Responding to the questions or needs of clients concerning their personal and business finances does not usually belong to the syllabus of professional trainings offered to consultants, coaches and therapists. Yet these questions often lie in the background, or even the core, of the client's search for professional help. When faced with such questions how do you handle them? In this two-part training a simple but profound system will be taught that will enable you to address the subject of money, integrate it into your particular discipline and so deal with these situations with confidence. The system can be adapted to your own individual attitude and way of handling money, and in the training you will have the opportunity to practise and develop the system to a basic competence level. A "hot" and often taboo topic is opened here, but with simplicity and humour.
The subjects covered in the training include:
- results of empirical research on the relation between emotionality and money
- enhanced awareness and appreciation of your own thought and behavioural patterns with money
- an exchange on the subject of fees and professional fee systems – and how these influence the client relationship and the consulting process
- a simple presentation in layman's language of how money comes into existence and the global money system as it presently works
Cost
Unless otherwise specified the cost of the programme varies according to your own fee rate. The charge for each part is equivalent to €240 plus the equivalent of two hours of your professional fees. (For those who have a variable hourly rate, we suggest you pick the rate which represents the average rate you charge.) We hope that this will reflect the individual means of each consultant. However, we appreciate that this may not always be the case, and therefore we are open to negotiation.
About the facilitator: Peter Koenig
Peter has studied the phenomenology of money since the early 1980s, giving presentations and performing original research with small groups. Following an MBA in Geneva, Peter ran a business providing management training, leadership and strategic development processes for companies. The stimulus for his monetary research began through observing the arbitrary effects of financial tools used in the context of these activities. In 1987 he became an independent financial and organisational consultant to companies and non-profit organisations. In 1994 he launched his first public Money Seminar and in 1999 initiated a new international conference series on Money & Business Partnership.
These seminars, conferences and his recently published book, 30 Lies About Money, aredesigned to complement one another and meet the growing need of people who seek to develop wise, intelligent and ordered responses in dealing with money. Peter has lived in Switzerland since 1973, when he went there to manage the European real estate of a large US multinational. He originally obtained a degree in Estate Management in London and practised as a Chartered Surveyor.
