Peak Performance in Business
with Dr John Tickell
"How can you look after a business if you can?t even look after yourself? To be able to survive and thrive in the pressure cooker of life we need to learn how keep our act together, kick start the motor to take control of our lives, this is called self-management? says Dr John Tickell.
Take some of the guesswork out of the future economic climate in Australia and overseas.
Where should your investment strategy be focused in 2008? At this breakfast Peter will look at the current drivers of the Australian and global economies; discuss how a US slowdown may effect Australia; will the Australian economy be 'stronger for longer'? ; will the cost of commodities kill the Asian growth story; what are his 'fearless forecasts' for the share market, interest rates and the Australian dollar for this year and the next 5 to 10 years.
