Offering #4 :
The Australian Consultants Guide (by Cindy Tonkin; the consultants consultant)

Regardless on whether you are an internal consultant working within a large organisation, new to the industry of consulting or even one who has been in the game for some time now... its time to take a good hard look at the way you operate your Consulting Business, and the way to do that is via the Australian Consultants Guide, written by one of our most experienced consultants Cindy Tonkin.

This ebook guides you to consultancy success by examining topics such as: 

  • creating a personal business plan
  • setting up your workplace
  • generating business quickly
  • marketing and pricing your services

A range of easy-to-use checklists and templates, including the "magic charge-out" formula, enable consultants to become effective and time-efficient professionals. Chapter summaries allow for easy reference and a consulting phrase book explains the industry's jargon. 
This is a great resource you must have in your Consulting Tool Bag. Click here for details.

Now more then ever it is important to learn the secrets of
EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE

RESILIENCE FUNDAMENTALS
A Workshop for Managers & Leaders

This workshop provides managers with an opportunity to become more resilient in their work and to understand the impact that building resilient teams has on business outcomes.

In this workshop you will learn…

  • Why some people take knock after knock and are still smiling, while others crumple at the slightest criticism?
  • Why some people succeed even in the face of high pressure, challenge and change?
  • Why do some people seem to have that all-important work-life-balance worked out?

Resilience Fundamentals is a personal skills development program designed to build on ones own resilience – the ability to remain focused, on-task and in problem solving mode – in the face of workplace adversities like change, ambiguity and uncertainty. It will include real case studies to work with, practical skills sets to master and an interactive learning approach.
