Growing Gloucestershire Conference 2009

Growing Gloucestershire Conference 2009- How to get the most out of yourself and your staff will be the secret shared in a motivational talk delivered by one of the key note speakers at the forthcoming Gloucestershire Professionals event on June 25.

Robin Fielder, managing director of LDL, a provider of leadership development, will address delegates at the forthcoming networking and educational event to be staged at the University of Gloucestershire’s Cheltenham campus.

Mr Fielder is the founder of LDL, a sales and leadership consultancy, whose forte is coaching people to grow and succeed. It boasts that more than half The Sunday Times Top 20 Best Big Companies to Work For use its services to develop their people.

Delegates will be getting something of a bargain as Mr Fielder can charge companies between £4,000 and £6,000 for his services.

“It is no secret we are in a difficult economic climate. Companies have slimmed down and some will have to go further still,” said Mr Fielder.

“But at the end of the day every company will have to get the most out of their people.

“We know the best way of motivating staff is to give them a pay rise. But we also know that ‘inspiration’ only lasts for about three days. And not many can afford to give pay rises at the moment.

“What works is good leadership and I usually start by defining what is good leadership. That doesn’t just mean the chief executive. Everyone is responsible for performance and is, in their own way, a leader.”

An estimated 170 delegates already signed up and almost 70 per cent of exhibitor space sold.

Growing Gloucestershire is a Gloucestershire Enterprise Network event and has become regular and popular feature on the county’s business calendar.

Mr Fielder is joined as a keynote speaker by urban development specialist Charles Landry, whose expertise is in demand around the world.

The 17 seminar speakers also include Adam Evetts, a divisional director at Cheltenham-based Chelsea Building Society, with a specialist in risk, internet expert Dr Search Simon Dye, legal expert Edward Davies, of Rickerbys Solicitors, and Ian Selwood, a partner at chartered accountants Randall & Payne.

Keynote speakers are being sponsored by Gloucestershire First and CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development).

Growing Gloucestershire is a Gloucestershire Enterprise Network (GEN) event and is sponsored by the CIPD, CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing), the Chartered Management Institute, and Business Link.
