Liverpool Super Achievers
Awards
AS the increasingly popular
Super Achievers awards open for nominations this week to showcase the success of
those in Liverpool who strive to achieve, having a positive impact on their
colleagues, families and the local economy, this year Pitman Training has
announced the addition of 2 new categories to also recognise working dads and
inspiring employers from across the region.
With a recent survey from Pitman Training on British Modesty highlighting that
local workers rated above average on not wanting to brag about their
achievements, and only 37% of local re-spondents admitted to having left an
achievement out of their CV, Super Achievers judge Lucy Brazier encourages
Liverpool workers not to shy away from success:- "This is a great accolade
to add to your CV. I'd urge people to nominate themselves, as well as others and
rid the Brit-ishness of modesty to instead celebrate success."
Supported by award winning Dad blogger John
Adams of DadBlog UK, who regularly appears quoted in national media discussing
the role of dads in modern life, and works with brands such as IKEA and Audi,
the addition of Working Dad of the Year sees Pitman recognise that dads also
have challenges balancing careers and home life, with many playing an increasing
role in child care support.
The addition of Employer of the Year comes after many previous SuperAchiever
winners credited the company culture and support of their bosses for what they
had achieved, so this year Pitman hopes employees will also nominate their
employers who inspire them, so they can showcase those who are shining examples
of supportive environments enabling staff to grow.
Dominic Charters, Manager of Pitman Training Liverpool said:- "We see so
many examples of our students working tirelessly, often juggling family life to
achieve their professional goals, to contribute to the local economy. Many
overcome high levels of adversity and often lives are transformed; we are
constantly inspired by them. These awards are our chance to widen the
recognition beyond our students, and celebrate anyone in Liverpool who has
committed to achieving professional goals, whilst also celebrating employers
that make success possible".
This years' judging panel is made up of:-
Claire Barratt, entrepreneur, author, mother of 5 & founder of caricature brand ClaireaBella, a celebrity favourite brand which she created from her kitchen
table whilst juggling her day job of being a special constable and detention
officer; Lucy Brazier, International Speaker and Director of Marcham Publishing,
a training and development magazine for Executive Assistants; John Adams, Author
of:- 'Dad blog UK'; Diane Rose, Director of CPD Assessment and Membership
at The Professional Development Consortium, and last year's reining:- 'PA of
the Year' Jennifer Corcoran, who's since set up a new business after winning
her award.
The team is on the hunt for the following from Liverpool:-
► Working Mum of the Year
► Working Dad of the Year
► Inspirational Achiever of the Year
► PA of the Year
► Boss of the Year
► Entrepreneur of the Year
► Student of the Year (Nominated solely by Pitman Training Centres)
Nominations are now open and entries can be submitted for free
online. Once entries
have been submitted a shortlist is created, then the Liverpool public have the
opportunity to vote, alongside the judging panel on who they feel should be the
winners.
All winners will receive a prestigious Super Achievers Award; a cash prize of
₤500 to help them on their way to achieving their goals and a distance learning
training course (courtesy of Pitman Training Group) and additional prizes
include Jennifer offering a 1hr personal impact review:- 'Brand YOU,'
which will review the LinkedIn profile and personal branding of PA of the Year
winner and 121 Mentor call for Working Mum of the Year from Claire Barratt
along with her creating a ClaireaBella character for them.
Centre Manager at the Liverpool Pitman
Training, Dominic Charters said:- "We're really excited to have the
opportunity to fly the flag for Liverpool, highlighting just how much our region
aspires to achieve career success. It's a great opportunity to really showcase
what can be done through hard work and perseverance. This time of year people
are traditionally a bit restless in their jobs, and we want to help inspire
people to see that they can change their futures by boosting their skills and
really focusing on their goals."
Judge Lucy Brazier said:- "I'm excited to be back judging the Super
Achievers for the second time, it's incredible to see just how much the
awards have impacted those nominated, short listed and of course the winners
over the last few years. Pitman Training has really put vocational development
on the map, and it really is so key to recognize that in colleagues, friends and
family, who are striving to achieve their career goals. This is a great accolade
to add to your CV. I'd urge people to nominate themselves, as well as others and
rid the Britishness of modesty to instead celebrate success."
