Reiki Benefits: Lisa Ventura Annouces Qualifications Gained in Reiki Healing

Reiki Benefits: Lisa Ventura Annouces Qualifications Gained in Reiki Healing

Ever since I lost my much loved and much wanted son Francesco “Frankie” Enrico Ventura to stillbirth I have looked for ways to navigate through life as an empty armed mother with no children. This can be easier said than done, but the one thing that has helped me immensely has been Reiki healing.

I am therefore extremely proud to announce that, alongside my cyber security work, I am now qualified in this having taken the following courses:

Reiki Healing 1 – Healing Myself
Reiki Healing 2 – Healing Others
Spiritual Guidance & Awareness
Animal Reiki Healing

I did these courses with Kay Wilkinson of Kay Wilkinson Holistic Therapy and I’m looking forward to putting into practice what I’ve learnt in the coming months and assembling a portfolio of evidence to become a Reiki Healing Master in 2020.

When I took these courses I knew that I wanted to do them to give back and to share with others just how beneficial Reiki healing is. To that end Kay and I will be running a Reiki Healing Event on Wednesday 29th January 2020, 7pm at Ruskwick Village Hall, Rushwick, Worcester.

We will be talking about the benefits of Reiki and giivng 15 minute introductory Reiki Healing sessions to those who attend. Entry to the event is free, but we will be asking for donations to Dementia UK.

Thank you Kay for inducting me into the world of Reiki healing, and I will be sharing my journey with this on my site.

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy 2019

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy 2019

I look forward to what 2019 has to bring, the year ahead and new beginnings and challenges.

With love,

The Innovation Game: Report Commissioned by Microsoft, Paxata and Accenture

The Innovation Game: Report Commissioned by Microsoft, Paxata and Accenture

As part of my work at Corinium Global Intelligence I was thrilled to be involved in the production of a report commissioned by Microsoft, Paxata and Accenture called “The Innovation Game”. This report examined the challenges, opportunities and technology requirements to push forward data and analytics in organisations, and I provided commentary around some of the findings that came up in the report.

Some of the key findings in the report include:

  • Over 60 percent of respondents surveyed stated that their organizations store and use data for business analytics in a hybrid, multi-cloud strategy with data originating from cloud environments and existing on premises infrastructure.
  • Nearly all (93 percent) respondents said that their organizations are investing more than $1 million in new analytics initiatives in 2018/19. The main purpose of their analytics function are achieving cost savings and efficiency (43 percent) and to bolster revenue generation (23 percent).
  • Three out of four (75 percent) are set up and trained on self-service analytics, and 76 percent of those that are set up believe this approach has enabled proliferation, understanding, and use of analytics throughout the business.

The report was launched during Corinium’s prestigious Chief Analytics Officer Spring event in San Francisco.
