TSCA Netwalking

Join TSCA for a 5 mile ‘walk whilst you talk’ in our first Netwalking event.

Netwalking - Northern Hopefully the late British Summer will be kind to us, as we enjoy the views from the Osmotherly/Swainby circular walk, whilst conserving enough energy to relax and network with fellow ICAEW members, and let’s not forget the option of a cold beverage after we finish the route.

Join TSCA members, friends and family for a social walk followed by some refreshments.

Walkers should wear/bring appropriate clothing (cool / warm / waterproof) it is British summertime so anything could happen.

We also intend, for those walkers who are interested, to have a drink together after the walk at the Black Horse, Swainby. If you would like to stay on for some food please book a table directly with the Black Horse itself on +44 (0) 1642 700 436 and indicate when you are booking that you are with the accountants walking group.

Registration is from 16:00 for the walk to start at 16:15.

CABA: Mindful Resilience

CCASS are pleased to work with CABA in Cumbria; this is the first of a series of courses to be held. The way you react to challenges and setbacks is a reflection of how resilient you are. Resilient people don’t dwell on the fact that things don’t always go quite as planned. They simply learn from their experiences and move forward.

Resilience sessions explore ways of boosting your self-confidence and coping more effectively with setbacks, both in and out of the workplace.

You’ll explore the tools you need to develop a resilient attitude and examine the differences between pressure (which can be positive and motivating) and stress (a natural reaction to too much pressure).

After completing this session you’ll be able to:

Recognise the difference between pressure and stress
Identify what causes you stress
Understand the foundations of resilience
Assess your personal level of resilience
Use a range of tools and techniques, including mindfulness strategies to increase your resilience
Design a plan to continue to build your resilience

The session will also be a brilliant opportunity to meet and socialise with other trainee accountants in the area. There will be teas and coffees prior to the session start and a hot buffet dinner provided for all those wishing to stay after the event. The event is free to all ACA students.
