"There's always a highlight in every conversation..."

In this week's blog we caught up with Ruth to find out all about The Consult Centre podcast!

The Consult Centre Podcast

The podcast hasn't been going very long but is already making its mark in the small business world.


Ruth explained why she decided to launch the podcast.


"There wasn't really a locally focussed podcast on local businesses," she said.


"There are some businesses doing some amazing things, not just in their business, but for the wider community.


"And they don't often get the opportunity to tell their stories and get that exposure.


"The great thing about a podcast is that it's a way of connecting to people on lots of different levels, and the consumer can listen in at a time that's convenient for them."


The Consult Centre Podcast has been so successful that we are getting guests from around the UK, even overseas!

The podcast has featured Andrew from Wild View Retreat in Portugal, as well as local business owners including Matt Jackson from Lancaster Brewery , Tarnia and Annabel from TP Financial Solutions, Jacob from Zebra Electrical, Nicola Combe from Morecambe Bay Wills & Estates , Ben Yates from BY Design , Catherine Hunt from Prime Wellbeing Foundation, Sally Wilkinson and many many more.



"It's also about people who have seen it and done it, sharing their experiences in their business, to help others," said Ruth.


"And there's always a highlight, in every conversation.


"We had Dominic Mellonie, the head of HR from Motorsport Network. He told me a story about how he nearly became an MI5 agent, and how he once mistook an MI5 agent for an air conditioning repair man!"


There are more fun and interesting stories to come on The Consult Centre Podcast in the upcoming weeks too.


And if you run a small business, we would love to hear your story too!

GUEST BLOG: When your homework is becoming true to yourself

The Consult Centre has invited local business professionals to write a guest blog. This week, it's the turn of Catherine Hunt from Prime Wellbeing Foundation...

Working through the programme for Health Creation has been a journey, with subtle twists and turns, with not so subtle heartfelt learnings and instilling a rooted fire in my belly.

You often hear people saying "it came just at the right time for me" and last March, when my clinic had to close, I delved deep into the monthly process of self-assessments and calls with a mentor.


Over the subsequent months I saw a sense of how the programme was helping me revive my connection to living a fulfilling life.

There have been dramatic changes. Not the "that's it, i'm going to join the circus and travel the world" type insights, more an unveiling of deep desires to refine and design a lifestyle I've been knowing was possible.

Becoming True to Yourself is the principle I am working on right now.

Prime Wellbeing is based in Grange-over-Sands


Homework assignments have been to 'rise rested', 'centre in' and 'I choose' affirmations to keep me focussed. What I love about the programme is the guidance the mentor has instilled in me to be my own guide, to find my own affirmations to dispel limiting beliefs and to return to a place where i am truly being more me.



Now we are drawing to the end of the taught aspect of the course I'm looking for people to be guided through the process themselves as case studies to hone my skills as a mentor.

Health Creation looks to address underlying health issues, either those that are current or in a preventative aspect. In looking at key areas of your life that effect your physical and mental health, considering your environment, key relationships and how you choose to live, you can effect your vital life force.

Each month you are invited to complete a questionnaire that creates a Picture of Health that assesses your Life Energy Factor. Between 30% and 70% can indicate a need to address health concerns to increase your vitality. Over 70% you have the opportunity to revive your lifestyle to maintain optimum health.


I am looking for 3 people to work with, and I have 11 colleagues who are also looking for a 6 month commitment to be mentored through the Health Creation programme.

Time for an update from the team!

So, what has your favourite friendly neighbourhood social media squad been up to lately?

Well, most of the team are still at home, working remotely, while Lesley holds the fort in the office.


We're all hoping that we can return to the office soon to keep her and Marley company!


The team marked International Women's Day on Monday with this post which went out on our social media profiles.

Khaalisa has been absolutely brilliant since she started as our new apprentice.

It's not easy starting a new job at the best of times, let alone when you can't meet your colleagues face-to-face.


But Khaalisa has thrown herself into her training with a great attitude and a lot of talent, as she has already displayed on her initial designs for clients.

She's doing a marvellous job!


Ruth has been extremely busy with training and coaching. I know we say this all the time, because it's always true!


In fact such is the popularity of her Facebook for Business course that the first two dates sold out and we've added some more here!

Nikki's girls left some furry friends by their mum's PC!

Nikki has had a quiet house all week since Gabriella and Sienna went back to school, so she's been hard at work booking appointments and giving the rest of the team a lot of support.

She's looking forward to having her girls back this weekend - and this photo she sent us of the two little gifts the girls left by her computer before they returned to school, had us all going ahhhh!



As for Lesley and Greg, they have been coaching Khaalisa on Zoom, while also writing monthly social media reports for our clients, and producing designs to help them celebrate Mother's Day this Sunday.

Speaking of which, everyone at The Consult Centre would like to wish all the mums and mother figures out there a very happy and special day!
