But where was I to start? The world is so vast; I shall start with the country I knew best, my own. But my country is so very large. I had better start with my town. But my town, too, is large. I had best start with my street. No, my home. No, my family. Never mind, I shall start with myself.

For Our Australian Members

"THE CUTTING EDGE"

WORKSHOP SERIES

There's not one, not two, but three workshops this year and you're in for counter-clockwise thinking and unconventional cutting edge ideas.

* You'll learn to lead by doing nothing! Yes, that's right - the most powerful leadership skill is...the ability to do NOTHING.

* You'll discover why it's never been easier to recruit and retain volunteers and how to make the most of these opportunities.

* You'll explore how to really build terrific teams and why conflict can be a cornerstone of your success.

You can read more and check out all the workshop details for the 'The Cutting Edge Workshop Series'

So if you're based in Australia, very quickly, here's the answers to some of the Frequently Asked Questions from people about "The Cutting Edge" Workshops.

Can we mix and match workshops?

Yes! You can attend 1, 2, or all 3 workshops. And yes, you and others in your organization can 'mix and match' with different people attending different workshops. Many people already have.

Who can attend the workshops?

The Leadership Workshop (Day 1 morning) and Teamwork Workshop (Day 2) are also enormously valuable for anyone who is leading others and working in teams - whether this involves employees, colleagues or volunteers. The content will literally change the way you think about leadership and teamwork in the future. The Volunteer Workshop (Day 1 afternoon) is specifically for those working with volunteers and get ready for even more new ideas than at previous workshops!

Are these really speed workshops?

Yes they certainly are! Your time is valuable, so I've designed these high content workshops to not waste a moment. In 3 hours, while others might take the whole day, we'll cover only the very best ideas and strategies using a fast-paced format.

Can we get the discount when mixing and matching?

Yes! 3 different people from your organization can attend and every full registration (to all 3 workshops) receives an extra $20 discount and all the bonus gifts.

Do we really get all the bonus gifts?

Yes! You really do receive the bonus gifts going up to the value of $119.80. These will all add to the learning experience for you. So do check it out!

We've been working behind the scenes and have taken the very best highlights from the previous newsletters and produced another convenient quick read downloadable book for you full of lots of ideas and strategies. This is Book 2 in the FREE series.

The book is divided into four parts covering:

Part 1 – The Power of Strategies                          

Part 2 – Recruiting Volunteers - Case Studies from the Field

Part 3 – Recognition Ideas for Volunteers – Field Feedback

And best of all - its absolutely FREE and available right now.

In exchange, we'd be delighted if you'd help us spread the word to others about our original free book, free newsletters, weekly quick tips and the workshops (for those in Australia).

Just email three friends or colleagues and you'll have access to your book.
