Spend the Day with Tom Verghese and Cindy Tonkin: Consulting Unplugged-The Secrets of Flourishing in Consulting
About the Day: Wednesday 5th October
Come discover the secrets of successful consulting from two consultants with 19+ years consultancy experience.
Through a participant-driven agenda, find out the intellectual, physical, social, mental and spiritual habits which mean you, can ride the ups and downs of clients and assignments, and still maintain your balance.
The day will cover at least:
• You are more than you think: self-promotion within organisations and beyond
• You can do it: framing proposals in a way that clients want to go ahead
• You are who you hang out with: networking for your career
• You are worth it: negotiating briefs, fee structures, deadlines and scope creep
• You are human: dealing with intimidating clients; pushing back to the client; keeping your head together
• You are a global player: taking your business beyond your city, your state and your own country
This session is designed for both internal and external consultants.
