Following on from the recent stress management seminar an award-winning firm of independent financial advisers is hoping to help Cornish businesses with time management and communication skills.

Worldwide Financial Planning, which is based in Truro and Wadebridge, has once again enlisted the help of health psychologist expert John Perry to lead the day.

Taking place at Alverton Manor on Thursday 24 May, John will discuss the practical application of time management principals in the morning session, and the identification of effective communication, counselling and coaching skills in the afternoon.

Peter McGahan, managing director of Worldwide, said: “Following the success of our recent seminar on stress, we thought it would be a good idea to hold these sessions with John to help local businesses.

“Companies will find out why to - do lists don’t work and unlike most time management courses this will go into detail on the emotional intelligence behind why time is actually wasted in the first place

“Time management and communication affect everyone, so we believe these two sessions with be really beneficial and help people with the successful running of their business.”

Starting at 9.30am with the time management section, and 2pm for the afternoon session, delegates can attend both parts of the day or just one.

“We are so pleased to have John as a speaker again as we had so much good feedback last time he was here,” said Mr McGahan.

“He is renowned for what he does and anyone who hears his seminars will learn so much from him.”

Tickets cost £25 for one person or £35 for two, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support.

“This was such a fantastic evening for us,” said Mr McGahan.

“There were over a hundred of the finest mortgage brokers in that room, from London to Edinburgh, Belfast and Bristol. I am sure they were all very keen to pick up a prize. For us to win one award was going to be amazing. To win four awards out of nine on the night is unbelievable.
