POSITIVELY POWERED LIFESTYLE ACADEMY (PPLA)


Work to live, or live to work?


By Elaine Godley MBA, FRSA, O.A. Dip (Psychology)


Are you a business owner or senior manager who is stressed, yet believe that through your ceaseless hard work you will achieve your aspirations? You’ve heard the phrase


‘work hard, play hard’… well neither really work for me. If you still feel the need to work hard to realise your goals, then maybe you don’t have your life in balance? A balanced life and business comes from the leaders achieving personal balance. Balanced leaders have their personal life, career and health all in total synchronisation. When you live a balanced life,


things come to you more easily, whether it’s in your career or business success, personal relationships or, indeed, your own health. A balanced life will give you enhanced clarity, enabling better decision making to improve your work/life balance, so you need to work less and enjoy relationships more, have better overall health and wellbeing, have more fun and live life to the full.


Learn how to rebalance your business and life in just five days! Please join me on a very special retreat in September 2017. Our venue is a homely Spanish Cortijo, nestled in the mountainous foothills, among almond and olive groves. You will learn more about yourself and how to improve your life balance in just five days than you’ve learned in your life so far. Fine wine, local food,


educational workshops, mastermind group challenges, pool, all in a safe, secure, rural environment. What’s not to like?

Students celebrate their overseas experiences, joined by Mansfield Mayor Kate Allsop, Andrew King (both centre) and college tutors


Exchange programme changes students’ lives


Young people have spoken of their “life-changing” experiences of training and working abroad, thanks to a European study and cultural exchange programme. Almost 70 students from West


Nottinghamshire College visited partner institutions in countries including Denmark, France and Germany earlier this year as part of the European social-mobility programme for education, training, youth and sport; Erasmus+. They came together at the


college’s university centre for a celebration of their achievements, which saw them give presentations about their visits, describing their experiences and the skills gained, to an audience of fellow students, parents, tutors and Mansfield Mayor Kate Allsop, who is the college’s Vice-Chair of Governors. Each trip ran for a fortnight, with


the 68 students accompanied by tutors and learner coaches during their stay. Outside of work and study, the


students enjoyed a range of recreational and cultural activities, including visiting restaurants and tourist attractions in different towns and cities.


‘Students gained Europass Mobility certificates’


Guests at the celebration event


heard how participants had gained new vocational skills and improved their understanding of different cultures and work environments. Following the visits, students


gained Europass Mobility certificates, which demonstrates knowledge and skills acquired in


another European country, together with college certificates of achievement. Mayor Kate Allsop said: “It was


wonderful hearing about the different experiences the students had. Listening to how they adjusted to their new environments, enjoyed meeting new people and exchanging ideas was inspiring. “Watching their faces as they


told their stories, I could see that the impact is going to stay with them for the rest of their lives. I am so proud of Mansfield’s students.” This was the second successive


year the college has taken part in the Erasmus+ scheme, after more than 50 students enjoyed overseas placements during the initial programme in 2016. It was followed by an exchange visit by students from Finland and Germany later that year.


Nurturing young entrepreneurs


Business leaders have again shown support for entrepreneurs of the future by backing the annual Mansfield and Ashfield Junior Enterprise event. Founded in January 2012 by a group of local


employers and partners that felt passionate about developing entrepreneurs of the future, the event is organised by Mansfield and Ashfield 2020 and The Evolve Trust, working with Malcolm Hall MBE (pictured), of Hall-Fast Industrial Supplies, and helping him fulfil his vision to give every young person an opportunity to aspire. The event targets Year Nine students and develops


enterprise skills by offering opportunities to learn and develop the entrepreneurial characteristics of tenacity, independence, innovation, imagination, risk taking, creativity, intuition and leadership. Each team is mentored by a local business leader


to provide an understanding of how to set up a small enterprise, make a product and sell it on Mansfield market. Year-on-year, the event goes from strength to


strength and has attracted nine local schools to compete this year.


Each entry is judged by members of the business


community to compete for a prestigious title, presented to the winners at the Junior Enterprise Awards Evening in July. The evening showcases the 70 young people that


have taken part in the competition with the potential to walk away as a winner of one of the seven awards categories. Caroline Cox, of Mansfield and Ashfield


2020, said: "We are giving young people a sustainable event that provides valuable work-ready skills. “Each year the awards evening


provides the opportunity to celebrate and nurture our future workforce and to inspire them with a local success story, to demonstrate with drive and determination they can become a success.”
