After the Easter hiatus followed by Anzac Day, we are back and running with events. Lately in May we have held 2 fabulous events – one in ACT, Canberra and the other in NSW, Sydney. Keep a close eye on the upcoming events planned.

9th May 2019 – Doma Hotels, ACT.

A great night out amidst the fresh snap of Winter at Hotel Realm, ACT. Members mingled and chatted whilst sipping the most incredible espresso martinis – to say there were a real hit.

Leaders want people in their organisation to trust them. But creating that trust or, perhaps more importantly, re-establishing it when they’ve lost it isn’t always that straightforward.

A major study of 87,000 business leaders, however, identified three key elements that are associated with trust.

ProTip #2 Meeting Minutes are Crucial

Do you remember what happened last week? I mean do you ”really” remember everything that happened last week? One week equals 168 hours some of which were much more important than others, some far better than others. Do you recall everything said in last weeks project meeting or only the bits you want to remember?

Meeting Minutes are not important for running a successful project they are essential.

Why? – Simple; to remind everybody involved about what was agreed, who was responsible for a certain action and what time frame they have to complete the action.

Building Resilience Capability

It's ‘normal’ or part or living to experience and face challenges in work and life.

While negative things do happen, humans also have great capacity to cope and adapt, and then even grow and thrive as a result.

The question is this: do we grow bitter or better? Do we really have a choice.

The answer is YES! But there are times when we’re really feeling the pressure of our circumstances that it may not feel or appear to be the case.

The truth is: you may not be able to control what’s happening around you, but you do have command over how you respond to what’s happening around you.
