KIND people live LONGER!
World Kindness Day was celebrated last Friday 13th November, as it is each year and although it is NOT currently a day affiliated with any religion or political movement, over 28 nations participate in this unofficial holiday and here at Team FIT, we believe it should be an EVERYDAY occurrence! KINDNESS is a human condition […]
Navigate your way through Lockdown 2.0
So here we are again – lockdown round 2 ☹ Just when we were starting to adjust to a new normal World of Work (WOW!) having picked ourselves up and dusted ourselves down, we’re now having to dig deep for yet more RESOLVE; yet more RESILIENCE; yet more RESISTANCE – to giving in and joining […]
Are you appropriately dressed?
I loved English at school – and I did very well in my O Levels (as they were called back then) in both English Language and English Literature. Perhaps that’s why, when I studied for my NLP Practitioner and then my NLP Masters, my favourite module of both programmes was LANGUAGE. They say WORDS paint […]
Stop staring at the ceiling!
So last week saw our little (and not so little) ones head back to school, for the first time since lockdown back in March – and it’s been a rather emotional, bumpy ride for some of them (and us) hasn’t it? Still, children and chadults (the in-betweeners) are far more resilient than we often give […]
Q&A 60 second ice breaker
We’ve had a ball this last week with our lovely VIP client – and we’re all set to have another one this week, when we continue with the re-launch of a culture change programme we began with them at the start of this year and alas, a global pandemic put paid to our progress for […]
Working remotely during the Covid Pandemic – 6 Golden Rules to follow
This week I’m going to be short and sweet (aren’t I always ).

So hopefully this week’s FIT Matters will help rebalance […]
Colour Me Beautiful

FIT Comes of Age on Valentines Day
We’re feeling incredibly emotional this morning, in more ways than one, although all of these emotions are happy and positive ones because….. 18 years ago on 14th Feb 2001, we launched our beautiful little company, First Impression Training Ltd and today, after a journey of relentless hard-slog, sweat and (many) tears, we have finally come […]
Warning – Training Doesn’t Work!
If I had a pound for every time I have heard someone who has never worked with FIT say that training doesn’t work, I’d be a very rich woman! You see, it seems that for years, training has been approached by many as a ‘fix all solution’ from skills gaps to performance issues. So, if […]
