Embracing change in uncertain times
This webinar is designed to inspire the business professional facing unprecedented change and help them to develop the mindset to respond more effectively to the challenges that change and uncertainty brings.
Key learnings include:
- developing the mindset essential to confidently face and embrace change,
- how to take advantage of the powerful interplay between order and chaos,
- why the desire to feel in control and look good can inhibit valuable growth,
- recognising and navigating the 4 stages of the ongoing Cycle of Change.
Survive and thrive: Improve and protect your financial position
“It’s only when the tide goes out that you learn who’s been swimming naked.” It’s easy for businesses to look sound and successful when the economy is booming.
But when disaster strikes, it exposes those businesses whose performance was simply a by-product of the trading conditions around them, not one of sound decision making.
In this webinar, Rick Gomez discusses the importance of budgeting and financial controls.
