These free events are open to all PESGB members regardless of age and experience 

Andrea Pearce is an experienced Business Psychologist who has worked with many people who want to find work, or change careers. She is delivering a series of FREE 2 hour workshops for PESGB to inspire and motivate through the current downturn, covering helpful areas such as influencing mindset and self-belief; recognising personal values and transferable skills; developing networks and accessing/influencing the unseen job market; empowering to tell and sell influential stories, including through social media; making an impact at interviews; and keeping motivated through set-backs.

Each workshop covers one or two of these areas, using a mixture of individual, pair and group activities to keep things interesting and fun. Even more importantly will be the opportunity to get to know each other better, networking and building a stronger support group. All the activities and tools are proven to work, both through research studies, and more meaningfully, people who use these tools go on to find work or more fulfilling careers. You will be challenged to think differently, will go away with new tools and ways of thinking to try out, and will also have fun!

All the workshops will build on the previous ones, but can also be attended as stand-alone sessions. The first workshop includes:

• Recognising and understanding mindset – how challenges/change we go through affects our self-esteem and self-belief, and the benefits of challenging our thinking
• Identifying and reframing limiting self-beliefs – how these impact and influence our thinking and behaviour, and how we can recognise and reframe to lessen the negative impact
• Exploring personal values – how these help us understand what is important in our personal and working lives, and the benefits of taking time to recognise, explore and celebrate these
• Developing own support team – understanding the benefits of networking and building on support we already have
