LUNCH AND LEARN

WEDNESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY | 12 TIL 12:30

 

What a great first session!

 

Thank you to those who joined us in the coworking space for the first session of Lunch and Learn.

 

The next session will take place on Wednesday, the 14th of February. It will involve a specific topic of conversation for us to discuss. 

 

Lunch and Learn allows you to chat with other members as you delve into current projects, explore hot topics, and engage in casual networking. It's the perfect time to share insights, collaborate, and foster connections with fellow members over a light lunch.

 

See you there!

BODY CALIBRE

WEDNESDAY 24TH JANUARY | 10 TIL 1

 

Regardless of age, gender, weight, or fitness level, body composition analysis can support anyone looking for an accurate and non-judgemental baseline for monitoring their health. 

 

Just monitoring your weight is not an accurate way of tracking your progressive changes in your health and fitness. Standing on a set of scales does not correctly identify the effect of any exercise you may do and the good or bad food choices you make.

 

Body Calibre's body composition analysis will provide you with the data and tools you need to identify what you're made of. Secondly, through personal consultations, you'll receive information and impartial, friendly advice to stay motivated to successfully reach your health or fitness goals.

 

If you want to try the machine and chat with Ed and Steve, you can book your discounted spot HERE.

LEAMINGTON SPEAKERS CLUB

TUESDAY 23RD JANUARY | 7:30 TIL 10

 
Leamington Spa Speakers Club is here to help you conquer your fears of public speaking and achieve your goals. Whether you want to make a better business presentation, give a speech at a wedding or birthday, chair a meeting, propose a toast, or say what you mean at work.
 
What to expect:
 
A mix of speaking activities on a wide range of subjects. The content is never the same, but without fail, the evenings are thought-provoking and amusing in equal measure.
 
Finally, and most importantly, an environment in which every single speaker can practice, develop and improve their public speaking skills with a considerable amount of support and encouragement. 
 
Interested? Pop along to the next meeting and get involved.
