What happened in 2008Simply Red Space - two-day 'Step Back' events were held during the year. These days enable people with senior responsibilities in the workplace to take guided time-out in an inspiringly resourced venue to reflect, review and realign with support from an executive coach. To preserve the peace and exclusivity of the days, numbers are limited to six people, so advanced requests for individual and team booking is highly recommended. Contact us

Factor Me Pilot Project, February 2008 - in February we delivered a brand new programme for Connexions Herefordshire, who asked us to design a new PAYP programme for young people. Using both theatrical scenario and individual coaching we creatively engaged the young people in reviewing and re-aligning their life situations, choices, experiences and goals. "I would like to do something like Factor Me again. It helped me find different ways of making decisions and know what I want to do in the future." E, Factor Me programme

Factor Red (Changes) - we will be expanding the availability of this programme for adults and young people through our new foundation. Keep a look out for more news...  " This has to be the best course I have ever been on. It has helped me gain confidence in myself" S, Factor Red Changes programme.

BILLY - our star character, featured in the theatrical scenarios for both the Factor Me and Factor Red programmes, is getting quite a following.
