Much of this is common sense\, and yet it’s common to find mismatches between our personal values and the work we do. \nAfter realising there was such a mismatch in his own business\, Jon Gibbins has spent nearly 3 years integrating more sustainable and ethical practices into his small digital company. He continues to find more ways to improve his business based on a triple bottom line approach: people\, planet and profit. Pairing his training experience with his passion for addressing the climate emergency\, he now supports other small business owners to do the same. \nThis webinar will discuss the themes of sustainability\, ethical finance and green technology\, and include toolkit suggestions\, helpful advice and achievable changes you can start using today. \nAbout Jon Gibbins \n \n\n  \nJon  is a digital accessibility consultant who helps organisations make digital products more accessible to Disabled people. He’s known for his practical approach and deep technical understanding\, built on two decades of experience. \nConcerned about climate change\, our planet and its people\, he integrates ethical and sustainable practices into his work and supports other small business owners to do the same. \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE\n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://theicg.co.uk/event/your-small-business-meets-sustainability-3/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211014T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211014T120000 DTSTAMP:20260408T021019 CREATED:20211014T100000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211014T100000Z UID:30251-1634209200-1634212800@theicg.co.uk SUMMARY:This Too Shall Pass: Navigating Change with a Sense of Humour DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Qualzy (formerly Web Creator Suite)\, a platform which supports all your asynchronous project needs including diary tasks\, UX research\, video blogging\, international projects\, long term communities and much much more. \n \n  \nWe live in an ever-changing world and most of us fear change\, so how do we survive? \nWe are faced with Covid\, Brexit\, climate change and a re-emergence of ABBA (wait\, is that relevant?)\, and somehow\nwe try make sense of it all. \nIn this session  Greg Arthur\, Transformation Coach\, Lifeology\, provides you with practical tips and guides that will not only help your business navigate change\, but\, more importantly\, it will give you tools to be more change resilient. \n \nAbout Greg \n \nGreg started adult life out of integrity with himself and in a career he had no interest in\, and so has seen the value in striving for authenticity in all that we are and do. \nThis quest to guide people towards their truth\, whatever it may be\, has led him to be a coach\, mentor and change agent. He works in companies and with individuals to help improve self-esteem and productivity and to neutralise\nstigma\, both internally and externally\, as well as navigating them through change. \nHis path has been varied\, providing him with business and project management experience\, as well many years in Corporate Social Responsibility\, where he discovered the joy and skill involved in marrying the needs of communities and projects with corporate donors. \nHe has learnt that compassion and empathy are key to understanding the stories and needs of those you wish to assist. He now offers his  time to peer mentor people living with HIV. \nOriginally from South Africa\, he is now based in London and runs his own business\, Lifeology\, with his best friend.\nHe is a keen runner and swimmer (these help him to clear his mind)\, a casual yogi and love a good book. You will also catch him often out of London as he feeds his curiosity about culture and the world through travel. \n  \n  \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE – OPEN TO ICG MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS\n  \nJoining link for webinar is https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/145863309 URL:https://theicg.co.uk/event/this-too-shall-pass-navigating-change-with-a-sense-of-humour-3/ LOCATION:Online ORGANIZER;CN="Sally Alsop":MAILTO:webinars@theicg.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211020T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211020T133000 DTSTAMP:20260408T021019 CREATED:20211020T120000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211020T120000Z UID:30249-1634734800-1634736600@theicg.co.uk SUMMARY:Lunch&Learn with Field Notes DESCRIPTION:We welcome Field Notes (also ICG members) for our next Lunch&Learn\, a half-hour lunchtime slot where members can informally hear about how organisations can help them in their work. \nAll Lunch&Learn presenters offer ICG members a significant and exclusive discount.
