About this webinar
Sponsored by Civitas Strategies and Early Childhood Investigations Consulting Directory.
CERTIFICATES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS WEBINAR OR ANY OF THE WEBINARS FOR CONSULTANTS!
This webinar, presented by Gary Romano of Civitas Strategies, will draw from the forthcoming book Small But Mighty to help you start your own consultancy or define the most important pillars of your work. In this first installment of the Small but Mighty Consultants Series, we'll focus on clarifying your mission, uncovering your value (what customers will get from working with you) and be clear about your differentiators (what makes you different from your competitors). In short, we will establish the foundation on which you will build your consultancy. We will then take you step-by-step through creating your Minimum Viable Company (MVC) which lets you move quickly from ideas to delivering your product and service. After participating in this webinar, you will:
Become confident enough to start your consulting practice and define your services.
Identify your value in the marketplace and articulate it to others.
Understand how to cost-effectively start and operate your business and provide valuable services to clients.
All sessions are 1.5 hours long, and include a brief announcement from our sponsor. 2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time. Can’t participate in our webinars at the appointed time? Never fear! All of the webinars are recorded. To view the recording, simply register now and you will receive an email with a link to the recording when it is ready to be viewed. You can still download the certificate by watching the recording to the end when the certificate link is announced and displayed on the screen. *Please be advised that you will only be eligible for the great door prizes if you participate in the live session.
Because this webinar is intended for consultants, we will not offer Certificates of Attendance for this session or the other sessions in the Small but Mighty Webinar Series.
