Employers, leaders and managers are all looking to understand how to build a flexible workforce and want to know how they can embrace and embed freelancers within their teams to enhance team performance. In this class you’ll learn how you can get the most from bringing freelancers into your team, and you how you can rethink the work your team needs to do into work that freelancers can deliver for you.

Add to that mix that Alison is also an entrepreneur who has established her own businesses and it becomes clear why she is in such demand by many creative businesses as a consultant and non-exec.

A spark is something quite small and, by itself, not very powerful. But a spark has the ability to ignite. An idea is like a spark; alone it is just a set of words, but it too can ignite. A great idea can inspire others to dream bigger. Let us all work together to ignite something greater than ourselves.
Let us all be a Spark of Optimism.
