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.

Personal Development Voodoo
Magic for your Mojo baby!
These are spellbinding and magical workshops designed to boost confidence and enable transformationaly change by activating goals.
Ok this one is a bit weird but then we do have Cynthia working here! lol
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.
Contact Cynthia on 0845 3383 567 for future workshop dates.

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!

First Blog
Welcome! This is the very first of our Developing Nation blogs! How exciting! I’m already considering that I’ll look back on this in ten years and read it with a cringe-worthy reflection of my waffling.
Well, we’ve had an exceptionally busy 2009 with training and events all over the country and abroad. We dove into our educational training programme ‘Rat-Nav’ which focuses on social inclusion, social responsibility, confidence building, responsibility and employability to school leavers and youngsters in their last year of school who are dis-engaged from the school system and motivates them to achieve. We have run the programme a number of times in Falkirk now across Forth Valley and in Dundee and have taken the massive leap to providing the training in schools instead of national curriculum classes for our participants. We are extremely excited that we have caught the attention of the educational system and are very enthusiastically beginning the next phase of our work with the schools. I wish I could develop my model further and put it in the hands of every single school-kid though! Watch this space!
We also launched our flagship event ‘Here Come The Girls’ in Stirling in February to fantastic press and in aid of Caudwell Children. We had over thirty business’ showcasing their products and services from Molton Brown to ******* with fashion shows, freebies galore and our goodie bags were sponsored by Boots plc. Almost four hundred ladies joined us on the day and picked up amazing bargains and free glasses of champagne while enjoying an afternoon of indulgence.
We also branched out into the corporate training arena winning contracts with Glasgow based construction and manufacturing giants, DM Design, and being approached by the UK’s largest Rail provider to deliver a bespoke equality and diversity training programme to 4400 staff! There’s nothing like being told by their HR team that they’ve never seen anything like your training before, love it and love the energy and enthusiasm you have for your work! I felt as though I had achieved what I went into the meeting to do! Amazing!
We’ve spent a lot of time this past year in London and Dublin in training and we are very much looking forward to our new business strategy to develop ourselves further in our own stomping ground and firmly establish ourselves in Scotland as the premier choice for training here now. 2010 will see our efforts double to raise our company profile here and make sure if people are choosing to train, they choose Developing Nation! Why wouldn’t you?!?
Enough Waffling!
