Think Smart For Peak Performance |
Date | Wednesday 18th February 2009
Time | 18:30 - 20:30
Venue | Radisson Hotel, Golden Lane, Dublin 2
Please join us for our February event where Valerie Pierce, Director, Clear & Critical Thinking LTD will deliver a talk on "Think Smart For Peak Performance". Success in business in 2009 will require a quality of thinking that is sharper, leaner and one step ahead of the competition. |
| Innovation requires a blend of creativity, clear thinking and the ability to get things done.
Valerie Pierce, Creator of the Clear and Critical Thinking training programmes and author of 'Quick Thinking on Your Feet', will run through some simple thinking techniques to enhance our peak performance in troubled times. Through her unique style we will learn to USE the 3 most common barriers to productive thinking.
• Fear
• Assumptions
• Knowledge
Change your Negative Thinking into Positive Action and so achieve your most important business targets and goals (yes, it can be done!)
Ranked as one of Ireland Top 50 Most Influential women in Irish Business (Sunday Tribune) and winner of the Network Dublin Entrepreneur of the Year 2008, Valerie Pierce has been described by The Irish Times as a modern philosopher in the marketplace.

Healthy Start to 2009 |
The O' Callaghan Davenport Hotel was the place to be on the evening of Wednesday 21st January as 70 women gathered for our first event of the year.
Network Dublin President Mary Kershaw welcomed members and guests and also introduced a 10 minute structured networking session facilitated by Tricia Murphy. Our congratulations to Sarah Bird of sarah121.com who made the "Most interesting discovery" during our structured networking, having given former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher a facial!
This was followed by speaker for the evening Paula Mee who gave a stimulating and informative talk on nutrition and what we should be eating... definitely plenty of food for thought - thanks Paula.
A particular highlight of the evening was the presentation of a cheque for €4,000 to Tricia Murphy on behalf of Aids Partnership with Africa www.apa.ie. This was the money raised from the Christmas luncheon raffle- many thanks to all our members and guests who gave so generously to this cause.
