Hi.
My name is Warren Holland.
Thank you for visiting.

Would you like YOUR work to involve an idea you are passionate about?
Or YOUR business to have a website that ranks high in Search Engines and over which you have total control?
If so, I can help you build a real operational Internet Business based on YOUR passionate idea, (or for your business) in just 10 weeks!
Now that is a revolutionary idea !!
Would you like someone who can get that project started and built for you,
either Full-time or Part-time?
Either by myself from start to finish, or as a Team member, or as the Project Leader?
If so, then you are at the right place.
I like to solve problems, and to facilitate change for organisations (Projects) and individuals (their own Internet Businesses).
Project Communications is about Change
With a focus on projects, people,
education, and communications.
I enable Change in various ways:
Full-time on a project with an organisation, with
individuals as a Trainer and Educator assisting non-technical individuals to create Internet startup businesses at very low risk and either face-to-face or through
eLearning Classes.

| What excites me? | Being involved and hearing about creative ideas and people. Being able to create positive and beneficial change that benefits everyone. Being able to assist an individual to take an idea and turn it into the reality of a real Internet business. |
| What is different? | When working on projects, my approach to Change and Projects, is to complement any methodologies in use (PMbok, PRINCE for example), with focus on engaging the people involved. I work with people and ideas to bring about positive and beneficial change. |
| How do I do it? | Full-time or Part-time with an organisation on a project … As a result of a Eureka Moment I have worked with individuals as well, over the last 4 years ... …. Individuals and change in a Classroom setting …. through eLearning online with international clients. Through Publications Working with Volunteers |
Whether a process or a system uses machines, computers or some other device to accomplish its work, it is people who make it work. People are the centre of all activity in business, the community, politics, the world.
Project Communications means that people make projects work

Working Full-time or Part-Time

My Eureka Moment and Working With Individuals
My latest ventures include making use of my discovery in 1995 of the power of the Internet when I was studying with Deakin University. It was my Eureka moment. I discovered how powerful the Internet was when using it as a communication medium with Lecturers. You will have to meet me so I can express the discovery with arm waves and body language to reinforce my words. It really was a turning point.
My Eurekamoment led me to explore the nature of business on the Internet, and to appreciate its difference from a bricks-and-mortar business. This led to building a business on the Internet.
Being a keen Educator I am really excited by my eCourse that has grown from my Internet business learnings called Build a Successful Business on the Internet run at Macquarie Business Training Centre (part of Macquarie Community College) where I take individuals with a passionate interest and in 10 weeks work with them to create an operational start-up business on the Internet around that interest and includes a plan for growth and profitability. There is NOTHING like having a business built around your passion !!!
I teach this face-to-face and also via eLearning to international students.
I enjoy working with people and making a difference.
Best regards
WarrenHolland
