Workshops

There are FOUR workshops to choose from. Each have limited numbers, so register now to get first pick.

Shawn McVey	Problems and Pain: A New Way of Thinking Life is difficult. Problems hurt and they never really go away. Learn to look at life and work from a whole new paradigm. We often develop unhealthy workplace behaviours that are simply coping mechanisms for ineffective problem solving, so once we understand how to face problems with discipline we can move through them and SOLVE them rather than obsess over them and pass the difficulties on to the people around us.
Jim Stowe	Putting Common Sense into Common Practice Session 1 The Secret(s) - What makes one practice succeed and another struggle? Secrets will be revealed. What is common sense? How do we get common sense practiced routinely? Session 2 Dreams and Realities - It’s all about achieving a balance between the dreams of the owner(s) and the realities of how to get people willing to help us achieve those dreams. Session 3 Moats & Mountains - We build moats to keep enemies at bay. We look for mountains to climb often ill equipped to cope with the altitude. Identify realistic objectives and remove obstacles? Session 4 Growth & Rebirth - What must a leader (owner, partner or manager) do to lead effectively? How do we sustain growth?
Donna Hanson	Using Technology to Shake up your Marketing Find out about a range of low cost to NO Cost mechanisms you can immediately implement to Shake Up Your Business Marketing. The session will look at tips and shortcuts for managing and analysing lists of information in Excel, options for using email to market your business and low to no cost ways to use technology to market your business.
Rob White	Profit, Practice Value, Performance Improvements and Pay - The Australian Experience Using real time data from his extensive Australian practice surveys, Rob White of MPV Consulting will explore the relationship between the performance of all staff (including owners) on profit and practice value. Delegates will come away with a complete package allowing them to set up performance evaluation, coaching and realistic remuneration systems to improve practice performance at all levels.
