What a week it has been so far for the amazing Alex!

Turned 21 on Saturday.

Started Growing Talent Orientation and Holistic week on Monday.

We’re now halfway through with just the i-act (for positive mental health and wellbeing) training. Mental Health Training accredited course to go. The Manager’s level so pretty intense.

Monday 10th March will be Alex’s first day on site with his new employer Portico

Talk about whirlwind! This week Alex has worked through the three The CPD Certification Service certified manuals with content and tasks covering:

🎯 Employer expectations

🎯 How to stand out when you are one of many – ask Alex about the NYC taxi driver!

🎯 Effective communication at all levels

There’s more…..

🎯 The world of Unconscious Bias

🎯 Training our brain to be more resilient

🎯 What is neurodiversity? how might it show-up in the workplace? How to be an ally

🎯 Conflict identification, analysis and management

🎯 When the time comes, how to move on

And that was just book 1!!! Onto Book 2

🎯 The power of personal values and mantras

🎯 Understand how the ‘reptilian brain’ can cause issues and how to tame it

🎯 Proactive mind muscle building tools

Now to the body’s fuel…

🎯 Nutrition on a budget with simple hacks – just ask Alex about the connection between sugar and cocaine!

🎯 Personal finance tips and tricks

🎯 Impact of behaviour and how to build better connections

Are you exhausted yet reading this????

Lastly we had book 3 which is Growing Talent’s journal, art space and notes section!

Each day, Alex took note of his thoughts in the morning and reflected on the day each evening.

On Tuesday, Adam Bushell, #NikkiGallant and #BeckyShell dropped by to ask Alex about his experience. A confident, engaged speaker who enthused about his experience so far and his excitement of what lies ahead.

Adam Bushell took up the challenge to join us for some art! Kicking off with our ‘fill a heart’ task.

We often live life on auto pilot. Working hard, it’s easy to forget what really matters. A few minutes drawing the things we love within our respective hearts renews our focus on what is really important to us. It’s safe to say Picasso would have been impressed by our efforts!!!

In the feature photo, you can see Alex receiving his certificate of completion of the CPD accredited part of the Orientation Week.

Tomorrow he will hold another certificate as an i-act (for positive mental health and wellbeing) training. Mental Health Training – Managing and Promoting Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing in line with ISO45003, accredited for three years by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

Is there no end to Alex’s capacity to embrace new things and learn?

Of course not!

We know he will be amazing in his new role and add value to his team and management.

#GoAlex!
