PINNA & LSN Launch their First LEAD Cohort!
1 & 2 October saw the launch of PINNA & LSN's first LEAD cohort, the first of 5 cohorts over the next two and a half years. The group of 23 delegates got together for the first time at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel for their 'Overnight Experiential' which was a time for the group to come together, get to know one another and start to build up the trust to ensure the group gain the maximum benefit from working together over the next 10 months. Comments included
"Thankyou to the PINNA & LSN LEAD team for organising a memorable event and allowing us the opportunity to meet such great and successful people all in one go! On a personal note I'd like to thank everyone at the event because it was like a crash course in wisdom for me... THANKS! I look forward to the next stage of action & implementation... time to get the show on the road!!!"
Zubair Hakim, Tyrrells Opticians

PINNA's Youth & Community Programmes
PINNA's second 'Coaching with Young People' pilot programme started in October and, much the same as the pilot which ran earlier in the year, is receiving rave reviews. The programme aims to enhance the coaching and communications capabilities of those who work with young people. The delegates on the current pilot are drawn from councils across Lancashire. as well as Barnardos who are keen to assess the programme's suitability for use internally.
PINNA has partnered with Team Lancashire to develop and deliver a 'Solutions Focused Approach to Community Leadership' programme for councillors. This groundbreaking programme is providing councillors with new approaches to community engagement and leadership. The programe aims to help councillors improve communications; enhance partnership working; improve consultation practices and further develop their influencing skills.
To find out more about either of these programmes, contact Jo on 01995 642276 or jo@pinna.co.uk
