As part of the lead up to our collaboration event at West Byfleet on the 19th October with SounderGolf, we sit down with James Day to run through the iconic clubs from the last 40 years. eBay and used club retailers can be over-facing at times with the vast array of equipment from yesteryear, so this episode is a great peak behind the curtain on what to keep an eye out for online and why building a set of pre-loved clubs is not just rewarding, but often more beneficial for your game than you might think.

This week I chat to the lovely Noreen from West Byfleet who's just turned 9 months sober. Noreen has had several previous years of sobriety under her belt, but went back to drinking before getting fed up and quitting again. She has worked really hard on making sobriety different this time and focusing much more on her emotional sobriety and overall wellbeing. Noreen is honest, she is frank and we both share a deep connection with our painful 'mother wounds'. Happy listening.

After conducting extensive studies into the effects of workers returning after long absences, executive coach Lisa Carver has become one of the foremost authorities on managing returners effectively. This Episode: Managing Returners Masterclass – with Lisa Carver In this week's show, Lisa joins Lucinda to deliver a masterclass on how to best reintegrate workers who have been away from business for some time. They discuss the effects on both worker and company. Furthermore, it is a conversation that'll ensure you'll be better equipped to deal with the return of furloughed workers in the wake of the COVID-19 quarantine period. Indeed, managing returners for any period of absence. KEY TAKEAWAYS Studies have shown that over 50% of workers who leave a company within two years of taking maternity leave. Interestingly they did so because of the lack of support they were shown during their leave. Certainly, the psychological implications of going on leave are very rarely considered. We go from spending half our lives in a working environment, and then having that social factor removed entirely for a length of time. Identity is a crucial factor in re-integrating staff. Often, the roles we once considered vital can become redundant when left empty for a time. We need to ensure we separate the person from the role. Without a doubt, communication is key through prolonged absence. Furthermore, we need to make sure we do not create a void where the sense of routine and the feeling of an open channel slowly disintegrates. The quarantine has highlighted many areas in which our companies have failed, but also how they can operate more efficiently. Certainly, flexible working will be widely adopted, going forwards.
