6, Hired in Sport, then Fired. Why? (Sorry, Australia Only)
I heard an interesting quote recently: “People in sport get hired for their technical skills and fired for their people skills.” So I thought it was extremely appropriate for launching our Open Program Schedule in Australia. On-going, quality professional development is a must for anyone involved in sport, and especially so for those who pursue being the best in their field and on-top of the game. This year, we’re running our programs in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and offering the following programs:
- The Personal Effectiveness Program
- Developing High Performing Teams Program
- Negotiation Skills Intensive Program
- Presentation Skills Program
Also, we are looking to take our programs to Singapore and New Zealand later this year, please contact me if you are interested in these locations.
