the workshop. My proposal was much stronger thanks to the course concepts, the

Influence and credibility are essential for the experienced consultant striving to make a strategic
organizational impact. In this advanced workshop, based on the work of Geoff Bellman, revisit the
core competencies that create this broader impact and how to bring them to the forefront to forge
more powerful client partnerships. Reflect on your current approaches, step back to see your work
from a fresh perspective, and explore alternatives for action. This highly-interactive workshop is
facilitated by a select faculty of Linkage senior-level consultants.

Antioch, and Fielding. His consultation,
workshops and speeches have taken him to five
continents. Over 250,000 copies of Geoff's five
books are in print and available in ten
languages.He helped found the Community
Consulting Partnership, consultants and learners
who give time to the not-for-profit community.
