The Art of Profitable Relationships: Uncovering and Claiming Your Value To Attract Clients

September 23, 5:30-8:30 pm, Location : Lesley University Boston MA 

Are you wondering how you can attract more clients? Do you feel your current level of success reflects your true value? Do you wonder how to create meaningful relationships that are also profitable? This workshop is a response to needs expressed by ODLG members through You Define 2010 and the recent World Café to increase their clientele, and develop opportunities for mentoring and collaboration with ODLG members.

The workshop will be a space for accessing our deeper insights and wisdom about our value and how to attract clients. We will discover and share our best practices, and learn systematic methods for attracting and qualifying clients, and closing sales for internal and external consultants in a way that will benefit both new and experienced consultants.

Future Trends in Training (and Learning)

September 29, 5:30-8:30, Worcester

Many forces are creating the need for change in the way we all learn, including:

  • Technology and the resulting increases in connectivity and the reliance on shorter bursts of information.
  • The large increases in the number of people working in home offices isolated from physical interaction with colleagues.
  • Economic upheavals that are causing mid-career workers to re-evaluate their skills and pursue new career paths.


Herb Collins will facilitate this session as we all explore how we can rise to meet these challenges. What will effective formal training and informal learning look like in the next five years? Come share your thoughts!

How Courageous Followers Transform Hierarchical Relationships into Partnerships

October 27, 2010 - 5:30-8:30

Presented by Ira Chaleff

Join us in October to explore the leader-follower dynamic from the follower end of the telescope. When you are not THE leader, how can you help the leader use power wisely and not squander or abuse it? Courage is needed. But also skill and tact. When you are in the leader role, how do you create a culture in which constructive candor does not require courage, because it is the expected norm? This unique seminar will examine what is involved in creating true partnership that supports larger organization development efforts. Ira Chaleff has explored this dynamic for 15 years, and will share with us his findings and insights.
