Mastering peaks and troughs in your independent career

June 8, 2017 Dorothy Mead

One of the biggest uncertainties about embarking on an independent career is whether you will have consistent, steady work. There are bound to be peaks and troughs in demand - learning to manage these is a core key skill for a successful independent career.

In this webinar we will be hearing from two highly experienced independent consultants who will give their advice on ways to balance the highs and the lows of an independent work-life.

It will cover:

How to be financially prepared for periods of downtime.
Ways to plan a pipeline of work for quieter periods.
How to keep your morale up.

Join us on Tuesday 4th July at 16.30pm BST
