July 2010
Hi
July has nearly been and gone and a lot has
happened; Spain won the World Cup, Cheryl Cole caught Malaria, BP's chief
executive decided to jump ship (or is that oil rig?) and David Cameron
managed to annoy Pakistan by answering just one question! As it has been so
busy we have featured some of the most topical news in this month's In Focus and Thought of
the Month pieces.
We have got Graham Proud, one of our most popular
trainers to write the Trainer's Tip; he
has chosen to focus on body language, it makes for some interesting
reading!
We hope you enjoy ...

Body language. The hidden form of communication; well
technically we use the word 'hidden' loosely as I am sure we have all been
in situations where a person's body language couldn't be any more obvious
without the use of a sandwich board!
Our silent language is incredibly important, which
is why Graham Proud, an experienced Righttrack trainer, tackles the issues
surrounding facial expressions and body language in this month's trainer
tip; vital elements to master for future success in both your
private and work life.

Every month there seems to always be something in the
papers about one of our major politicians saying something that is seen to
be inappropriate, which seems quite unbelievable considering someone is
paid to write 90% of what they say in the public domain!
Communication is
a very important tool for everyone although it would be fair to say that it
probably isn't given the focus it always deserves, which is why Gemma
Middleton is putting communication under the spotlight for this month's In
Focus
piece.

The diversity of the UK is arguably one of its main
strengths, yet it is also one of the main areas that causes businesses so
much trouble because of a simple lack of awareness, knowledge and respect.
Righttrack has delivered
hundreds of equality
and diversity training programmes. Whilst equality and diversity
training can initially be met with trepidation by a small few, normally
individuals that are in most need of training, the comments after a
programme show just how worthwhile the entire experience has been.
Legislation is continually changing. Take the latest
scrapping of the retirement age and the soon to be announced cap on
immigration, all of which means there is a constant need to be mindful of
diversity issues.
Righttrack has an extensive equality
and diversity collection, which includes, age
diversity, disability
equality and The
Equality Act 2010. To find out more get

John Freshney has posed the following thought for July:
"As a trainer, when asked the question,
"what is the meaning of accountability?" it is sometimes hard to
find a good example. So, if anyone wants an example of what accountability
means, then they need look no further than at Tony Hayward, the out-going
BP Chief Executive.
The Deep Water Horizon disaster has taken its toll
on the environment, the value of BP shares, and finally (and some might say
deservedly) on BP's long time Chief Executive, Tony Hayward."
