EXPERIENCE MATTERS
JUNE 2009 NEWS!
DEAR ALL
I am amazed that Summer is almost here! I was always told that time goes faster when you get older and it seems they were right! Of course we all know that is not the case, but it does remind us that it is never too late to change and to do new things.
BIG CHANGES
We've made some big changes at Experience Matters. We have closed our sister company Keren Smedley Associates so we can concentrate on building Experience Matters.
We've expanded our remit to include organisations. The reason for this is that so many issues affecting the 50+ have an intergenerational element and we feel it is important to embrace these.
NEW WEBSITE
OUR new website www.experiencematters.org.uk is packed with ESSENTIAL information!
* This month Diana Athill, winner of the Costa Book Prize is talking to me about her autobiographical book 'Towards the End'
* Advice from TV presenter and 'fashion agony uncle' Brendan Courtney
* Podcasts to help you manage life effectively and personality questionnaires to understand yourself better
* News items and information about our empowering workshops for individuals, organisational courses and coaching
WHO'S THAT SLEEPING IN MY BED?
My latest book 'Who's That Sleeping In My Bed? The Art of Sex and Successful Relationships for Baby Boomers' has just been published by Headline and is now in the shops! It is in a question and answer format with 40 questions that any of us might ask
We have an extract of the book on our website. Do take a look, as many of you might find useful articles and information here.
