Become a qualified hair extension technician this summer

As the heat turns up this summer, celebrity hair stylist Diane Shawe offers exceptional training in the summer’s latest hair trend.

Predictions abound for the coming summer to be another scorcher, the trend for hair extensions is hitting headlines with TOWIE and Miley Cyrus amongst others. An expert in extensions, Diane Shawe has teamed up with Groupon to offer cut price courses to professionally train salon owners, stylists and enthusiasts in natural looking hair extensions.

Previous years have seen summer styles favour the short; taking the heat off the head. But… Oh! Those summer nights. Tell me more. As the evenings close in, unpinning long locks to wrap around shoulders is the perfect solution to shivering in the evening calm.

Specifically designed to showcase the most natural and seamless hair extensions, Diane’s courses range from a half day preparatory course at just £49 to the full day special, where delegates will gain globally recognised accreditation from the IAO for £99. Both courses are designed to bolster professional qualifications, and can be used to practise as a hair extension trainer or consultant; earning up to £30,000 a year.

Expert in hair extensions and stylist to the stars, Diane Shawe said, “This is a great way to empower people with an interest in extensions to create longer hair, in just a day. I’ve trained for 10 years to distil the secrets into these cut price courses.”

Diane was featured on the popular Jeremy Kyle show as the UK’s top wig maker, to help a young lady who was being bullied at school replenish her hair. From wigs to extensions, Diane is an expert in hair loss and consultancy.

Designed to ensure that hair is pleasingly soft to the touch with a subtle finish, the hair extensions training academy courses divulge 16 different techniques that epitomise discretion, comfort and allure. Impervious to an outsider’s eye, the natural looking hair flows, creating the season’s hottest look for clients, friends and enthusiasts.

Investing in the low cost courses will provide high return on investment for those interested, since their current pricing, in collaboration with Groupon can lead to savings of up to £350! For existing hairdressers and salon owners, the courses enable additional income, and they are also designed to teach novice hair extension consultants and technicians too.

One satisfied student, Stacey said, “When I felt I had acquired all of the knowledge and information to start my new business venture rolling! Diane gave me information on how hair is formed, where hair is sourced from, the difference between Synthetic and Human hair, I literally wrote a training manual for myself whilst on this course.”

Having previously run courses on Wowcher, Diane has been amazed at the success of her courses and is excited to be offering this excellent price in the run up to scorching summer. She said, “I’ve had wedding stylists, photographers and total hair novices come on my courses, and because I run them in small groups, they have all received some personalised training.”

Why strategies for modernising corporate learning should focus on outcomes

there's never been a better time to start a short coureTHE SPEED OF CHANGE IN MODERN BUSINESS DEMANDS A NEW APPROACH TO SUPPORTING LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE AT THE POINT OF NEED.

article by Diane Shawe M.Ed

“THE IMPORTANCE AND EVIDENCE -BASED APPROACH TO
LEARNING USING MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IS INFLUENCING HOW INVESTMENT IN CONTINUED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF A WORKFORCE IS ACHIEVED”

New market opportunities open and close at blinding speed, new competitors emerge overnight, product lifecycles are getting shorter, and customers are more knowledgeable and sophisticated. This fast-changing environment has led to requirement to change learning and training. However more often than not, the task of aligning the learning organisation to the business can be challenging and the perception of how the business views the learning organisation in terms of aligning to strategic initiatives is different to how the learning organisation perceives itself.

Downsizing has resulted in a mass drainage and outflow of skills as employees or contractors are let go. To ensure that an organisation can compete globally and remains at par with the technological changes in the global market committing to the investment of on-going skill training is often viewed as a potential unnecessary incision into the bottom line
Start a short course to grow

Corporates, enterprises and charities all wish to run their operations at the minimum costs allowed. We all recognise that in today’s environment, business moves faster than ever. Most organisations now recognise the importance of developing a strategic approach to learning and harnessing the internal skills of their teams. Moving away from more tactical based activities associated with training such as measuring skills-based behaviours, to focusing on acquisition of knowledge and learning transfer that result in individual and organisational performance improvements.

With the explosion of mobile technology, organisations need to take advantage of the benefits, scalability, and viability of using mobile e-learning, using smart phones, tablets, and notepads that offer a blended solution.

E-learning has the potential to fully integrate the benefits of personal freedom with connectivity (belonging to a purposeful group of learners). From an educational perspective the “e” in e-learning stands for more than electronic; it can also stand for extending and enhancing the learning experience.

Fulfilling the buyers requirements

Corporate strategy for modernising learning free report by Diane ShaweThe four pillars that go to underpin the buyer’s requirements and therefore still define the industry offerings are centred on the following: • Compliance and accreditation

  • Scalable and flexible whilst achieving a real reduction in Cost
  • Improving, tracking and measuring Learners’ performance
  • Real time management, alignment and communication to support on-going changes.
  • The ability to track and report learner performance remains uppermost in many procurers’ minds.

Isaac Asimov’s quote is now more urgent and relevant if corporates are to gain a lean and competitive advantage with a progressive highly skilled workforce for the 21st century.

“No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.”

How to identify your youtube target market

The largest search engine in the world

The largest search engine in the world

10 thing you need to clarify about what your business is all about, what your brand is, and what your purpose is in the marketing world.

Article by Diane Shawe M.Ed

The following questions will help you to clarify and understand what the marketing vision of your business is all about.

1. What kind of people are you trying to reach? I’m really sure you already know the type of people that your services are directed to. You see them constantly, they contact you as well if necessary, and that will tell you what kind of people they are and how you can treat them.

2. What do they look like? Are they fat or skinny? Male or female? Old, young or middle-aged?

3. What are they looking for? What is the final goal they are after based on the service you provide? What feeling are they trying to reach with it? Do they need it to feel happy? Do they need it to survive? A lot of needs must be taken care of for a person to survive.

4. What do you actually do for them? Maybe you are already offering a service for that audience. That will give you a great vision of what exactly you need to inform any new people that fit into that same audience.

5. What kind of information would they be interested to know about and pay for? You already know the needs of your customers. You know exactly what kind of information will be highly helpful to them in order to help them to satisfy those needs. Why don’t you just create a great info-product about it?

6. How much money are they actually paying you for it? Knowing how much you usually charge them for your service is a very important indicator, because if you decide to create a product like a report, a training video, software or something directly related to your audience, you may simply be able to figure out the price tag you can easily stamp to it.

7. How would they like to reach that content? Is it Video, mobile phone, Audio, Written, or Blogging? This is important to know. You may just think about it. Think on their limitations to read, hear, watch or use the computer. If they can do everything you can, just ask them what they would like to know about stuff. Do they like to read? Do they like to watch videos? Do they like to hear audio? Do they like to use YouTube?

8. Where are they from? Maybe you have an audience that comes from other cities or even countries. You need to target every one and adapt your information to all of them at the same time.

9. What are your competitors offering to your audience? In the marketing world, it is very important to study the competition that targets your exact audience. What do they generally offer? What things do they offer that you don’t? Do they have more clients? Do they work additional hours? Do they cover a lot more needs than you?

10. Can you offer a better service/product than your competitors?

Once your know everything about your successful competitors, you can just offer the same thing but with your personal touch plus a lot more great things that they are not offering. You can have special offers, free samples, free phone consultation, special discounts, etc.

These questions are very important in deciding how to establish your business over YouTube. You can position almost any kind of business over YouTube because YouTube is more than just a website; it is a large audience of people with real human needs who are waiting for you and your service to satisfy them.

‘Enterprising Women’s Business Group’ Host Diane Shawe Offers A CPD Lifeline To Professional Women Working In The Legal Sector

Join us in May for a productive event

London UK, Thursday 12th May 2014 – An innovative UK based business women has successfully achieved CPD training provider status and recognition through the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA)

Diane Shawe, host of the KCW Enterprising Women’s Business Club will now be offering a comprehensive range of recognised CPD soft skills courses aimed at supporting female legal professionals in a bid to help them establish, develop and grow despite to compete with some of the difficulties and challenges law firms are now facing.

As a traditionally male orientated arena, the legal industry now attracts as many talented female professionals as it does male counterparts, however workplaces are still unfairly weighted towards male work-life balances and working models.

As a result, it’s accepted that female legal professionals often face gender related difficulties in terms of promotion and development (Diversity in the Legal Profession in England and Wales: A Qualitative Study of Barriers and Individual Choices 2013).

The wide range of CPD courses now available have been specifically tailored to support and nurture women looking to achieve and fulfil their potential in the legal industry either as a partner, employee or independent practice.

The ‘Enterprising Women Business Club‘ has over 45,000 members nationally and has a remit to help women achieve the success they want by empowering, connecting, training, inspiring and supporting. The next Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster business club meeting is set for the 15th May.

Check out Merchant Cash Advance Services for small businesses

365 business financeMerchant Cash Advances, also known as Business Cash Advances, are a quick and easy way to convert your future credit and debit card sales into immediate cash to spend on any of your business’ requirements. They are a simple alternative to unsecured bank loans and overdrafts.

At 365 Business Finance, they’ve helped businesses across many sectors get the finance they need. they’ve provided cash advances to cycle shops, convenience stores, butchers, greengrocers,  pet care stores, garden centres, sports shops,  off-licenses, shoe repairs, cash and carry, and just about any other business that accepts credit and debit cards.

As a business owner, are you considering expanding  your store or making costly refurbishments?  Are your suppliers  unwilling to provide you with the credit line that you previously received? Or maybe  you need to purchase stock ahead of a busy sales period? Perhaps you’d like to launch a new website or run an advertising campaign? Whatever the reason,  you need cash now, but you’re not sure how to proceed. You’ve thought about a small business loan, but some banks have imposed tighter restrictions, some require security and detailed business plans,  and even if you do qualify, you may have to wait for months to get the funds.

With our Cash Advances,  you can avoid some of the hassles of a traditional business loan by utilising your future credit and debit card sales to secure thousands of pounds of ongoing finance for your business. Our unique repayment plan takes a percentage of your daily card sales (typically between 5% and 20%) until the advance is paid off. A traditional loan requires fixed monthly payments irrespective of how your business is performing, but our financing process is designed to match your business’s performance, so during quieter periods, you pay back less. The process happens automatically so there isn’t an extra bill to keep track of each month. Our application process is fast and simple, and you can have your money in days.

business-other

Here are a few examples of how our cash advances can be utilised:

  • Expansions;
  • Refurbishments;
  • Equipment purchases;
  • Bulk stock purchases;
  • Marketing and advertising;
  • Website development;
  • Recruiting staff;
  • General working capital needs

3 Steps to Growing Your Business

Step two

2. Get your cash in days

You’ll receive the lump sum directly into your bank account to use on any business requirement.

Step three

3. Watch your business grow

You repay a small  percentage of your card sales. Repayments are  automatically processed and hassle-free.
