Thought for the Week

 

I am getting ready to attend the 2012 CDC this Monday and Tuesday and looking forward to seeing everyone. The conference is always a great way to catch up with people and to get a sense of how people are doing.  It is going to be a smaller group this year and yet still a powerful time together.

We have decided to change my session from a CDC session to a webinar.  In discussion with BCCDA, and based on feedback I have been getting from the field, we felt that the topic - Creating Significance - Leading Teams in the New Employment Program - is something that managers and supervisors from all over BC would benefit from so we decided to open it up to a wider audience through the webinar format.  Watch for upcoming details on this!

I am also speaking at an AMSSA event on March 8 in Vancouver  - again on motivating staff in times of change.  It will be great to have an opportunity to discuss this topic with leaders from the immigrant service agencies from around BC.  A big thank you to AMSSA for including me in their day.

This is obviously a challenging time for organizations and for leaders. I am available to present a variety of workshops, lunch and learns or webinars for organizations and their leaders on how to manage during these times.  Just give me a call or email to discuss!

Thanks to all of you for subscribing and enjoy your week!

Spotlight Event
ETHOS Workshop - Nanaimo and Victoria 
ETHOS is hosting this Get Clients Now! workshop in Nanaimo and Victoria this spring and it got me to thinking....

Are we thinking about where clients are going to come from?  Client flows are a big area of focus in the new model - you won't make enough money if you don't have enough clients.  Having said that, have we actually thought about HOW we are going to get clients or just IF we are going to get referrals of clients from government?  It is an interesting shift in thinking about where clients come from.  Are you comfortable with government being responsible for your client flow? Are you marketing the same way you always have in this new climate? Does being the only employment program in town mean you are guaranteed an adequate client flow?

I don't have the answers to these questions - they are just ones that come to mind when I think about the link between client flow and revenue generation. It is a new world and this link has never been so strong so it makes me wonder - will the same client attraction techniques of today work in the future?

I also thought about Career Practitioners who are moving into self-employment - either for the short term while they continue to look for work in the industry or in the long term as they move away from employment in government funded programs and they embark on a journey of private practice.  What kind of marketing will work for these entrepreneurs? How will they find clients? How will those of us who can refer to them, know about them?  Hmmm, maybe there is a service I can offer to support that..... 

Regardless of how you learn to get clients, whether it be this workshop or something else, it is important to think about and to address early on in the game.  Your revenues depend on it.
