(WASHINGTON, DC) January 8, 2019 – As the Federal government partial shutdown draws into its third week, most of the focus has rightfully been on the 800,000 Federal workers who are furloughed however, there are potentially thousands of Contractors who are off of the job (there is no central government repository that captures verified numbers of contractors working on any given contract at a particular time).
Local small business and career strategist Kesi Stribling has launched a coaching series to prepare businesses for their next level of success. Drawing from her decades as a coach to small and mid-sized businesses, companies, and nonprofit organizations, the Level-Up Your Strategy™ coaching series is designed to work with businesses and start-ups to surpass challenges, retool goals and expectations, and develop tactical plans and implementation strategies to support organizational growth and excellence.
In an effort to provide guidance to contractors – prime and subcontractors – impacted by the Federal government shutdown, Stribling’s company, KSG Strategic Consulting, is hosting a free webinar, 6 Strategies Contractors Should Engage During the Shutdown, on Tuesday, January 15th at 11:00 a.m. ET. The webinar will focus on specific tips for those whose work and paychecks have been interrupted. From a revised approach to gaining and keeping clients in an effort to withstand unanticipated business disruptions, to engaging niche skills that support contract and overall work performance, registrants will be better positioned to navigate the fallout from the shutdown.
For companies in the DC region that rely solely on government contracting, shutdown consequences can be especially severe. “When businesses don’t have customer diversity – ongoing work that spans government, corporate and nonprofit customers - a partial shutdown can have an irreversible effect, from which some may not recover,” Stribling says.
While the online training session is mainly meant for Federal contractors, government employees are also welcome to participate. “Our goal is to present a positive approach that small businesses can use to lessen the impact of the shutdown,” Stribling concludes.
