Floods, Clouds and Silver Linings I’m sure you remember images, like the one below, from this time last year. Many areas of Kent, including Maidstone and Tonbridge town centres, were badly damaged by the flooding that came so suddenly.

‘Make that Difference’ from ‘Drastic to Fantastic’ Clara Gibson, Life, Health and Wellbeing Coach, ACC ICF, Master Practitioner NLP, M.Sc. RGN, RHV

Many businesses, were faced with the damage to offices, with computer equipment, furniture,filing cabinets and precious documents all affected. What a lot of business owners don’t realise is that cloud computing technology can help them stay in business, even when disaster strikes. Cloud computing and, in particular Google Apps for Work, has the ability to keep your business running during an emergency. Your business and customer data is safe and accessible from anywhere, on any device. You can keep working even if your staff are in different locations, using integrated features like Google Drive for team

working, Google+ for social media marketing, Hangouts for video chat, webinars and meetings. Instead of being tied to one location, inefficient computers, unnecessary printing, or worrying that your office or business data are at risk, move your business to the cloud. Technology isn’t just about buying a new computer, it can make you more efficient, grow your business and also save your business regardless of what is thrown at you.

I can offer your company a Bespoke Guided Tour, a Walk or a Talk covering South East England. My services are ideal for the company wanting to offer a day out to important clients, or for a regular event such as a luncheon or evening club.

We can visit some of my favourite places such as The Churches of Romney Marsh,

Canterbury Cathedral, the White Cliffs of Dover, Hastings, Rye, Winchelsea or the South Downs National Park.

I work with men and women who want to get more out of their life, work, relationships, or to take control of their health. The fact is everyone can improve their lives, their happiness, their health, their effectiveness easily. So many people live their lives from day to day - at the best just ‘ok’. It is more usual for people to leave things be until they have fallen apart, or some crisis forces their hand to take action. Yet you can take action in your life and get so much more out of it before anything goes wrong. Coaching with me helps you to

experience your life in a fresh vibrant way, increasing your energy, your awareness, the possibilities in your life, improving your relationships, your sense of humour, your health and your effectiveness. Until you’ve had coaching with me, you will rarely have felt so alive!
