How will we Embrace Equity in celebration of International Women's Day?
I want to make a difference - to help create a gender equal world. I want to spread the word and raise awareness about discrimination and take action to drive gender parity. But what exactly can I do?
Make February the month of self-love.
I absolutely know it’s the right thing to do – getting more natural daylight, not staring at a screen all day long, sitting at a desk for hours at a time…
Stop Blue Monday.
Today is the gloomiest day of the year apparently. Flip Blue Monday on its head and think about the positives of the day, the week and the new year….
Could artificial intelligence take over sooner than we think?

New Year, New You? Try this for a CHANGE
Asking colleagues to act as a mirror to reflect your strengths and areas for development can help form the basis of goals within a concrete action plan. Do you regularly approach people for feedback? Let’s explore, with the help of others, a way we can better understand how to develop ourselves.
Resilience is the order of the day
Calling all L&D professionals! We are offering a unique opportunity to come along to a free ‘Resilient You’ workshop. Tickets are free but limited to Talent Forum members only.
Refreshed and ready for business – Interaction. The people development people.

Have a look and make sure you let us know what you think!
The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse

Dispelling the myths — coaching isn’t just for the top cats and dogs in your organisation

It’s National Limerick Day
Whilst it might be a bit of fun, it can also be a creative and light-hearted way to say you care, value, and appreciate people.
Keeping the conversation going - International Women’s Day
A positive to emerge from the research was how there is an increased sense of community – of women supporting women, of solidarity, of allyship in general.
All the fun of an event with all the comforts of home
Interaction L&D launched its first completely virtual Talent Forum on Friday 20 November, and it was a huge success!
Coaching by numbers.
Due to the impact of lock-down, people are managing lots of new home working patterns so we know that being flexible to fit around people’s availability is a small way we can help. This is one way as an employee owned company, that we continue to put people first.
Work as we now know it...
We talk about organisational resilience a lot in our courses and we are now living proof that the culture we have created at Interaction lives those values, and we will be resilient and change for the better. I hope you are all able to stay resilient – we are here to keep the conversation going if you want to get in touch. (even with an added cat or two!).
