unaware that a mysterious flasher is stalking the local community.

EVENTS FOR BUSINESS AND SCHOOLS The Art of Being Brilliant 22nd February 2018 Matinee Performance at 9:00 am - 12.00 pm Tickets from £25 Working in partnership: TDA Business and the Palace Theatre bring you The Art of Being Brilliant with Andy Cope The craziness We live in a manic society where most people’s lives are on permanent fast-forward. The modern workplace is typified by a never ending regime of restructures and budget cuts. Uncertainty prevails. Customer expectations are rising. Legislation is tightening. You are probably going to be audited or inspected one day soon. Outside of work there are family pressures. And society. Trump. Brexit. Oh, and don’t forget the weather! The antidote ‘The Art of Being Brilliant’ provides an antidote to the crazy world that typifies modern Britain. This workshop uses cutting edge research to explore how you can be you, brilliantly. The aim is to share some of the ‘secrets’ of Positive Psychology, focusing on learning new habits of thinking and behaviour that will sustain personal ‘brilliance’. It is about the ‘whole you’ and, as such, is applicable in and out of work. The content is taken from the latest research into positive psychology, wellbeing, flourishing and emotional contagion. Our team calls it ‘the science of the bleedin’ obvious’… yet if it’s so obvious, why are so few people doing it? The point? Too many people are counting down to the weekend, accidentally wishing their life away. ‘The Art of Being Brilliant’ is a big wake-up call. We figure there’s a huge difference between ‘being alive’ and ‘living’ – if you decide to go for it, your positivity ripples out into your workplace and family. The aim therefore is to challenge current habits and ways of thinking, to re-energise and enthuse staff for the challenges that lie ahead. In plain simple English, we want this to be the best training you have ever had. Whisper it quietly, but it might even change your life?
The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager – For schools!
22nd February 2018
Matinee Performance at 1:00 pm - 3.00 pm
Tickets JUST £5
The Palace Theatre bring you The Art of Being Brilliant with ANDY COPE –
especially for schools and for students to discover ‘The Art of Being a
Brilliant Teenager’.
SPECIAL SCHOOLS OFFER all tickets £5 and TEACHERS go FREE.
The chances are you’ve sussed the system. Let me guess: work reasonably hard
(but not too hard), turn up (most of the time) and hit those pesky homework
deadlines (sometimes).
In short, you will have learned to fit in. But long-term, you need to stand out.
So it’s time to step up. A good academic grounding is half the story. Learning
to shine is just as important.
The modern world is fast and exhausting. Look around, what do you see?
If you’re not careful, you can inhabit ZombieLand – a world in which too
many people are stuck in a loop of counting down to the weekend, accidentally
wishing their life away. ‘The Art of Being Brilliant’ is a big wake-up call. We figure
there’s a huge difference between ‘being alive’ and ‘living’ – if you decide to go for
it, your positivity ripples out into your friends, family and
future workplace. The aim therefore is to challenge current habits and ways
of thinking, to re-energise and enthuse you for the challenges that lie ahead.
Content
1. Introduction to positive psychology
2. How to be a modern-day superhero

5. Insight into the smallest thing you can do that will have the biggest

Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to hear from NIGEL RISNER. The only motivational speaker in Europe to have been awarded Speaker of the Year from The Academy For Chief Executives, Vistage, Footdown and The Executive Committee, Nigel is a respected author, television presenter and a prolific speaker. Nigel’s workshops and keynote speeches are results –oriented, challenging his listeners to expand their horizons, embrace the opportunities that await them and dare to dream of achievements which seemed impossible before. Are you and your team in the room? Are you and your team communicating the best way you can? Are you and your team producing the results you have always dreamt of? Would you like to have a more motivated team, honest communication and teamwork that is second to none? Nigel isn’t just a Motivational Speaker – he is a company turnaround specialist that will allow you to communicate like zoo keepers and inspire your team into action to have your best year ever. His main philosophy is that there is no such thing as difficult customers and staff – there are different customers and staff. This is the first of many business events and learning sessions we will be bringing you in association with the TDA. Having spoken to more than 1.5 million people worldwide (40 Countries) Nigel has recognised that most people fall into four categories in communication. Whilst there have been many other models used his method of zoo keeping different animals is now used not only in Police Forces around the Country but also many National Health Trusts. He is currently working on introducing four new animals to the Zoo. The programme will run as follows: 08.30 – 09.30 Tea/Coffee and breakfast rolls 09.30 – 10.30 WTF? What do you want? 10.30 – 11.00 Break 11.00 – 12.00 Creating the dream team and taking action. 12.00 – 13.00 How to become an effective zoo keepers. Networking, booking signing and photo session.

A warm
welcome on behalf of
The Friends of the Palace Theatre
It was at 7 o’clock on Friday 12th September 1890 when the crowds gathered for the
grand opening night of Paignton’s Public Hall. For over a century, The Paignton Public
Hall, now known as the Palace Theatre, has entertained many thousands of residents and
visitors. During the Second World War the building became the Garrison Theatre where
thousands of American Troops were entertained by stars which may well have included
Glen Miller, Anna Neagle and some say Bing Crosby!
The Palace Theatre, like so many in the country, has weathered various difficult times
through the years. In 2005, Torbay Council tasked the community to raise £80,000 as
a contribution towards refurbishing the theatre to include the reconstruction of the
auditorium. Through ‘The Friends of the Palace Theatre’, £100,000 was raised. With
the help of English Heritage, Torbay Council and many others, over £933,000 was spent
refurbishing the venue to bring it into the 21st century.
The Friends group continues to support the theatre by providing finance to improve the
fabric of the building and stage equipment including the re-carpeting of the foyer and stairs.
Many local groups and societies use this valuable building including: Paignton
Pantomime Productions, Wonder Productions, The Bijou Theatre Productions,
Doorstep Arts, The Torbay Folk Orchestra, The Robert Owen Foundation and South
West of England Festival.
On leaving the venue, you might see our members collecting at the
door. If you are able, please give generously to keep theatre alive in
Paignton. Thank you.
Join us at the theatre
every second Saturday of the month
10.30am - midday
for a COFFEE AND A CHAT
and every first Thursday in the month at 2pm for BINGO!
