and Tuesday of this week. On Monday evening Barry will be taking to the skies again in the Legal-Island hot air balloon which is taking part in the Irish Balloon Championship 2011.
On Wednesday Barry's back in the office meeting publisher Claude Costecalde. On Thursday he's at a seminar in the morning learning how to speed read (a timely course for someone still with 500 pages to read of War and Peace perhaps?). In the afternoon he's at the CIPFA conference at the Europa. On Friday he's free all day; for the moment at least.
Scott is chairing a meeting of the HR Network on Tuesday. The guest speakers will be Colin Maxwell and Mark Reilly from The Belfast Telegraph’s NI Jobfinder. Also in attendance will be John, our Email Service Manager. He's going to spread the good news about our Employment Law Email Service.
On Wednesday, Scott will be facilitating the Discipline & Underperformance workshop with Lorraine Toolan from the EEF. This event has sold out and promises to be a great day of learning.
Scott will be working from home on Thursday and will be attending Legal-Island’s strategy day on Friday. In the evening Scott will be attending a talk at the University of Ulster on the development of international criminal law, specifically in relation to the special court for Sierra Leone experience.
It’s another busy week for Kerry as she prepares to host three events:
• Winning Tenders in Northern Ireland
• Discipline & Underperformance
• Delivering Workplace Investigations
Heather continues her hard work on our volunteering and fundraising activities as she meets David Fitzsimons, Volunteer Now regarding the Investing in Volunteers for Employers (IIVe) UK Standard. She is also meeting Lisa Brockerton from YENI regarding volunteering opportunities for Debbie and herself. On Friday Heather has organised a coffee morning in aid of McMillan. Some of us have volunteered to make buns and cakes for this, will it be the Legal-Island Great Bake Off!
For the rest of us, we’re in all week and will be attending Legal-Island’s strategy day on Friday.
