Session 1: Mindset – Permission & Self-Care: Wednesday 30th April - 12pm to 1pm
 	
Session 2: Plans – Visibility & Delegation: Wednesday 7th May -12pm to 1pm
 	
Session 3: Systems – Practical Strategies for the Home: Wednesday 14th May - 12pm to 1pm

Overview
The FRAZZLE 3-Part Life-Work Balance Series is designed to help professionals to achieve a better Life-Work Balance by creating self-care habits, building plans around the mental load and implementing systems to manage home and family life.

Using the How to Run Your Home Like a Business framework, this series provides actionable tools to reduce stress, improve time management, and create a structured approach to balancing work and home responsibilities.

Each session focuses on one of three key pillars:

 	
Session 1-Mindset: Learn to give yourself permission to prioritise self-care without guilt to manage stress and improve performance at home and at work.
 	
Session 2-Plans: Gain visibility on your mental load to create delegation strategies.
 	
Session 3-Systems: Implement practical frameworks to manage cooking, cleaning, and family events.

Led by Aoife Hughes, corporate speaker, trainer, and founder of FRAZZLE, this series will provide you tangible strategies you can apply immediately.
Course Objectives
By attending this series, you will learn how to:

Session 1 – Mindset

 	
Prioritise your self-care to manage your physical, emotional and social health.
 	
Identify macro habits to break and micro-habits to build to manage stress.
 	
Manage your time and calendar with the ‘Time Boxing’ methodology.

Session 2 – Plans

 	
Gain visibility on the mental load and learn how to delegate effectively.
 	
Identify your values to create a decision making framework.
 	
Develop goal-setting techniques that align with your values to create a vision board.

Session 3 – Systems

 	
Leverage tools to create practical systems to organise your home and family life.
 	
Find out how to create more space in your home with de-cluttering techniques.
 	
Learn how to streamline cooking, cleaning, and family event planning.

Why should I attend? 
If you feel stretched too thin with the juggle of work, home, and family life, this series will help you take back control with a structured approach.

 	
Session 1: Build the right mindset to prioritise self-care without guilt.
 	
Session 2: Learn how to create realistic plans and delegate responsibilities.

This workshop is for managing directors, founders, and SME owners who want their website to do what it should: help their business grow.

Whether you already have a website, are considering a redesign, or don’t have one just yet, this workshop will give you all the practical insights you need into how websites (actually) generate the results that you are looking for.

If you run a service based business, e-commerce store, or manage a corporate/nonprofit organisation, your website should be doing the following;

 	
Generating leads
 	
Driving sales & orders
 	
Building trust with your audience
 	
Boosting your brand image

If your current website is not doing any of the above well then you might have a problem…
Learning Outcomes
In this 1 hour jargon free strategy-focused session, you’ll learn:

 	
Why most small business websites chronically under-perform
 	
The biggest mistakes SMEs make in website design and structure
 	
What high-converting, growth-ready websites *actually* do differently
 	
How small improvements can create big wins - quickly
 	
Examples of good vs. bad site experiences, and what you can learn from them
 	
Why improving your website boosts the performance of all your marketing (& business) efforts — SEO, ads, referrals, and more
 	
How to effortlessly pinpoint exactly what you need to fix on your website to boost your business
 	
Q & A where we answer your specific questions & give you tailored advice

You’ll leave with actionable strategies you can apply straight away to your current website OR have a great foundation for building a website that actually drives growth for your business.
Why should I attend
If you’re a business owner, founder, or managing director, your website is one of your most valuable assets  but only if it’s working properly. Unfortunately, most small business websites are poorly optimised, costing you potential leads, sales, and credibility without you even realizing it.

In this session, you’ll learn how to identify and fix the most common website mistakes, discover proven strategies to turn your website into a lead-generating machine, and get actionable advice you can apply immediately.

Whether you’re running a service-based business, an e-commerce store, or a corporate site, this workshop will equip you with the insights you need to turn your website into a powerful growth tool. Don’t miss this chance to learn how small improvements can lead to big wins.

Overview
Communicators get ideas across with enthusiasm and poise.

Online or in-person, a presentation is one of the most important tools you have in business for getting things done.

With so much riding on your presentation ability, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to sharpen it to perfection.

Overview
Communicators get ideas across with enthusiasm and poise.

Online or in-person, a presentation is one of the most important tools you have in business for getting things done. Whether you’re persuading colleagues, selling a client, energising a team or showing an idea to senior management, the power of your presentation makes the difference between success and failure.

With so much riding on your presentation ability, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to sharpen it to perfection.

The experience in this programme is as close as you can get to having a personal coach.

You begin presenting from almost the moment you begin session 1. You present at least six times over the course of 3 full half-days. Your presentations are recorded and evaluated. You get expert, one-on-one coaching privately at the end of each presentation.

The class is small. The environment is supportive. The work is intense. The results are outstanding.

Overview
Power BI is a business analytics service developed by Microsoft. It provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end users to create their own reports and dashboards. Power BI allows users to connect to a wide variety of data sources, both on-premises and in the cloud, and then transform and model the data for analysis.
Key features of Power BI include:

 	
Data Connectivity: Power BI can connect to a wide range of data sources, including Excel spreadsheets, databases, cloud-based and on-premises data sources, and many others.
 	
Data Transformation and Modelling: Users can shape and transform data using Power BI's Power Query Editor. This allows for cleaning and formatting data to make it suitable for analysis. The data modelling capabilities enable the creation of relationships between different data tables.
 	
Data Visualization: Power BI offers a variety of visualization options, including charts, graphs, maps, and tables. Users can create interactive and engaging reports and dashboards to represent data in a meaningful way.
 	
Dashboard and Report Creation: Power BI allows users to create interactive dashboards and reports by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas. These dashboards can then be shared with others.
 	
Natural Language Queries: Users can ask questions about their data using natural language queries, and Power BI will generate visualizations based on the data.
 	
Power BI Service: The Power BI service enables users to share and collaborate on reports and dashboards in the cloud. It also provides features for scheduling data refreshes, managing security, and more.

Iteration 1

 	
Module 1: Wednesday 1st October - 2:30pm - 4pm - Online
 	
Module 2: Thursday 2nd October - 2:30pm - 4pm - Online

Overview
This program has been designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and competencies to effectively use Outlook as your organisational tool.
The “Practical Productivity” training course will provide participants with a totally practical and workable solution to managing their workload and time more effectively.
This is not a standard Time Management training course. Although we cover ‘Time Management Best Practice’ at the beginning, unless there is a practical way of actually applying that theory, it is just that - ‘Theory’. Therefore, the emphasis of the day is on the practical application of that theory using Microsoft Outlook as the tool.

Do not let e-mail control your day – instead, you can take control through the customisation of MS Outlook and by using various features & tools within Outlook. Learn how to prioritise, set, manage, and achieve realistic goals & tasks you set for yourself. Learn how to share information with other users and work more effectively as a group.

This course is suitable for users of MS Outlook (Classic).

Overview
This Practical Productivity training course will provide you with a totally practical and workable solution to managing your workload and time more effectively.

This is not a standard Time Management training course.  Although we cover ‘Time Management Best Practice’ at the beginning of the day, unless there is a practical way of actually applying that theory, it is just that - ‘Theory’.  Therefore, the emphasis of the day is on the practical application of that theory using Microsoft Outlook as the tool.

Do not let e-mail control your day – instead, you can take control through the customisation of MS Outlook and by using various features & tools within Outlook.

Learn how to prioritise, set, manage and achieve realistic goals & tasks you set for yourself. Learn how to share information with other users and work more effectively as a group.

 	
All participants will be provided with an E-Bridge email address and phone number for any queries or questions that may arise following the training.
 	
All participants will be given access to a library of tutorials by way of an email containing the links to the relevant topics. As we record these tutorials ourselves the content/examples used will match those used during the classroom training. As a result, the participants will find them to be relevant and easy to follow. The tutorials will be available to participants for a limited time period (6 months following the course).
 	
A Cork Chamber Skillnet / E-Bridge Certificate of Attendance will be awarded to each participant on completion of all courses. A sample copy is attached for your approval.
 	
This course is also a CPD accredited course accounting for 6 hours of approved CPD credit.

Overview
Conflict in the workplace is not only inevitable—it’s necessary for growth and innovation. But without the right tools, it can lead to tension, misunderstandings, and fractured relationships.

Choose a conflict navigation approach suited to the moment and relationship
 	
Recognize signs of emotional disconnection and respond with curiosity and clarity

Overview
Power BI is a business analytics service developed by Microsoft. It provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end users to create their own reports and dashboards. Power BI allows users to connect to a wide variety of data sources, both on-premises and in the cloud, and then transform and model the data for analysis, reporting and decision-making.
Key features of Power BI include:

 	
Data Connectivity: Power BI can connect to a wide range of data sources, including Excel spreadsheets, databases, cloud-based and on-premises data sources, and many others.
 	
Data Transformation and Modelling: Users can shape and transform data using Power BI's Power Query Editor. This allows for cleaning and formatting data to make it suitable for analysis. The data modelling capabilities enable the creation of relationships between different data tables.
 	
Data Visualization: Power BI offers a variety of visualization options, including charts, graphs, maps, and tables. Users can create interactive and engaging reports and dashboards to represent data in a meaningful way.
 	
Dashboard and Report Creation: Power BI allows users to create interactive dashboards and reports by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas. These dashboards can then be shared with others.
 	
Natural Language Queries: Users can ask questions about their data using natural language queries, and Power BI will generate visualizations based on the data.
 	
Power BI Service: The Power BI service enables users to share and collaborate on reports and dashboards in the cloud. It also provides features for scheduling data refreshes, managing security, and more.

This course is designed to follow-on from MS Excel Level Two (Intermediate).  Having already familiarised yourself with the most efficient way of performing everyday tasks and now that you have mastered the more commonly used Intermediate topics, it is now time to build on that knowledge.  A large proportion of the course is dedicated to managing and manipulating lists of information from working with tables & slicers up to creating and working with Pivot Tables.
 	
Useful functions such as IF and VLOOKUP are covered in addition to automating tasks using Macros etc.  It is highly recommended that you first attend the Excel Level Two (Intermediate) course before attending this advanced course if you are not already fully familiar with the Intermediate topics.
 	
All participants will be given access recordings of the webinars by way of an email along with copies of files used and User Reference Material. These will be available to participants for 6 months following the course.
 	
A Cork Chamber Skillnet / E-Bridge Certificate of Attendance will be awarded to each participant on completion of all courses. A sample copy is attached for your approval.

Entry Requirements
Ideally, those attending should have already attended the Excel Intermediate course or have an equivalent skill level.  If you have a very basic knowledge of Excel, it is recommended that you attend the Excel Intermediate course in advance.
This course can also be run as an in-company programme delivered on-site to meet your specific requirements. For more information on in-company delivery, or if you have any questions regarding this course, please Click Here.

Who Should Attend?

 	
This course is designed to follow-on from MS Excel Level Two (Intermediate).  Having already familiarised yourself with the most efficient way of performing everyday tasks and now that you have mastered the more commonly used Intermediate topics, it is now time to build on that knowledge.  A large proportion of the course is dedicated to managing and manipulating lists of information from working with tables & slicers up to creating and working with Pivot Tables.
 	
Useful functions such as IF and VLOOKUP are covered in addition to automating tasks using Macros etc.  It is highly recommended that you first attend the Excel Level Two (Intermediate) course before attending this advanced course if you are not already fully familiar with the Intermediate topics.
 	
All participants will be given access recordings of the webinars by way of an email along with copies of files used and User Reference Material. These will be available to participants for 6 months following the course.
 	
A Cork Chamber Skillnet / E-Bridge Certificate of Attendance will be awarded to each participant on completion of all courses. A sample copy is attached for your approval.

Entry Requirements
Ideally, those attending should have already attended the Excel Intermediate course or have an equivalent skill level.  If you have a very basic knowledge of Excel, it is recommended that you attend the Excel Intermediate course in advance.
This course can also be run as an in-company programme delivered on-site to meet your specific requirements. For more information on in-company delivery, or if you have any questions regarding this course, please Click Here.
