Getting a job in today’s tough business environment is all about thinking like an entrepreneur.
The thinking skills needed to start your own business, grow your business, or look for a job are all similiar.
Its about focusing on a result and getting to that result.
Entrepreneurial thinking and execution is an extremely hard skill to learn, that is why less than 1% of the population are entrepreneurs. And less than 1% of those are massively successful – by massively, I mean they don’t worry about paying their bills.
Educated professionals and business owners are excellent at critical thinking when its applied to the delivery of their profession.
- Accounts are great at reporting finances to owners and the government.
- Teachers are excellent and helping students understand new concepts.
- Engineers are great at building bridges.
- Computer programmers are great at making and designing software.
- Owners of flower shops are great at creating floral displays.
- People who gyms can improve the health of their members.
- Doctors are terrific and saving lives an finding out what is wrong with you.
- Sales people can present and close business.
- Marketing people can create interest generating programs online, in the newspaper, on TV, and on radio.
- The list goes on and on.
But, professionals looking for a job don’t have the skills needed to find jobs. For the simple reason is that the skills needed are used infrequently across a wide variety of areas.
I have created pages and pages on www.ZaleTabakman.ca dedicated to describing the skills and how to execute these skills. And I am finding its still not enough for people.
What I have found is people need interaction and the ability to learn with me teaching.
I have developed several different courses to help.
I teach the courses in a group setting organized by a sponsor.
I have created a number of different speaking programs based on my skills.
One Hour Or So Talk
- Many people have problem seeing beyond their current situation and need a jolt to get them started.
- Sometimes its a simple as just showing them a path to success, this one hour talk is designed to get the attendees motivated and focused on their job hunt.
- Depending on the group, we select the content is based on one of my top ten lists.
- To fully engage the audience, I include a short 15 minute question and answer session
- The sponsor receives an electronic copy of slides so that they can be reproduced for distribution to attendees.
- Cost:$500, $350 for a not for profit.

Two Hour Training Course
- Many people are really smart at what they do, but they don’t have certain hard skills in place.
- The two hour training session is designed to teach a specific skill.
- I always teach in three modalities to reach everybody in the audience, the Verbal learners, the Reading learners, and we do an assignment in class so the tactile learners get it.
- Other people want to come away Each course is approximately two hours long – never t schedule tightly as I tend to go overtime.
- Content can come from one of my top ten lists, or from my seminar The Magic Profit Formula.
- Depending on the audience we will select the appropriate session.
- I try to interact with every attendee and so the training is designed for a class size of 25 people – larger classes sizes can be accommodated, with lower class interactivity
- Each class includes in-class work, where attendees work through some examples to get them started.
- The sponsor receives an electronic copy of slides and the workbook so that they can be reproduced for distribution to attendees.
