Nick Thomas & Associates

Ollie Martin and @Nick Thomas recently sat down with @Lucinda Carney 🌞as guests on her fantastic #hr uprising podcast. We talked all things #performance and #health at home and in the workplace, and how #hrprofessionals can support their employees. If you haven't got time to listen to the whole thing right now, here are a few highlights from the early part of the pod: 1minute 54: Nick and Ollie's background and expertise. Nick's experience of and recovery from a chronic health condition 5.56: 'Uncommon sense' - how common sense isn't very common and isn't working 8.12: The power of movement snacks and how intense exercise doesn't offset the negative effects of a largely sedentary life. The importance of measures to improve the health of the least healthy employees, not the most healthy 12.44: The huge burden of poor health on the UK economy and business performance 15.07: Covid lockdowns and remote working - a tipping point for corporate awareness 15.50: The 'balance of stressors'. Chronic stress v acute stress. The evolutionary perspective If you are interested in how we can support your employee health and corporate performance, contact Nick Thomas now... https://lnkd.in/ey7dmrSe

Always lovely when our delegates drop us a line to express their thanks. This note was from Georgia Grant Crichton. ‘I joined the CII webinars this week and last week for Learning and exam techniques with Chris Abram ACII I advised I had my IF1 Exam today (Friday 13th December) and I was just wondering if you could pass on the message to Chris that I passed my exam today and I greatly appreciated his webinars with exam revision techniques’ Georgia - well done! The hard work was all yours! Good luck for the future and thanks for taking the time to let us know how you got on 😎 #examsuccess Up to the minute training solutions addressing the challenges of the modern insurance professional

New session! 'Identifying and supporting vulnerable customers' Currently, 16% of customers feel their needs aren’t being met, according to Financial Conduct Authority data. And adults with one or more characteristics of vulnerability are more likely to report that customer support services don’t help them at all. Companies need to treat vulnerable customers as humans, not just account numbers. This webinar with customer service expert and award winning trainer Jacqueline Turner will guide you through how to identify your vulnerable customers and best practices to support their specific needs Available in #webinar and extended workshop format #vulnerablecustomers #insurancetraining Contact Nick Thomas to book or for more information https://lnkd.in/eci3qjvH 'Up to the minute training solutions addressing the challenges of the modern insurance professional'

Another varied week. I was near St Paul’s on Monday to deliver sales workshops to around 80 delegates at a ‘sellers day’. Great feedback from the session and requests for additional work - always a good sign! ‘I found your sessions to be invaluable’ ‘I thought both of the sessions were excellent’ ‘I just wanted to say a huge Thankyou for Monday’s session - it was brilliant…’ Wednesday saw me back in the City to deliver Workshop V of an ongoing programme with a major Insurer client. We looked at Objection handling - and more importantly objection prevention - as well as pipeline management. Apart from that, some webinars, some new and existing client meetings and some content preparation for the next few weeks. Lots of exciting stuff on the horizon! #happyweekend #insurancetraining #salestraining Up to the minute solutions addressing the challenges of the modern insurance professional

We have designed a specific men's health session in response to client demand. If you would like more details, or would like to book in a webinar/seminar, please contact Nick Thomas

Nick Thomas day three of a week in the life…

It has been great to welcome a couple of new Associates in recent months. One of these is Alan Tickner who brings a wealth of experience to the role over many years working in the industry. Alan now works as a consultant to a major construction firm and his work for Nick Thomas & Associates has initially focused on delivering our Introductory and Advanced sessions on #constructioninsurance as he builds his training experience. He is now spreading his wings and bringing his considerable expertise to bear in other areas. This week Alan delivered a great session on #ProfessionalIndemnity #PI insurance to #birminghaminsuranceinstitute Helen Holyoake that was again very well received by attendees. Some people even seemed to enjoy his jokes! Great to welcome Alan aboard!
