Many retirees consider taking on a little work after they have left the public service. Tamara Guttman of TLG Consulting & Communications is offering two webinars this year to help you navigate the ins and outs of taking on paid work in retirement. In the first webinar in March 2025, Tamara focussed on presenting your skills and seeking opportunities for work, as well as sharing many practical tips about home office tools, security clearance, pension and tax, and more.
In this second webinar on September 24, Tamara will take you through different scenarios for working in retirement, including doing terms or casuals with the government, and setting up your own small business to take on professional services contracts, along with more top tips for success!
Tamara had a rewarding career with Global Affairs Canada for over 32 years, serving in a wide range of diplomatic roles at home and abroad, including as Canada’s Ambassador to Hungary, Slovenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and as the department’s Inspector General. Outside of the foreign service, she has also been a speech writer and advisor to the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, and later was Director of Communications for the Association of Professional Executives (APEX) of the Public Service of Canada.
Since retiring in 2022, Tamara has enjoyed having the flexibility to pursue her passions, including creating her own consultancy to lend her experience and expertise to clients on leadership development and organizational ethics and effectiveness. She is an accomplished training guide and facilitator, and has also collaborated with the National Association of Federal Retirees on diverse communications and research initiatives to share her experiences in building a post-retirement career.
The content will be presented in English, however bilingual participation is encouraged. La présentation se fera en anglais, mais la participation dans les deux langues officielles est encouragée.
