Focus on You
Introduction
Focus on You is a new programme designed for employees who are looking to develop themselves and make a difference to the organisation they are in.
The programme has a number of key focus areas which include;
- Developing self awareness.
- Committing to taking responsibility for your own personal/professional development.
- Re-energising and refocusing.
- Putting yourself in the best position for the future.
- Taking stock and taking charge of your future.
The programme runs over 5 separate days and is modular based to cover a wide variety of areas designed to enhance and develop your personal and professional development.

Who should attend Focus on You?
The programme is developed for people who are not in senior roles, management or supervisory positions, so the programme is essentially available to a whole group of people who may perhaps be seeking new ways to develop themselves both now and for the future.
What will Focus on You involve in terms of time?
Attendance at 5 one day modules spread over 4 - 5 months
Small /limited amount of work between modules, there really isn't a lot so don't be put off by this!
