			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>PTP, a trusted name as a provider of business training courses in the UK, is conducting Senior Management Skills programmes throughout the country. The course is designed to aid delegates who wish to accelerate on their career path by helping them gain the skills that would be required. Continuous Professional Development (CPD) value of the course is 5.5 hours. Approved for CPD by the Law Society, it meets the national standards of professional education.</strong></p>
<p>It is an excellent course for working managers who wish to further their career. It suits professionals who wish to enhance their management skills and career opportunities. It also helps existing managers decide whether they want to progress into a bigger role. The day could also be of interest to aspirational managers, who want to understand what is required to create a personal career action plan.<span id="more-3410"></span></p>
<p>The programme includes a review of personal strengths, development areas and current behaviours. For growing as a manager, it is essential to cultivate the ability to develop and lead others with confidence. Trainers shed light as to how to encourage broader ownership of strategic tasks and objectives, and empower people to do the assigned tasks on themselves. The programme points out the differences between managers and leaders, and the ways to develop yourself as the latter.</p>
<p>The course provides an opportunity to assess current ability and identify personal behaviour, while operating in diverse situations. It gives tips on how to build productive relationships and create an environment that encourages ownership. It helps the delegates develop the ability to think differently and produce creativity, understanding the role of senior managers and progress as one.</p>
<p>The day long course commences with the introduction to course objectives. The next step is self evaluation, which includes a personal SWOT analysis to form the basis for a personal development plan. This is followed by a Building Relationships session suggesting how to create extraordinary relationships and work collaboratively to achieve results. The Empowerment and Ownership session focuses on enriching the roles of others by giving them the opportunity to play an active role rather than just following the seniors&#8217; direction. It is followed by sessions such as &#8216;Achieve More Through Others&#8217;, &#8216;Thinking Creatively&#8217;, &#8216;Power and Influence&#8217;, &#8216;Manager or Leader&#8217; and &#8216;Becoming A Leader&#8217;. The training concludes with a review of the day&#8217;s course and the creation of a personal action plan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Original source – <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=123877">WebWire</a> 24.09.2010)</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2918" title="Marathon02" src="http://www.icenews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Marathon02.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" />Norway’s answer to the New York marathon, the Fokus Bank Oslo Marathon 2010 is set to mark the 2500-year anniversary of the long-distance running event tomorrow. Fokus Bank Oslo Marathon organizers, The Vidar Sports Club, expects close to 16,000 people to participate during this weekend’s proceedings.</strong></p>
<p>This event, marking the fabled run of Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger who allegedly ran from the Battle of Marathon to Athens in 490 BC, will set its stamp on the Norwegian capital over these two days. The event’s starting and finishing lines are located at Akershus Castle in the city center, and if the forecasts for participation stand correct, this event will set a new record for a street race in Oslo; the previous record, set in 1994 at 14,192 runners.</p>
<p><span id="more-2915"></span></p>
<p>The Fokus Bank Oslo Marathon, Norway’s largest street marathon, first began in 1981. After the race attracted a record 14 000 runners in 1994 interest declined and consequently was not staged in 2002 or 2003. Due to this, its organization was then taken over by the Vidar Sports Club in 2004 and now, in its 28th series, is more popular than ever.</p>
<p>This year’s event is now run over the following distances: marathon (42,195 meters), half marathon (21,097 meters), 10 kilometers and three kilometers. The route for the full and half marathons follows the coast around the Oslo Fjord from Akershus Castle in the city center to Sjursoya in the east, back into the center, up the main Karl Johan street and back along the parallel Stortingsgaten, past Oslo City Hall, and west along Drammensveien to Sjolyst before returning to the finishing line at the castle.</p>
<p>“The goal is to create a top-class European marathon event which also serves as a popular festival in Oslo,” explains Nils-Jostein Helland, chair of Vidar Sports Club. “We have participants from all over Norway as well as from 71 countries worldwide. So this represents an excellent way to market Oslo as well.”</p>
<p>The Fokus Bank Oslo Marathon 2010 is organized by the Vidar Sports Club (<a href="http://www.skvidar.no">www.skvidar.no</a>) and is sponsored by Fokus Bank (<a href="http://www.fokus.no/nb-no/om-fokus-bank/InEnglish/Pages/in-english.aspx">http://www.fokus.no/nb-no/om-fokus-bank/InEnglish/Pages/in-english.aspx</a>), a branch of Danske Bank.</p>

<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2913" title="Fokus Bank Oslo Marathon, Norway 2010" src="http://www.icenews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/oslo-marathon-fokus55.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="127" />Vidar Sports Club, the organiser of <a href="http://www.fokus.no/nb-no/om-fokus-bank/InEnglish/Pages/in-english.aspx">Fokus Bank</a> Oslo Marathon, has received a record number of registration for this  weekend’s event.

If  the forecasts for participation hold good, this event will set a new  record for a street race in Oslo. The previous record is 14,192 runners  set in 1994.</strong></p>
<p>Fokus Bank Oslo Marathon, held on the last weekend in September  annually, is Norway’s largest street marathon. First staged in 1981, the  race attracted a record 14 000 runners in 1994, but interest in jogging  declined around 2000 and it was not staged in 2002-03. Due to this, in  2004 the organisation of the event was taken over by the Vidar Sports  Club and now in its 28th edition is going to be bigger than ever.<span id="more-2912"></span></p>
<p>Trond Mellingsaeter, chief executive of Fokus Bank, the strategic  partner for the Oslo event commented, “Exercise, well-being and an  active life help to ensure good health. That’s important for creating a  good working environment. We also see that a great many of our customers  are concerned with an active lifestyle. We see this in part through the  great attention being devoted by the Norwegian business press to active  lifestyles, sport and exercise.”</p>
<p>Fokus Bank is a branch of Danske Bank, which ranks as one of the  Nordic region’s leading financial groups with total assets of more than  DKK 3,000 billion. With its head office in Trondheim, Fokus Bank has 41  branches and a total of 1,300 employees. As a strategic partner for the  Oslo Marathon, Fokus Bank is working to continue developing the event in  collaboration with the Vidar Sports Club.</p>
<p>Mellingsaeter added, “We’ve opted at Fokus Bank to become the  strategic partner and sponsor of this event in order to help grow Fokus  Bank Oslo Marathon from today’s level to the vision of 50,000 runners.  The fact that people can participate in a mini-marathon, a half-marathon  and a full marathon also shows that we have a good family offer. That  corresponds with our strategy as a bank.”</p>

<p>Following the announcement during the Tour de France that SunGard had agreed to become co-title sponsor for the next two years, Bjarne Riis revealed at a press conference in Copenhagen today that Saxo Bank will be the other co-title sponsor in 2011. The Team will be called &#8220;Saxo Bank-SunGard Professional Cycling Team&#8221;.<span id="more-2676"></span> Bjarne Riis said:</p>
<p>&#8220;I am very happy to announce Saxo Bank and SunGard as future partners. With these two companies committed to the team, we have a solid financial foundation for the future. Saxo Bank and SunGard have ensured that the Team can continue its essential role within the world of cycling and will be able to maintain competing at the highest level. With Saxo Bank and SunGard as two strong backers, our future looks very bright. I am grateful for their commitment and I am confident that this will be mutually beneficial to all involved.&#8221;</p>
<p>Based on the prospects presented by the Team for 2011, Saxo Bank has taken a strategic decision to sponsor the Team for one more year. Saxo Bank has sponsored the Team since 2008 but took over as main title sponsor on 1 January 2009. According to the Bank, the sponsorship has already achieved great branding results and increased Saxo Bank&#8217;s name recognition around the world. Saxo Bank&#8217;s decision to continue the sponsorship for yet another year is based on a genuine wish to support the Team but also a commercial decision to further build on the advantages that Saxo Bank believes  is extended through this additional commitment to the Team. The new, unnamed sponsor, announced during the Tour de France, was willing to step aside in order for the Team&#8217;s new plans to materialize.</p>
<p>In a joint statement, Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen, Co-CEOs and co-founders of Saxo Bank, said:</p>
<p>&#8220;Bjarne Riis has delivered excellent results over the past couple of years and has an impressive plan for 2011.We believe it&#8217;s important to recognize an unprecedented opportunity when you see one and therefore, we have decided to continue our sponsorship for one more year. In Saxo Bank, we always aim for the top and we believe Bjarne Riis and his Team can reach that goal next year. While our past collaboration with Bjarne Riis has been fantastic, we also know and trust the new co-title sponsor, SunGard, and that has made this strategic decision an even easier one to make.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brian Robins, chief marketing officer of SunGard, said:</p>
<p>&#8220;We are pleased to extend our sponsorship of Riis Cycling in 2011 and join Saxo Bank as a co-title sponsor.  We share Saxo Bank&#8217;s enthusiasm for this project and we are looking forward to renewing our collaboration.  The Saxo Bank-SunGard Professional Cycling Team represents a fantastic opportunity to gain visibility for our brand in front of a global audience.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Bjarne Riis there will be significant changes to creating a stronger team. Both Bjarne Riis and the two co-title sponsors wish both new and outgoing riders every success in their decisions and careers ahead.</p>
