4 weeks on and the Merseyside Police Windmills Champions are already having a positive impact on individuals, the organisation and the wider community.

Champions from different sectors which included education, health, local authority and other public services came together to explore the behaviours, strategies, tools and techniques required to add value to the new Windmills coaching process.  We are currently pulling together these rich discussions and will give you an update in our next newsletter.

We’ve always known how extremely versatile the Windmills portfolio can be – and now it seems our clients are starting to realise it as well.

Refresher Training On Offer for Champions

Licence holders across the country are being invited to contact Windmills to arrange refresher training for their Champions.

Windmills’ Directors Helen Wakefield and Peter Hawkins are running day-long session for organisations already enrolled in the Champions programme, in order to give them the opportunity to re-energise their Champions.

BT is the latest organisation to join Windmills’ ever-increasing community of Champions.

The company have become licence holders of the STAR programme, giving them full access to the STAR materials.

At the time of writing this X Factor has been won by “Little Mix” but their rise to Christmas number one is seriously under threat by Chivenor and Plymouth Military Wives Choir. Here the shared journey, growing trust and support that these women have experienced has created a momentum to make their song “Wherever you are” number one for Christmas.

The Windmills team were delighted to meet friends old and new for our annual conference, held in the stunning setting of the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool.

Professionals from a wide range of companies and organisations such as Merseyside Police, O2 and William Hill came together in November to discuss the problems facing today’s HR and L&D sectors.

The Windmills community have been working hard over the past few months to make sure they’re living the very message that No Regrets teaches. From treks along Peru’s Inca Trail, to seeing an anthology of poetry published, many people have been making positive changes to ensure they are living their Golden Ticket.

New Year, new you . . . or so the saying goes. But how many of us actually use the start of the New Year to change our lives? Or start January with good intentions, only to quickly fall back into our usual routine, wondering how different our lives could be if only . . . ?

Windmills Creates Buzz in L&D Market
