''Hi Emma,
I often look at your blog and I have been an avid reader since you did Secret Millionaire. I have found your Top Tips really useful especially the ones about Marketing. I run a training company too. As such we are on a range ..Emma HarrisonView Complete Post Wednesday 1st July 2009, 15:54More Reading of Oscar WildeWow - what a response to my reading of Oscar Wilde blog - the best yet - i seem to have tapped into a very literary gang of people out there in the ether - fantastic. Thank you for all your book suggestions and your favourite quotes - very inspiring.
A4e is soon to launch its very own community website ( it is being piloted and tested at this moment). Eventually all staff, all customers will be on there - and anyone else around the world who wants to share information that relates to 'improving people's lives.' My vision? - The biggest community in the world..

So, i made the effort to find the books that my parents passed on to me. My mother loved the English Language - so i found her dictionarys, theasuarus, her phrase and fable books. My father loved to read the classics - and I found his complete works of Oscar Wilde. What a treat - i felt that i had found something really special - i am dipping in and out of ..

My regular readers will know that i have been a wee bit poorly ( much better now) - well... my lovely, talented, empathic, gifted consultant ( he reads this blog and has a sharp scalpel - hence the need for the over the top flattery!) - jet setted off to Sweden a few days ago - to extend his cutting, slicing, probing and poking knowledge. He no doubt felt the need to keep me under his control ( to prevent a further flight from the hospital appointments etc) - so he asked if i had Skype. No was my a..

Thought it was about time I let you know what I have been up to since my last post when I went on holiday.
Had a very nice week away in Wales and Devon and it has been all systems go since I returned. Obviously we had the amazing FND news which has meant everyone here at A4e is very busy which is never a bad thing as long as I still get fed and watered!
I moved into a new cottage in Sharrow Vale Road in Sheffield which is lovely as we are next to Endcliffe Park and the woods which is great for walks and wildlife. Also lots of nice little shops selling ca..

Emma Emma HarrisonView Complete Post Friday 29th May 2009, 21:30Flexible New Deal ResultsJust imagine - a large group of passionate, intelligent and dedicated people dream of a new way to deliver help to people who are unemployed. They work tirelessly for over a year - showcasing their plans - talking to thousands of people to get their views - influencing - costing - dreaming - planning - designing - never stopping in their belief that there is a better way.
They create their new 'baby' - they submitt it to the Uk Government for scrutiny, examination, challenge and marking!
They wait for months - they present their ideas again - they wa.. Emma HarrisonView Complete Post Friday 29th May 2009, 21:15missed me a little more?
Time to blog – I reckon – if you read my last blog – the one in which I tell all about my recent illness – and then I went on to tell you that I was on the road to recovery – well hasty me… On the road? – but some great big lumps in the road that tripped me a bit – Again!…
Oh well – when people ask me how I am – I no longer make declarations – that I am sorted – I just say – headed in the right direction. A nice metaphor for life – d.. Emma HarrisonView Complete PostWednesday 13th May 2009, 15:34Off on my holidays (via Birmingham and Cardiff)Hi All,
Thought I would give you a quick update on what's been happening here since I last posted on the blog.
I have been travelling quite a lot (which means packing up my portable dog feeder and water bottle) as there have been a lot of success stories and people to meet, really inspiring individuals who have overcome obstacles and adversity.
We met Anna Rayner last week a woman who has set up her own holistic business with reiki and massage after working with Pathways in Leeds to access courses and experience. She has just won Female Entrepeneur of the Year t.. A4e MarketingView Complete Post Wednesday 13th May 2009, 12:27My A4e - Bobbi Gracie
Dear Ms Harrison,
I have been a client of A4E (Plymouth) for the past 18 months. My consultants were Martyn Blight and Mike Jones. They have been extremly helpful through my time at A4E working so hard finding me the right job to suit my needs as I am a single mother with commitments.
They have since found me a job I love doing and I couldn't be happier in my employment.
My company has just opened our new establishment and I am writing to you to invite you to the launch. It is on the 5th May at 1400pm at Riverfor.. MyA4eView Complete Post Wednesday 6th May 2009, 17:07missed me?
Missed me?
Well here is a tale to tell… and some things I have learnt (after the event)
Five weeks or so ago – I had an operation to sort out some big old scars on my tummy – ‘acquired’ when I was a very poorly little girl.
One night in high dependency unit, one night on a normal ward and I went home with two drains plumbed into my tummy.
Saturday 2nd May 2009, 00:08A land of possibilitiesEveryday at A4e we are trying to find new ways of Improving Peoples Lives. Everyday we look at different models, different clients, different places where we can bring our energy and passion to help a person, a family or a community. Some of the heroes in A4e for me are the people who take our service and vision to a whole new place, Sally with young people, Jon and Andy with Financial Inclusion, Liton with Legal Services, Andrew and Kate with our services to people who have been on long term Incapacity Benefit and David working in Prisons. Taking the vi..Roy NeweyView Complete Post Friday 1st May 2009, 23:32I am sorryOver the last few weeks we have had feedback from some of our clients that our service has missed the mark. Some of our clients have felt we have not lived up to the Improving Peoples Lives values we set ourselves. Some of the feedback has been direct to our staff and the company but more disappointing is that some of our clients have felt unable to approach us directly about concerns they have regarding our service. To let customers down is bad enough but to have our clients feeling they could not approach us..Roy NeweyView Complete Post Thursday 23rd April 2009, 12:20New branding & working on A4e.TVHi All,
Work is ongoing within Marketing to spread the word about A4e.TV and entries are already being sent in. The next phase is to offer SMS messaging to people so we can get more entries from peoples mobile phones.

I have just got back from London with Luke after the Easter Bank Holiday following a busy week of planning a Pathways Event down in Brighton last Thursday 8th April.
The event was to promote a 'Healthier Way Into Work' idea A4e have devised looking to encorage Pathways clients who have struggled with ill health to give them a boost if they are looking to get back into suitable and sustainable employment.
The day was a great success with the Mayor even turning up to have a look at what is being done in the Brighton area to encourage people to seek help an.. A4e MarketingView Complete Post Thursday 16th April 2009, 12:26Red Nose Day PartyHi Everyone,

Maria and Bubbles emailed me yesterday and had a very good idea about using my Marketing blog to help other doggies in distress across the UK.
As you will know readers I was abandoned in South Wales and if it had not have been for the love of all the A4e Staff I dread to think what would have happened to me.
Maria has suggested making this blog a way to help raise funds for dog charities to ensure other young pups are getting the support and love they need.
With this in mind I am setting myself the tas.. A4e MarketingView Complete Post
