Dunblane Centre


Cynthia was asked to go along and give a motivational taster session at The Dunblane Centre's Volunteers Evening, which was held on 2nd Sept 2010.


Around 75 volunteers and potential volunteers attended the event. The support for the centre and the sense of community spirit was incredible. From youths to retired individuals, men, women and children all dedicating their time on a Friday night to find out how they could make a difference in their community!


Cynthia delivered a truely motivational and inspiring session to the volunteers and clearly delivered the importance of becoming a volunteer. She inspired passion and enthusiasm in many of the attendees.


We received some fantastic feedback some the people of Dunblane:


"engaging, thought provoking, energising and motivating"


"I felt positively motivated"


"it was very interesting, inspirational and motivating"


"it was an eye opener & an inspiration"


"I got inspired to do more to help than just volunteering"

The Dunblane Centre is truely a remarkable place, following the tragic shooting at Dunblane Primary School in 1996 people from around the world sent money as well as their condolences. This led onto the creation of the centre, which was purposely built to serve the people of Dunblane. For the full history and for volunteering options contact The Dunblane Centre on 01786 824224 or visit http://www.dunblanecentre.co.uk

Rat Nav

Our Rat Nav training programme is going from strength to strength. We are actively engaged with Falkirk Council with other Council's now interested in our bespoke programme.

The Rat Nav programme was designed by Lorraine and Cynthia out of the frustration that standard training courses were not effective in helping young people. Rat Nav is an interactive programme designed for full participation with groups of young people to help them discover available paths in life.

Magic for your Mojo baby!


These are spellbinding and magical workshops designed to boost confidence and enable transformationaly change by activating goals.

Cynthia has worked hard creating a Personal Development course that is light, fun and highly entertaining yet it delivers powerful undertones of motivation, goal setting and of course looking at development areas. It has proved to be a highly popular workshop and we have received fantastic positive feedback from participants.

The Personal Development Voodoo workshop has been delivered to corporate clients, groups of individuals and at our Here Come the Girls Events.

ACES Awards 2010

Lorraine was invited to speak at the ACES Conference in Edinburgh on 24 June 2010. The conference was filled with Executive Secretaries and PA's from across Scotland as well as a host of distinguished guests.

Cynthia and myself were there to support Lorraine and we were so glad it was Lorraine that was getting up to speak rather than us! Although nervous, Lorraine took to the stage after lunch and provided a 45 minute speech and interactive workshop on "Adding Value or Re-Thinking Values". Once up on the stage Lorraine was in her glory and no nerves were to be seen.

Lorraine successfully managed to engage with the 200 delegates in the conference room and had them all thinking about personal and work values!

Well done LO!
