Summary
It's brunch time! Join the CIEEM Freelance Practitioner SIG for regular informal discussions focusing on the challenges and opportunities that being freelance or part of a very small business brings. Each virtual brunch will cover a different topic.
Description
This session will focus on Managing your life around your freelance role. It will explore how the flexibility that draws many of us to freelancing can also create challenges when it comes to balancing work with the rest of life. We’ll open up discussion around managing care responsibilities, planning for and actually taking annual leave, what to do when you need to take sick leave, and how to think ahead toward winding down to retirement.
Where you feel comfortable, your engagement as a participant will help make the most of the time we have by broadening and deepening the discussion, and by including 'real-life' examples. Please come prepared with any items you’d like to talk about - as the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved. Each event is held in confidence in order to encourage free and frank discussion and will not be recorded, so please do attend on the day.
While we respect there is competition in the freelancing world, we all share a common goal, to protect the environment for nature and people. We hope you will join us and be a stronger part of the freelance community within our sector. See you there!
