Community Economics
We can design workshops and forum that suit each situation with topic experts - experienced in real life not just theory bound - as needed.
Specific Themes and Subjects
Knowing your community – It’s difficult to influence something that we don’t understand. Each community is different and understanding how a particular community functions and interacts is important. Who are the important people? Which sectors are growing or declining? What does the future hold?
Influencing with purpose – developing the right mindset, skills, understanding and plans for achieving the influence needed to get results.
Dealing with the dark side – the great fear of most people - experienced and not so experienced – is dealing with dishonesty, aggression, threats and deceit from individuals in positions of influence. This session deals with that very troubling, tricky and confronting issue.
Writing Economic Development Plans
- outcome focused not on the best looking fanciest report but on action. Grant writing skills can be included as needed.
Developing networks, contacts, partnerships and cooperation -
sometimes this is easy to achieve but often it isn't, yet the fact is that getting access to government funds and support often means showing (and having) a united voice.
Specific issues that can be addressed include: Organisational Politics; Community politics; Federal, State and Local politics.
(We don't yet do family politics as that is way too complicated.)

We are on ngunnawal and ngambri land. They have been here for at least 20,000 years. They have had tens of thousands of leaders in that time. They survived until Europeans turned up and still survive in spite of everything. Europeans and other ethnic groups have been here for a few hundred years. Always worth acknowledging.
