April, Another Month On

So far we’ve survived New Year, torrential rain and flooding in many parts of the eastern seaboard, PMW and this weekend, Easter holidays. Now into the fourth month of the year, we at Professionals Service Centre are well and truly into preparation and implementation mode for the 2012-13 financial year. As crazy as it seems, we already have a jam packed event and marketing calendar, that for those Professionals members who were at the Principals and Managers Workshop in March, would have some inkling of already. Registrations are coming in...

Glocal is the New Local*

I’d just like to start by thanking everyone who attended and made Professionals’ Principal’s and Managers Workshop last week, the great event that it was. In today’s blog post I’d like to cover off on a few of the points I made at PMW for those that weren’t there and those that have asked about these points since.

Being able to watch Professionals members talking and sharing information with one another gives...

We Need to Keep On Keeping On: Part 1

There were a number of things that came out of last week’s Principal’s and Manager’s Workshop for me, one of which was the message that as humans, we need to keep on keeping on, despite the turmoil that has been thrown our way in recent months. Part one of this blog is about a very important topic – breast cancer. Not only because Professionals is a partner to the National Breast Cancer Foundation of Australia, but also because it has affected people in my life and I see and feel first hand the affects it has on sufferers, their...
