My last few weeks

Hello,
It's been a while since my last blog. I've just returned after having completed my first of two training sessions; Consumer Induction - VIC and Commerical Induction - TAS. Both training sessions went very well. Both were quite small groups but it was great to have the experience of delivering two completely different training sessions e.g in the Consumer and Commercial space. I look forward to the next training session. Within the next few weeks I have another Commerical Induction coming up, as VIC and SA are currently recruiting. Although I hope to be able to combine the two states. Fingers crossed. Apart from this I'm just madly preparing for the wedding... the family have all started to arrive from England and it's all starting to become a reality. This coming Thursday is my last day in the office as Cathryn Burbidge, and when I return on 07 April 08 I will be Cathryn Johnson.

I'm back!!!

I have now been here for 1 month, and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself, with a great supportive team and I'm loving the exciting new opportunities that await. After having the last few days off recovering from the dreaded cold, I'm glad to be back in the office. Although I must admit it was hard to leave the warmth of the doona this morning. Apart from being sick at home what have I been up to? Last week I had 2 days out on road coaching. I found this quite exciting and a great opportunity to see what really happens out on the road. I'm looking forward to further developing the coaching structure down here in Melbourne and have planned many more coaching days. Apart from the coaching, I have 2 Commerical Induction and 1 Consumer Induction that needs to be scheduled. The only thing holding this up, is the recruitment!!!All managers are finding there isn't a good quality of candidates coming through, so at the moment it is a case of sitting tight and being as prepared as I can be until the right candidates are appointmented..
