A Breath of Fresh Air® - Autumn Event

Positive Thinking

16 October 2009

Is your glass half full or half empty? Are you facing problems or challenges? Do you see what is wrong with your business, your colleagues and your marketplace or do you see what is right?

During our autumn Breath of Fresh Air® let’s explore how we can maintain a positive outlook and the benefits that this can bring us in our life. Let’s look at how we can top up our glasses and turn problems and challenges into opportunities. We will create some time and space for you to think and to reach new heights in your business and your life.

What is a Breath of Fresh Air®?

Breath of Fresh Air® is about giving business people the opportunity and space to think and to re-energise their minds and bodies by taking them for a facilitated walk in an inspiring environment.

How does it work?

We gather at our meeting point where we have a chance to meet each other before we set out on our walk in groups of three or four. We learn the map for our journey and introduce the theme that we are going to be discussing. The route is broken down into three or four stages and the theme is also broken down into stages and questions. We stop at the end of each stage to review our thoughts and to move onto the next level.

Our theme for this walk is positive thinking – how to develop and maintain a positive mindset and how to protect ourselves from negative influences.

We change groups from time to time to encourage everyone to mix and to learn from each other. By the end of the walk you will have some new ideas, thoughts and actions to take away and will be recharged and refreshed.

We will finish this walk with coffee at our starting point and you may like to extend this by staying to chat over lunch.

Who else will I meet?

You will meet a variety of people from all walks of business life – sole traders, small companies, large corporates, start-ups and well-established businesses. Anyone who wants and needs a Breath of Fresh Air is welcome.

Is it a networking event?

Breath of Fresh Air is a learning journey with the added benefit of meeting lots of people and expanding your network.

Can I bring a guest?

Yes please. We want as many people as possible to benefit from the Breath of Fresh Air experience so book a friend or colleague in as a guest or send this invitation on to those you feel will benefit.

Where and when?

Our autumn walk will take us on a circular route from Aston (south of the River Thames near Henley), through the countryside towards Henley and back along the river towards Hambleden. It will be a gentle stroll for approximately two and a half hours. We will meet at 9.15am for a 9.30am start and return for coffee at around 12pm.

Come and join us on Friday 16 October 9.15am – 1 pm for an Autumn Breath of Fresh Air® alongside the River Thames and through the surrounding countryside around Hambleden in south Oxfordshire. Come and experience how you can bring a Breath of Fresh Air® into your business and into your life by going for a facilitated walk with a small group of people - having the opportunity to talk and the space to think. 

• See the beautiful views across the countryside, the autumn colours of the trees and glimpses of the majestic river.
