Hi all!

This time of year brings two very welcome breaks from work for many! At the beginning of May of course, we had May Day and then we finish with Spring Bank Holiday. Let’s hope the weather holds out and we get to lavish in the sun!

There’s lots going on in the area, May is always a busy time. With Father’s Day approaching next month we have a fabulous, alternative gift that would totally blow him away.

Why not get him in the cockpit of a 747 simulator? It would certainly be a day to remember!

We have loads of new advertisers this month. Please remember, when you call one of the businesses within these pages, to confirm that you are responding to ‘their advert in the Express’. We rely totally on our advertisers to bring you this free magazine to your door every month, so it’s important they know that their advertising is working.

Happy days.

INDIVIDUAL CAREER GUIDANCE AND COACHING Information, guidance and support from a fully qualified and experienced career guidance practitioner will give you the confidence to manage your career more effectively.

During the coaching sessions you will be given the time and space to discuss your current situation, explore a range of options and implement an action plan based on your new career goals.

What can Career Coaching do for me?

• • • • • • •

Clarify the type of work you will find enjoyable and rewarding Determine how this fits in with your life as a whole Research the job market and identify the organisations you wish to target Explore areas of work you may not have considered before Assess your skills and personal qualities and identify those areas you may need to develop Ensure that your values match those of the organisations you are interested in Consider whether self employment is right for you

How does it work?

After your (free) initial consultation we will discuss which areas you wish to address and how many sessions you will need.

A one-hour session will guide you through one area, for example writing an outstanding CV or preparing for your interview.

A progamme of several sessions is ideal if you want to take a fresh look at your career and discuss your options more thoroughly.

After each session you will have tasks to complete that relate to your career goals, and receive ongoing email support throughout.

I enjoy working with people who want to reach more of their potential, by helping them to focus on their strengths and develop confidence in their ability to change things for the better, by adopting a step by step approach to achieving their goals Career Guidance and Coaching sessions take place in the sunny, peaceful surroundings of TAC, a complementary health centre, five minutes’ walk from the centre of Leamington Spa.

Beautiful Artificial Lawns

without the upkeep!

Clean and safe ■ No mowing ■ No weeds No more muddy patches Hard wearing ■ Unaffected by weather/uv stabilized Green and usable all year round ■ Perfect for pets

Finding an artificial grass product that has the look of natural grass was never an option until recently. But with developments in the last 2-3 years we can now offer you a choice of looks that will give you the dream lawn all year round. We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.
