Julian Treasure And Five Ways To Listen Better

If you think of the three tags of Advanced Presenter, Sound, and TED in one sentence, then you are probably talking about Julian Treasure of The Sound Agency.

Advanced Presenter wins Make It Happen Award

Frances Barrone Certified Lifeskills Consultant and Advanced Presenter has returned to Swindon to victoriously claim her Make It Happen Award from Swindon Business Breakfast Club. Frances was visiting family in Swindon and was inspired to pitch herself against competitors who wished to return to work or set up business in Swindon. The award was presented at the Tawny Owl in Swindon on 26th September by Maureen Inwards who is the European Human Resources Director (PP&M) for Intergraph (UK) Limited.

“Having survived some extraordinary events and traumas in life I see that emotions can affect wellness and so medically I support a holistic approach to health too, as many illness are stress induced.” she told us. “My husband Graham was keen to return to the family nest and take the Lifeskills Centre we had built up in Ireland to Swindon.”

The Life Skills Centre is very conveniently located in Rushy Platt just off Great Western Way at the end of Kingshill, Swindon. There is ample easy parking in a tranquil and private setting. Clients can experience a very relaxing and comfortable environment that offers restful and soothing surroundings whilst receiving exactly the right support and personal attention with a listening ear.
