Hello 

Serene cold winter mornings full of fresh crisp air and glistening frost presents a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for inspiration and motivation. Being inspired by the natural wonders of nature can really help kickstart your day. 

How is the new year shaping up for you as a therapy practitioner? Do you need some help to focus on your business goals? The British Psychological Society published an interesting article recently with tips and guidance on how to help you achieve any New Year's resolutions. If you would like to make changes in your therapy business this year, take a look at their recent blog "Have you set any business or personal intentions for 2020?".

We are off to a flying start this year with the relaunch of our ‘Ask the Expert’ webinar series! It’s an exciting time for us as the 20-minute episodes have been completely refreshed and reformatted and are led by our expert host, Jayney Goddard. 

Our first webinar of the series went live on Thursday 30th January with guest speaker Dr Neil Thompson of CaringBusinessBuilder helping our members get to grips with digital marketing for businesses in the caring profession. The webinar was a huge success. Listen to the recorded version here.

Sam Adams and Ed Stimpfig from Egress will be guest speakers on our next webinar taking place on Thursday 27th February @ 3.30pm, talking and answering your questions about how to ‘predict the unpredictable’ and prevent data breaches within your practice. Send in any questions you have by replying to this email, message us on social media or just bring them to the webinar and Egress will do their very best to answer them. It’s completely free to attend and you can watch live here. Don’t worry if you can’t make it live, request a recording so you can catch up later. 

I hope you find something here to ignite and inspire passion for your therapy business. Don’t forget to give 2020 a boost by signing up and tuning into our new 'Ask the Expert' webinar series. Please do let us know what you think of them. If you have any questions or queries, please get in touch by replying to this email or calling us on 01173 250990 and a member of the team will assist.

Enjoy February!
