Joining forces with Duke Education & NESA

There’s no doubt about it – the focus on professionalising the employment services sector is increasing.

This has been at the forefront of our minds, and it’s why we’re so committed to creating robust industry training.

Enter an exciting new accredited training program for the sector – a collaboration effort with our friends at Duke Education (RTO 22479) and NESA.

The training will ensure that job coaches can effectively support clients wherever they are on their employment journey, regardless of the program they are accessing.

With our combined expertise and dedication to excellence, this initiative will set a new standard for professional development in the employment services industry.

Accessing this training through Duke Education will position your organisation as a quality provider and contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.

It’s been a big few months for all our clients, colleagues and friends in the DES space. Preparing tenders is challenging for organisations, and I know many of you will be relieved to have them submitted. Well done on getting through!

With only a couple of months left until the end of the year, it’s important to make sure you’re taking time to manage your wellbeing and practise some self-care.

Often, it’s not until we stop and rest that we realise how exhausted we are.

So, for all of you feeling a bit heavy right now, we are here for you. If there’s anything we can do to assist you and your teams, please reach out.

Client love

Maria travelled to London recently to deliver our Coaching Skills for Leaders program to Jobs 22, an organisation founded by the charity Catch22, and the Angus Knight Group, an employability provider.

Working with Jobs 22 is an amazing opportunity to level up their leaders and create an extraordinary culture that puts the wellbeing of their people first.

We love this incredible feedback from participant Christopher…

“Bounce’s Coaching Skills for Leaders training is transformative! From the onboarding, through to the virtual sessions and face-to-face support, it’s all exemplary. Maria is astonishing. So motivational, funny, intelligent – you can tell she knows her stuff. She made me feel I was in the hands of someone who’s walked the walk and could help me develop and grow. For anyone interested in taking this training – take the leap, you won’t regret it.”

We’ve created a space on the website called the Learning Lab for awesome FREE training tools and resources to build your coaching skills. Any time we create a new tool or resource to help you, we’ll add it to the lab, and you can download it without strings attached!

It’s our way of helping you and your team get the most from your interactions and appointments with your clients.

Positive outcomes in life and work are what it’s all about!

Somehow, it’s only two months until the end of the year! How did that happen? I’ve been travelling again – back in America and then to London, delivering training to old and new partners.

And while I love to travel for work, it can zap a lot of energy. This trip, I was lucky enough to spend two weeks of much-needed downtime relaxing in Sicily and Malta.

And boy, did I need it.

I spent time with some special friends and didn’t realise how much I needed to laugh, talk, and see the world through a lens of awe and wonder. It was incredible!

I know how easy it is to get caught in the trap of work and life. It doesn’t feel like there’s time for anything else. But the science is there to back this up – taking time out for yourself isn’t selfish.

Time away from work and the daily grind of life is so important for helping you get a new perspective, see things differently, and recharge your batteries. Your wellbeing, family, friends and work will thank you for it!
