Exploring thought processes and the part played by feelings in motivation and behaviour will throw new light on your attitude to your energy levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turning anxieties and concerns into positive actions which get results to move you on requires information about how we arrive at our own personal log jams.

Louth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Details: Business women from County Louth will be joined by female entrepreneurs from Armagh and Down to celebrate International Women’s Day 2009 on 5th March at a special luncheon in the Carrickdale Hotel with best selling author Shelia O’Flanagan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The event, organised by Network Louth and Louth County Enterprise Board in partnership with the Enterprising Women’s Network (Armagh and Down), will follow on from the success of last year’s business luncheon in Newry which attracted over 200 guests. This year the luncheon is sponsored by Enterprising Women’s Network members Bank of Ireland, Prestige Employment Solutions and Younique Clinic, College &amp; Spa. &lt;br /&gt;Attendees will enjoy an insight into the career of guest speaker Sheila O’Flanagan, a former high flyer in the world of finance who is now one of Ireland’s best selling fiction writers. Female entrepreneurs will also have the opportunity to network on a cross border level and develop key contacts during the event.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Event Coordinator Margaret Andrews says: &lt;br /&gt;“We expect great support for this business event as Sheila is an engaging and entertaining speaker. We know her name through her fiction but Shelia’s route to fame is an unusual one, having started her career as banker and chief dealer in Dublin’s financial centre. She was also the first woman to head up a bank trading desk in Dublin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“She wrote her first book in her thirties and was offered a contract with an Irish publisher which prompted her to give up her job in banking, but she remains a regular financial columnist with the Irish Times.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheila books include ‘Connections’, ‘Anyone but Him’ and most recently ‘Someone Special’ - all best sellers in the UK and Ireland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheila will be giving an insight into her career path to members of the Enterprising Women’s Network and guests the lunch event on 5th March 2009, at the Carrickdale Hotel, Ravensdale.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost is €30 for network members, €40 for guests. Corporate tables available from €325. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6747305371643498287-8858798146466828211?l=blog.networklouth.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6747305371643498287/posts/default/8858798146466828211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6747305371643498287/posts/default/8858798146466828211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.networklouth.com/2009/02/event-notice-celebration-of.html' title='Event Notice - Celebration of International Women&apos;s Day 2009'/><author><name>Network Louth.....</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17990499726552845757'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747305371643498287.post-2319656067537583285</id><published>2009-03-01T18:38:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-03-24T21:54:16.371Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Great Minds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Gift Hall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Network Louth New Members'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clarke Training'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Integrated Coaching Solutions'/><title type='text'>New Network Louth Members</title><content type='html'>Welcome to our new members in February 2009:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Name: Derbhille Clarke&lt;br /&gt;Company: Clarke Training, Termonfeckin, Co.
