I was so impressed with all the speakers. I really learnt a lot about the necessities required before you venture into a business. That helps a lot and with all those techniques you will never go wrong.

Thank you all

I have come away from this weekend feeling privileged, inspired, humoured and informed! The variety and combined knowledge that the speakers provided was priceless.  I gained something from almost every speaker but the stand out ones were Jac Bower, Rick Marton, Polly and Diane.

I found the frankness of the lovely lady who spoke about 'spanner in the works' to be honest and raw and very realistic - I appreciated her frankness and articulation between ideas and reality.

Jac was an amazing story - in Tasmania, single mums get a really bad wrap but Jacs inspiration showed me that being a single mum doesn't have to define you, it gives you a renewed purpose.  The fact that she created a network of friends that she was able to do a full circle to rely on when she needed it most and to succeed is a fantastic innovation!

But as always, it is Col who inspires me with his laid back yet achieveable method of delivery ! Thanks Col and Paul and all of the lovely people I met this weekend

Thanks Polly Venning for sharing your passion. Very thought provoking question what would happen if you were actively encouraging good people to leave your organisation? No one person is the sum of the organisation, no one is irreplaceable. The song 'let it go' came to mind

From a branding perspective:

“Awareness versus relevance” – Rick Marton, Effective Naturally

“Important to define what you are not” – Kath McCann, Wrest Point

And my all time favourite...

People forget what you say, may forget what you do, but NEVER forget how you make them feel – sorry, can’t remember where this pearl came from – it translates across all facets of our lives, guess that’s why it works for me :)

Ok, well maybe that boat has sailed...or it it a ship ?

What an awesome group of speakers/presenters. I couldn't possibly choose a favourite, however I am in awe - much respect to Jac Bowie for her warts and all approach.

She was entertaining, polished, professional and engaging - loved that she shared her less success experiences with us and the success that grew from those experiences.

thanks Colin and Paul for providing such a great opportunity to learn.

I took away lots of ideas.

I liked what Rick had to share - challenging us to think why cusotmers would choose you and how do we convert a customer into a believer.

I'm lookign forward to tomorrow.
