Original message:

I am interested in meeting up with trainers/Learning and Development Managers who, like me wish to improve their skills.

My thoughts are to informally; maybe once every 6-8 weeks meet to discuss L&D good practice, current challenges, issues or views. This would be an informal learning group and perhaps we can grab a drink and/or a meal as this will probably be one evening after work? I currently work in Stanmore, North London and live in St Neots, Cambridgeshire - so a group at one of these locations would be ideal.

If you are, like me, looking to share knowledge and expertise and learn from the experience - contact me now. I am happy to organise the venue and timings and keep contact details private until we agree how to proceed at the first meeting. I envisage a group of 4 - 6 people to make this workable.

Setting up a forum (Cambridge?)

Having relocated my work to Cambridge I would be interested in hearing from any trainers/facilitators or Organisational Development professionals that would want to meet up face-to-face. Cambridge would be an ideal location.

The CMI is concerned that too few managers are taking a break this year, and won’t get the chance to recharge their batteries. What situation are you in? Are you holidaying this year?

The CMI has a range of resources to help support managers so they can take a breather, like the delegation checklist on TrainingZone.
