"MONEY & THINKING" WORKSHOP with BILL ZHENG

Bill Zheng is a very successful Businessman, an Educator about Finance (and a really nice guy) from Investors Direct in Melbourne.

Bill’s work fits so closely with the work we do at Mindworks that we have asked him to run a Day in Brisbane on Sunday the 16th October at the Kedron-Wavell R.S.L., which we are sponsoring. It will be about Money and Our Thinking.  The cost will be $55 per ticket and you get to bring your partner or friend as your guest. This workshop will go from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Melbourne Education days that Investors Direct run fill up within two to three days. Those of us who have done other courses in Financial education know that $55 is unbelievably cheap, let alone being able to bring a guest.

Feel free to tell others about the day, they will be guaranteed to get some Better Views of the Situation.

Be warned, you will get your thinking shaken up and you will hear some great ideas. If you are Investing or thinking about it, you have got to come along. You can get more information about Bill and his Company and what will be covered on the day by checking out their web site and go to “events.”

You will also need to book in through that site.

Evaluation of our programs:

CARMEL THOMPSON - SOUTHERN CROSS CONNECTIONS

A good proportion of our business comes via word of mouth.  If you don't deliver the goods, you don't stay in business and the fact that Laurie has been a successful presenter for 20 years speaks for itself.

Carmel recently enjoyed a "Creating the Thinking Environment" workshop facilitated by Eric Frangenheim and here are her thoughts on her experience....

ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM "INFORMATION OVERLOAD" ?

You need to: Read Smarter  - Think faster

We hear this from so many people –  managers, sales staff, IT experts, small business owners, office personnel, supervisors, professionals  - they all have the same question - "Great idea, but how do you do it?".

You have so much to read; you need to get through it all, and more importantly you need to be able to comprehend and retain all that you have read, and then figure out what is useful!! You are coping with an increasing workload and expectations in the workplace to get more done, with seemingly finite resources. There is a real challenge to keep on top of it all, whilst maintaining your sanity.

Mindworks have now developed a half-day workshop designed to teach you the skills and techniques to do just that!  In four hours we can help your team "sharpen the saw" and increase their ability to assimilate new data in the workplace.  This course is available in-house - we will come to you - just ask us.
