The next PCC event on October 7, 4:30 to 7:00
 
RossoJohn Rosso, Founder and CEO of Peak Performance Management, has grown his consulting and training practice into a multi-million business.

Speed Peer Consulting

 Mark your calendars for a unique PCC Event on November 16
 
Have a consulting challenge that's keeping you up at night?  Don't know where to turn Bunky?  Then here's your answer.
 
Tap into the collective wisdom of your consulting colleagues to receive (and also give) top notch advice on any consulting challenge that has you perplexed, stressed out or just looking for some fresh ideas.
 
All you have to do is to register, than bring a high priority topic around which to draw on the knowledge and insight of the Consulting Community. You will work with small teams to take turns offering and receiving ideas for addressing your top issues. It's creativity and networking at its best and a very unique way to allow you to combine new ideas and make new connections to address what's on your mind.

What's in it for you? You will realize immediate relevant, actionable takeaways to help you work through your issues and concerns. 

 
More details coming soon!
 
Consulting Mastermind Groups 
 
I've had many requests to consider developing a more structured, richer approach to helping folks learn from their colleagues in the Community . . . something more then the large group events.   As a result, we will be kicking off Consulting Mastermind Groups as another component to our Community.
 
Mastermind groups have been successfully used by many small business owners to sharpen their business skills, to grow their businesses, and to grow personally.  We're going to capitalize on that success and apply it specifically to the business of consulting.
 
A Mastermind Group is not a class, is not group coaching, and is not a networking or referral group.  It is a combination of group facilitation, peer brainstorming, and mutual support and accountability in a small group setting focused on a definite purpose.  The purpose is set by the group. 
 
I  envision two levels of groups.  One for those just starting their consulting practice and another for more experienced consultants who want to kick their practice up a notch.
 
The kick off for the Mastermind Groups will be later later this year, probably in December.  Watch your email and this newsletter for details on a KickOff/Orientation meeting.
 
In the meantime, if you are intrigued or have any questions, please contact Michael Couch, 412.952.9036 or Michael@mcassociatesinc.com
