Yes, you're invited...

Imagine having a whole group of people strategising to ensure you get your next promotion and pay increase faster. We're inviting you to join the Sharpin community. It's like having a team of professionals focussed on helping you accelerate your career. I'm sure you'd agree that having an accomplished team behind you, and supporting you all the way, will help you achieve your career goals much faster than if you just went it alone. We certainly think so. That's why we're inviting you to join us now.

Sharpin members are from all over the world. We meet to share and have access to the best advice, tools, and assistance in reaching their career goals.

Every month we have a one-hour Sharpin MasterClass with an expert or a high-profile member of the business community who is sharing actionable success strategies, tools and tips. Then you implement, and we'll help you along the way.

You will also participate in the monthly Sharpin MasterMind. It's a facilitated group webinar where we workshop the chosen methodologies and increase accountability to implement. We'll help with specific challenges, and discuss solution opportunities with the power of the group which has a common goal: group member success. Your success.

Now because knowledge is only power when applied, we've built this to help you do that. Apply. Result. Repeat.

Your membership also includes access to Sharpin MasterCourses, online courses for subject immersion and self-paced learning, designed so you get the idea or tool, and so you can apply it and benefit from it. These include:

  • Tim Wade's Promotion Payrise Express program

  • The Cache Group's Supercharge Your LinkedIn Profile

  • Get The Gig - Gold Star Interview Techniques from professional recruiters

  • Thought Leadership Mastery - building your personal brand for growing your career influence

  • Coaching Skills for Leaders
