Christina: Woman on a Mission - Creating your future memories...with excitement and anticipation
June 2006
St Pauls
Respect

Fundamental to NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) are beliefs and values. This is why I frequently coach around role models, especially those from your early years. Respect!!!!

My newsletter presents you with inspiring outstanding women; some of whom may even be outrageous. They are there to show you, remind you, that you too, have the capacity to be amazing. Below are some I found earlier...

I also firmly believe that if you choose the right role models, and display them somewhere in your workspace, they act as anchors and inspiration. Ask my clients! I’m thinking of my guys here; the same thing works for them and they have some fascinating role models. But I’m here to highlight the women, to bring out of the shadows the overshadowed women, so Andrew: Eve Arnold; Martha Geldhorn; Lee Millar or Jane Brown? Please send me favourite models or unusual women, its all grist to the mill!

So the city duly conquered; (I had a sense of turn again Whittington!) so that’s how Businesslink run a networking session: very full, very busy and good food; met some fascinating people, as ever. The Painters Hall was fascinating and was shown round by the beadle who had some interesting tales to tell. I’m fascinated by city guild halls and like to explore them through the City of London Festival (CoLF) in the summer.

Woolly Monkeys!
Angela shows us how...
Woolly Monkeys

Angela is a PhD student who studies and lives with Woolly monkeys in the wilds. The project is about respect, not just for the monkeys, encouraging local tribal people to find other sources of food, but also about respect for the environment, the people and even the languages, some of which are on the point of extinction. Here she is with 2 woolly monkeys... An enthusiastic proponent of her project, Angela shows that role models don’t have to be older than us!

“At international level, I have been giving oral presentations about TWMP in academic and funding institutions and overall, people agreed that woolly monkeys are a key species for habitat conservation (A Maldonado pers. obs.). During a Primate Conservation Fundraising Campaign Launch Event at Oxford Brookes University, Jon Snow (BBC 4 News) refers to woolly monkeys as: “charismatic and beautiful, monkeys deserving our effort and dedication to preserve them in the wild””

The latest fashion accessory: a South American woolly monkey T shirt available from: amaldonado@brookes.ac.uk

Ladies Who Lunch
The Womens Company
Charlotte

Next I’m taking my O3 women to the other end of the country: Purley lunch, hosted by Charlotte of SEA photography; pictured with camera. Yes it’s the outrageous women again; but not always the same ones and another recent talk, Crystal Palace Towns Womens Guild, I picked up some new ones, including Lily Langtry. What is it about the good time girls that attract me and the ladies who lunch?! See July 20th Purley lunch at the Womens Company, link below.

Cicely Saunders
Patron Saint...
Cicely Saunders

Somehow Dame Cicely Saunders became the patron saint of Christrainers. It must have been “The Lark Ascending” solo violin at her memorial in Westminster Abbey, shows that she, like me, soars in the stratosphere. Maybe it’s the calm joyous light atmosphere of St Christopher’s itself, a welcoming place to be; a place where people “live until they die” maybe it’s the inspiring people who gathered around her and who continue in her spirit. Maybe it’s the fact that for her, respect is real respect for every person, dying, or refugee or patient, or patient’s family. I believe she even once told off Prince Philip for a lack of respect. Maybe above all it’s the spine of steel, the determination that got her from £500 from a Polish refugee dying of cancer, to a world wide movement, for education and training centre for palliative care.

This month the Lambeth Palace Garden party June 28th will raise money for St. Christopher’s Hospice
