SIG- Consultants: Good intentions and bad habits

About this event

In this special interest group session we will be looking at our ways of working.

Session three – Good intentions and bad habits

In this session we will be looking at our ways of working.

· What is intentional?

· What is unintentional?

· What is serving us well?

· What needs to be changed?

Our theme for the 2024/5 season is ‘Consult, Coach, Change’

No matter what aspect of HR your business covers, each of us is required to consult with, coach, and change something within our clients. This is the heart of what we do.

Each session this season we explore a different aspect of client interaction, reflecting on both our own practices and how we impact clients.

Join us on MS Teams from the comfort of your own home or office. Places are strictly limited to ensure an interactive session.

This is a great opportunity to meet and learn with like-minded individuals who probably share some of your challenges and frustrations. Usually they have great ideas and suggestions to share as well.

We are often complimented on being a friendly and supportive group – join us to find out for yourself.

Each session this season will follow a similar pattern:

· Pre-session networking

· A short input on topic

· Opportunity for self-application and development

· Applying the principles to our clients

· Developing great client coaching questions, tools and techniques

· Review and networking

Subsequent sessions are:

09/04/25 – Passion and Aspirations (online)

11/06/25 – Round up and Overview; summer get together (face-to-face)
