Core Skills Training Consultants has developed the unique, 11 Step Sustainable Growth Potential Series, which helps you to build your business, improve your lifestyle, and increase your profits through Sustainability Management!

Sustainability fully incorporates the principles of human and ecological sustainability principles using management techniques to address the critical issues of organisational adaptation, in the face of an increasingly changing environment.

Essentially, it embodies organisational processes that seek synergy through the combination of data and information with the creative and innovative capacity of human beings and their need to actively pursue real world values.

Victoria Furrer-Brown is the owner and Director of Core Skills Training Consultants. She is recognised for her ability to move from strategic thinking to being a hands-on business partner. Victoria is fluent in project management planning, timing, communication and delivery. She is outcome focused and adept at working with, and influencing, cross-functional teams to ensure timely results. As an innovator and leader, and as the developer of Core Skill’s unique Sustainable Growth Potential Series, she recognises that sustainability management systems must be supported by the human side of organisations (the Power of People!).

She was an inaugural member of the NSW Committee for the Australian Council for Private Education and Training, an independent female assessor for the NSW Police Force and a member of the Research Committee for the International Coach Federation.

With a Bachelor of Education (Adult Education), a Masters Degree in Business & Technology, and a major sequence of study in Communications Development, topped with over 17 years of senior management experience, Victoria's wealth of skills and knowledge are both today based and future oriented.

"My personal vision is that organisations will use Sustainability Management simply because they want to be responsible and accountable!"

If this sounds like you or someone you know, the chances are they are overworked to some degree and headed in some way headed towards self-harm. If you would like to show them that they really could make the time to do all the things they want, that they can have plenty of energy for family, work and friends, and that they can have control over their income and finances, you would be showing them the way to work/life balance. Our time management and balance seminars can help you to do this through the establishment of strong personal foundation.
