Greetings
Welcome to our newsletter. We like to offer a change from other newsletters which can demand an awful lot of reading…

Promotional video of the week

Interesting brief video for Amnesty (duration c2 min)

Article of the week

Jeremy discusses the difference between being a leader and being in charge.

Game of the week

Nothing less than Life. Developed by a mathematician, John Conway, this simple (all too simple) game allows one to see how complex forms can evolve naturally from very simple forms. These consist of collections of ‘cells’ which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply. Depending on the initial conditions, the cells form fascinating patterns throughout the course of the game.

Joke of the week

A chap goes to the library and takes out a book titled How to Hug. Only after he gets home does he realise that he borrowed volume 6 of an encyclopedia.

Inspirational video of the week

This is uplifting. But it’s also challenging if we want to really face up to Ivan Vujicic’s message. Take a clear look (duration 4:10)

Quotations of the week

If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere

A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night

It’s often just enough to be with someone. I don’t need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You’re not alone

Marilyn Monroe, actress (born 1 June 1926)

Lunch of the month

emotional intelligence at work sponsors and hosts the Bristol NRG lunch. If you’re uncertain about how to get the maximum from networking, do contact us to discuss a short coaching programme which will pay for itself as soon as you put on clients.

The next Bristol event is on 17 June at Berwick Lodge (near Cribbs Causeway) which offers an excellent light lunch in elegant surroundings. The prelunch seminar is “So tell me, what makes you think I can refer you?” by Jill Green, a senior trainer at the Referral Institute.

The next Worcester event is on 8 June. Jeremy will give the prelunch seminar on how to stop your customers changing their minds (a nice mix of practical business techniques and emotional intelligence).

Just go here to book. Select the venue. NRG is offering readers of this newsletter who are new to NRG £5 off a lunch at Berwick Lodge, Bristol: enter the promotion code NRGKMCM.
