I was really looking forward to speaking at the Salford Recognition Event on Tuesday 8th December at Swinton Park Golf Club... and I was not disappointed! What a lovely group of people they turned out to be. What fun! They made me so welcome.
We celebrated the value that care workers bring to the local community and acknowledged the part that they play in delivering essential services in the City of Salford. Some of the services providers may have felt up to this point, that their work had been over looked or gone unrecognised, but not now.
It was super to hear the Mayor of Salford, Cllr Roger Lightup express his gratitude for all the work the carers do. He acknowledged their loyalty and commitment, as did the MC for the event, Brian Wroe.
“Success is built on your daily routines...” is expanded on a Cool Beans audio interview here.
Several of the audience asked about my jazzy jewellery. It is very affordable recycled plastic actually and available from designer Elizabeth Hinton.
Look out for the 2009 final edition of ‘Talk Confidence’ due out next week.

Hello! as soon as my husband picked me up from the golf club last night, i immediately shared to him what i heard. we talked about some of the things you said like take a risk, big ones small ones every time, everyday. and this morning i greeted myself with good morning gorgeous! and said the same to my husband when he woke up to get ready for work. i said to him, good morning gorgeous! and he replied to me good morning beautiful! ha ha ha ha. what a lift! words are so powerful, and they have an instant effect.
I also liked what you said about the daily routine that we do is what gives us success, something like that. I would appreciate it if you write to me the exact words because i loved that phrase. Especially for lone workers like me, the work that I do is mostly unseen. It is important to develop good habits and have a daily routine, small goals, and be guided by a work plan.
It was great meeting you, and being there to listen to your talk.
God bless, take a risk!
