Are you interested in working again in retirement? Tamara Guttman of TLG Consulting is providing two webinars this year to cover the ins and outs of finding paid work in retirement. In this first webinar in March, Tamara will share information on presenting your skills and seeking opportunities, as well as practical tips about home office tools, security clearance, pension considerations and more. In the September webinar, Tamara will discuss what you need to know about doing terms or casuals with the government, and the world of professional services contracts and becoming your own small business.

More on our presenter: 

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.
