NESM and Enhanced Services: Preparing For Your Proposal 2 Workshop
On-line in 5 -parts

In May this year we ran a very successful three-part series called ‘NESM – Preparing For Your Proposal’. The series looked at the proposed licencing and payments models, as well as giving newer people an insight into the evolution of Australia’s employment services and the current landscape. We also looked at how the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE) have traditionally monitored performance and some key tips around responding to DESE procurement exercises.
This Preparing For Your Proposal 2 workshop builds on this. With the release of the Request for Proposal we now have a greater insight into what NESM Enhanced Services will look like ‘on the ground’.
Preparing For Your Proposal 2 workshop will be delivered on-line in five modules over five near consecutive days, starting Wednesday 15 September 2021.
The workshop will be delivered by Damien Opolski with topic expert Annette Gill joining him in Module 5.

SUMMARY
Hard or confrontational conversations are an inevitable part of the job of a front line employment services consultant, and are a critical moment in the relationship-building process. Getting these exchanges right is very important. Getting them wrong is unfortunately very easy.
Listen to Dr. Colin Harrison, as he explores the key issues underlying effective verbal communication in general, and in confrontational situations in particular.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
- How meaning works (you might be surprised!)
- Communicative styles and their utility
- The fight or flight response and how to manage it
- The importance of altercentrism
- Speaking with your ears (active listening strategies)
Understanding these things will position you better to deal with hard conversations in a way that allows you to remain calm and focussed. You should come away with strategies to put into place to improve your communicative behaviour, which will have a positive effect on your professional environment, your own peace of mind, and your effectiveness as a front line consultant.

SPEAKERS - PRACTITIONERS CONFERENCE
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
“A tour bus is a petri dish of human behaviour, and is the best way to get to know exactly how to work with all different types of people”
How do you go from being an industry trainer and leader across Europe for Contiki Holidays to being one of the most sought after keynote speakers and professional trainers in Australia and the Asia Pacific? That is the question asked often of Mark and the answer he says is simple, it is all about understanding people. Understanding how they behave, think and make the choices they do, both professionally and personally.
As an experienced motivational keynote speaker it’s this understanding that has seen Mark hold senior and strategic leadership development roles for major global players across the Asia Pacific and Europe and led to him to being invited to work on projects design and implement sales strategies and bespoke methodologies for billion-dollar sales teams across the globe. Add to that some serious hard work and that is how in twenty years Mark has moved from connecting with people in Europe to connecting with people in their own lives, all as a guest speaker and trainer.

Program Forum
Supporting strong delivery now & stronger design for the future
NESA MEMBERS ONLY EVENT!
It has been over twelve months since Community Development Providers (CDP) providers have had a chance to come together and discuss innovations, opportunities, and challenges within the program.
During that time, we have seen a range of policy and program decisions implemented, and the election of the Albanese Government.
Over the next twelve months, there are opportunities to improve the way we support job seekers and employers in remote communities.
The opportunity also exists to contribute to the design of a new approach to remote employment services.
Providers should attend to:
• Connect and network with other service providers
• Hear from the Department on the current policy and program parameters affecting remote employment services
• Inform and shape NESA’s policy contribution to the redesign process
MORE INFO COMING SOON!!
