A peek inside Jessica’s Diary - Issue 3- February 2006

Hello again everyone and a belated but no less sincere Happy New Year from me, Olivia.
I do hope all the New Years resolutions are still in place! And that you’ve not slipped into old habits! Remember to make a change- no matter how small but make it different and even better for 2006.
I’m going to stick to at least one of mine and that is to keep peeking into Jessica’s diary as promised…………I’ll just tell you this first.

Just before Christmas Jessica took a very well deserved rest and flew to the sunshine,
The flight out was good but of course it would not be a Jessica break without a mishap of some sort!
There she was on the beach soaking up the rays when for no apparent reason her parasol collapsed trapping her underneath, all that could be seen was legs and arms. She had to wait to be rescued, as it was impossible for her to get up! – Well, that was her excuse! but there were plenty of young men on the beach to help! Funny thing, but apparently her parasol collapsed everyday after that !

The flight back was delayed for 3 hours, she left the sunshine eventually, only to arrive back into the U.K. to a blizzard!, she was being met by a friend who greeted her with the news that her heating at home was out of order, and there were two shivering cats waiting for her, we had to stop her getting back on the next flight out!

Jessica was back in time to join us at No 1 Harley Street for our Ladies Lunch which Lorna our Practice Manager hosts every Christmas. It was a very enjoyable affair, but it could only happen to Jessica they managed to give her lunch to one of the other ladies. This meant Jessica had to wait for them to re-cook her meal. She did catch up and was in time to order a delicious dessert. So bang goes one of Jessica’s New Year resolutions – well it was only a few extra calories! You may see Jessica out ‘Jogging them off’ during January! And we did get some extra special Christmas Crackers because of the mix up!

The year has just started but looking in Jessica’s Diary I can see it’s jam packed. Her year started with a drive to Burnsall, Yorkshire, according to some, ‘god’s country ! – if you live north of Watford anyway ! ! I know Jessica likes to drive but gets frustrated when she’s trying to find the address in the pitch dark after a four hour journey but she knows there will be breathtaking scenery when the sun rises and I know she really enjoys working with groups of chief Executives. I can see a lot of the other bookings are also retreats in various parts of the country for T.E.C.www.tecuk.co.uk A.C.E www.chiefexecutive.com and various other organizations.
The year is being booked up fast, why don’t you join us on one or two of these unique experiences, and find out for yourself why Jessica is in such demand.

Changing Your Groundhog Day. Jessica’s exceptional life changing experience for you

This training program is so successful it is now being hosted by the Academy for Chief Executives for their Chairmen and members.

If you are interested in changing your life, but are not a member of A.C.E., celebrate, as you can still get a place, contact either Jessica Richards or Joanna Jesson . The dates for these life changing experiences are; June 19th July 17th Sept 18th Oct 16th Nov 20th (See important dates with Jessica at the end of this newsletter)

Alladale the retreat venue–
A unique location for a unique experience - all in 23,000 acres ( and you don’t have to do the gardening !) www.alladale.com

I know how much Jessica is looking forward to hosting this retreat in the Scottish Highlands in May 2006 So do get in touch if you would like to discover yourself and your potential in 2006……aha! What’s this? I’ve just pinched a preview of the Brochure! I’ve popped it on the bottom of this letter.

Anglian Wolf Society – a howler of an experience !

A good friend posted Jessica a magazine called Discover, because she thought Jessica would like the article inside about Wolves. Her friend did not realize it was all about our own Wolves! - Peyto, Chezza, and the new female Sefka, it gave an insight into the work the society is doing in the preservation of the wolf and hopefully the breeding of them in the U.K. Everybody at the society is waiting to see if Chezza the alpha male has mated with Sefka. Wolves are much maligned and it is our loss that we have persecuted them for so long. They are truly magnificent in their social hierarchy, leadership skills, and conflict resolution abilities. We are learning so much about them and in turn about ourselves. The “Leadership and the Natural World” workshop is being hosted there on June 27th by Jessica Richards and Phil Watson,founder of the Anglian Wolf Society , so lets hope there are new pups running around by then, a joy for all to see. Would you like to transform your leadership skills? Want to know more and experience true leadership? If you’d like to book a place for you or your team contact Jessica You don’t have to be called Peter to be friendly with a Wolf ! and the music is optional.

Jessica’s Taster workshops are an excellent and powerful introduction to Jessica’s methods and are proving so popular that there is an extra date planned for March, soon to be confirmed. These are also great networking events and if you book onto a retreat or workshop your fee for the taster /networking morning will deducted from the fee for your next event. I don’t know, that woman’s a fool to herself!

The rest of Jessica’s Diary is filling up with one to one coaching sessions here in Harley Street, and of course her Corporate business training. So stick to those New Year resolutions and change your habits of a lifetime during 2006 by experiencing one of Jessicas program’s.

Oh, I can see exactly where Jessica will be on 5th March ……… Duxford, ‘The Fighter Collection’, Evening of 5th March 2006
One of Jessica’s, interests when I allow her time off! is admiring old Foker’s ( easy now ) and Spitfires at the exceptional W.W.II fighter collection based at Duxford Aerodrome. Jessica will be attending a rare private event at Duxford to enjoy a hot buffet, and a chance to sit in the cockpits of some of these W.W. II fighters and play Biggles for an evening! If she pushes the wrong buttons you may see her flying off into the Cambridgeshire sunset on the 5th of March. You will also get to meet her friend Ken Gray, one of the very talented pilots and engineers who rebuild and maintain the collection. If you want to join them then go to www.fighter-collection.com for more details.


Must dash now as Jessica is coming and she doesn’t like me reading her Diary !
We look forward hearing from you and seeing you in 2006.

Much love
See you soon

Visions & Legacies Retreats 2006

CEOs and Senior Directors who achieve success know first-hand about the personal and business benefits of organisational visioning and goal setting. Many, too, are ready to go beyond the limitations of standard 5-year thinking and dream even bigger dreams. Getting in touch with a more expansive vision, and creating an even richer personal legacy, revitalises and restores energy to the individual and the business. Yet opportunities – as well as practical tools and processes - to transcend ordinary visioning and re-orient to your deeper life’s purpose and meaning are rare…

In May 2006, Jessica Richards is facilitating another series of ‘Visions and Legacies’ Retreats in the inspirational and exclusive surroundings of Alladale, in the Scottish Highlands (www.alladale.com).

Date: 8th – 11th May 2006
Participants: Numbers are limited to a maximum of 8, thus ensuring true depth of experience

Jessica’s unique experience will give you the opportunity to learn with a small group of like-minded peers. She will be working ‘live’ with you, to help you discover your fullest potential and your ultimate legacy to the world. You will also learn what you need to implement and move forward with your legacy immediately. Expect to leave this retreat ready to take your life’s work forward with renewed vision, clarity of purpose and defined plans for practical action.

As one CEO said of Jessica’s last ‘Visions and Legacies’ Retreat, “What a terrific experience the retreat was! Jessica skilfully demonstrated just how magnificent human beings are… This retreat proved once again what fantastic learning and insight there is in quality time together and highlighted the imagination, fire and power each of us possesses.”

If you want to experience the power of Jessica’s processes – developed from over 20 years of practical experience in facilitating rapid growth – for yourself or for a key player in your top team, then prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience!
