Book edited by coach reaches Amazon bestseller lists

A health and inclusion coach is one of the three editors of a book which has reached the Amazon bestseller lists.

Jackie Arnold, who lives near Blandford Forum, said the book – Empowerment in Health and Wellness – was highly relevant to present times.

Available in paperback and Kindl, it offers approaches from professionals working with the mind-body connection to reduce stress and anxiety, build motivation and enable individuals to understand and respond to their needs.

The book details the impact of the three pillars of health and wellness: awareness, information and learning.

It provides a framework to deepen professional knowledge, skills and confidence to support others in times of uncertainty and crisis.

The methods and content outline the experiences that continually come from supporting cancer patients, carers and their families at the Fountain Centre, a UK charity working with the National Health Service.

Jackie Arnold worked for more than 30 years in organisations around the globe supporting senior leaders.

She joined the Cancer Fountain Centre, part of Surrey Hospital NHS Trust, in 2017 as a volunteer support coach and supervisor.

In 2020 the team of coaches, supporting all those impacted by cancer, came together to create a service and write the book.

It is aimed at health and care professionals, HR and leaders in organisations who are supporting both cancer and Covid-19 patients who need support in times of uncertainty and change.

The book can be ordered from Amazon here.

MP and trade experts encourage businesses to access export support

Christchurch MP Sir Christopher Chope, pictured left, is to host a virtual 60-minute event aimed at helping businesses access the support needed to boost their exporting potential.

Thirteen MPs in the South West are partnering with the Department for International Trade (DIT) in the Parliamentary Export Programme.

They’re leading a drive to bring government support to more local firms to help them take advantage of export opportunities and to tap into demand for British products from overseas.

The event hosted by Sir Christopher is on Friday March 5 from 12 to 1pm.

Paul Shand, pictured right, Head of Trade for DIT in the South West said: “These events are a great opportunity for businesses to receive expert guidance on expanding their business internationally from Export Champions including Robert Welch Designs, Tudor Rose International and Stewart Golf, while taking advantage of the new Free Trade Agreements across the world.

“Trade is key for economic growth and DIT is helping businesses seize a world of opportunity.

“Whether a business is new to exporting, has exported in the past or is a current exporter seeking further guidance, participating in the programme will equip them with the support and tools they need to begin or continue their exporting journey.”
