Pre-Workshop
Benchmark Profiling

Each participant receives a report from peers, direct reports and management specific to his/her strengths and weaknesses
By identifying key areas for improvement to a particular habit, the attendee can focus immediately on improvement
This report can serve as a baseline for long-term behaviour change

A note from Sharon after the Course

I am home safe and sound
- after a couple of bumpy flights and landings!

And I definately don't want to live in Brisbane
- and the Gold Coast is ugly
Far too much traffic everywhere!

I did go for a long walk at 6.00am each morning
along the beach and that was really nice
Our hotel looked out over the broadwater
and we saw dolphins swimming along - twice
They were beautiful!

Had a great time at the Course
I have been working at the Post Office for eighteen years
and this was by far the best course, training, workshop -
whatever you call it - I have ever been on

I have a book if you ever want to read it
"7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Powerful Lessons in Personal Change"

Stop rolling your eyes, Geoff and Brett,
and don't ask me smart questions!!
I think you will like it Tanya
