Calling all consultants, advisors and fractional leaders who are facing internal comms challenges or planning / implementing any kind of organisational change! Throughout July, I’m opening up my diary exclusively to the TPC community for a limited number of free, 30-minute conversations. These are confidential and under Chatham House Rules – a chance to use me as a sounding board, get a fresh perspective or talk through a tricky internal comms situation.
I’m making this room alongside my client work, and I’ll close the offer once it reaches capacity – so if this sounds useful, you can book directly here: https://calendly.com/nicola-lumen/discovery
If you’d like to check if it’s the right fit first, drop me a message here on the TPC platform (or email [email protected]).

Thanks so much for this, Nicola! We will keep your kind offer in mind and refer on anyone who mentions they’re in need of support

Great opportunity … knowing Nicola the way Zed and I do (she has been in the Portfolio Peer Forum for over a year) I urge people to jump at the chance/she really knows her stuff … maybe even TPC itself might jump at the chance with you Nicola? 🙂 Now there’s a novel idea!

Nicolas Schwabach posted in the group Freelancers
Here’s a philosophical question for all freelancers:
If a freelancer receives regular paid work from another freelancer, is he/she expected to reciprocate?
Just curious!

Interesting question, Nicolas! I guess it is down to the type of relationship that the two parties have? If there is any agreement in place, then that would need to be fulfilled, but in the scenario that something more informal is in place then it would depend on how they have been working together.
Eg. a COO may contract with the same graphic designer each time they have a new initiative that needs designing but would likely not expect to receive multiple COO opportunities in kind, whereas a…

posted in the group The Wine GroupI just became Chairman of the Board of Governance Board of a winery near me called Wilson Creek Winery
https://www.wilsoncreekwinery.com/
a family business celebrating 25 years and the busiest winery in Temecula Valley, Southern California Wine Country https://www.visittemeculavalley.com/wine/ (nearly 60 wineries within 5 miles, having built 12 brand new ones in the 12 years we have lived here) and am having a blast getting spooled up … not least of all, it takes a lot of ”research” to judge the quality of our wines! 😊 Tough duty, but someone has to do it!

Biggest sellers are a White Cabernet Sauvignon and Almond Sparkling (aka Champagne) … plus various great Reds and Whites … including our ”Block 9” Red Cabernet Sauvignon using Regenerative Agriculture https://www.wilsoncreekwinery.com/regenerative-ag/ for which we are a regional (possibly national) leader and just won an award https://www.wilsoncreekwinery.com/wilson-creek-winery-wins-prestigious-acg-award-for-pioneering-regenerative-farming-in-california-wine-country/

Hi everyone. Would anyone be able to recommend any good recruiters that specialise (or at least also focus on in addition to perm roles) in interim/temporary work? I’m speaking to a couple that I’ve been introduced to but wanting to set a few more going.

Thanks for your query, Jenny! Are you looking to take on temp team members or searching for opportunities for yourself?
We can tag some community members who may be able to help with this info

Rather selfishly it’s for me!
-
Not selfish at all! It might be helpful for others in a similar boat too – so all helpful knowledge
Tagging some of our recruitment related community members who may have an answer for you: Holly Ashford, Jon Morgan, Christina Taylor, David Tait, Stephanie Birch, Rebekah Gibson, Mike Barclay
