Barbican Library, Thursday 14th November, 3-7pm
Library Arts Space
The dragon cafe is a project to improve mental well-being in the City and a regular one runs at one of the City’s other libraries. This is the first time they have run on at the Barbican library – and they are keen to let you know about it.
15:00 – 16:00/ How do we build lasting and lovely working and business relationships? One exchange at a time. It is the quality of the communication that creates the ground for enjoyable, successful work together. As Simon Sinek says, “Be the boss you wish you had!”. Join Maggie Sawkins this session, focusing on how empathy with others (and ourselves) works to everyone’s benefit. Who doesn’t want serene days at work, making great things happen?

SIPT™ is based on John’s 24 years of military experience and dealing with a challenging transition from the military
