Being perceptive means being able to spot the contradictions between someone’s words and their body language. Being charismatic means being able to tailor your approach to what you learn from these contradictions.”

Toni Fitzgerald I am master in the art of living. I draw no sharp distinction between my work and my play, my mind and my body, my education and my recreation. I hardly know which is which.

Toni Fitzgerald is a best selling author, motivational speaker, marketing expert and PR specialist and founder of charity Rights of Girls.

Within two weeks of its launch, this book shot to eight best seller lists in the United States including #1 on five lists on Amazon.

TONI’S CORE PRESENTATIONS

Corporate Motivation Toni shares her lessons on the value of connecting with both customers and perhaps, more importantly, with employees, and how savvy businesses are using this engagement to motivate their employees and foster initiative. Toni speaks from the heart about lessons learned from the challenges in her career – from sidekick to Humphrey B Bear, to national current affairs TV journalist, to high profile corporate marketing manager to the high ups and terrible downs as a business owner. The stories of her challenges during her time spent in Africa are funny, sad and inspiring all at the same time. Toni believes that the fast and changing pace of life today has left most of us not knowing who we are and what we want…and until we can connect with our own self, we cannot be happy in the job that we are doing, or the company we are working for. Toni is not just a motivational speaker, but has a strong focus on guiding you in developing, sustainable, self- perpetuating and loyal relationships with both your customers and employees. Growing Your Small Business Toni’s small business presentation is the key to unlocking the secrets of marketing for business growth in these fast-paced times. She shares with you the marketing strategies that her team is implementing for her marketing clients today. These strategies just did not exist at the end of last century, last decade … not even last year! Toni does not hold back, and will outline for you what works now with marketing for business growth. Understanding these strategies will blast you in front of your competition because most professional practices and small business owners just don’t have the time to learn and understand them. Toni proves that growing and scaling your small business is impossible if you are not putting yourself right where customers and clients are actively looking for you, and right now. Every second day you read how tough it is out there for small businesses or accountants and legal practices to grow. Every other day you read about spectacular stories of growth, and those who are growing all seem to put it down to marketing on the Internet. The number one reason small businesses fail to generate new business on the Internet is because they are marketing to those who don’t need their services. Toni says it’s because they are trying to reach the largest audience, when they really just need to reach those who need them. Right now, your new clients and customers are looking for you online. Can they find you? Or are they finding your competition? And if they find you both, which one will they choose? Toni will pin down for you the best ways to attract only those who need and want you right now. You will have a totally different understanding of how to use the Internet to grow your business. After listening to Toni, you will know low-cost, online marketing strategies that will shock and amaze you.

Sharon Pearson

Change isn’t by chance. It’s by choice.”

Sharon is regarded as one of Australasia’s leading coaching, business and leadership specialists. Through her school The Coaching Institute, she has trained more than 5,000 coaches and continues to be a driving force in the evolution of this industry. Her leadership style is dynamic, unique and undoubtedly successful both within her own organisations and those leading companies she regularly consults with. Sharon has spent years developing her own thought processes and models for learning digging ever deeper and unlocking the true potential of the human mind. She is the creator of the ultimate framework for success, Meta DynamicsTM , giving you the opportunity for the first time to replicate the extraordinary results that Sharon has achieved. Eleven years ago Sharon Pearson was at a crossroads. After years of unsuccessfully attempting to have her crime novels published, and feeling frustrated by ill health, she knew she had to make some changes. A friend suggested life coaching; she already had the ability to listen to and help her friends. She loved personal development. It was a way forward where she could actually make a difference. “As Sharon would say, never be beige; be passionate, playful and courageous.” Julie Alexander

INDUSTRY LEADER AND PIONEER IN COACHING METHODOLOGY Within 12 short months of starting her training to become a coach, Sharon had a full client list, had moved into dedicated coaching premises and was working with a wide range of clients from around the world. Training and public speaking gigs meant she was more in demand, and many coaches came to her seeking to know the ‘secret’ of her success. Sharon began to run dedicated training events for coaches looking to coach at a deeper level, and who wanted the “transformational coaching” methodology Sharon had developed through her own practice. Within a short time, Sharon Pearson and Associates became The Coaching Institute (TCI), delivering coaching training for people throughout Australia and Asia. The focus was on the transformational model she had developed as a coach, which meant students were trained in how to go beyond the surface level problems, and to provide coaching which restored the potential of the client so they could move forward.

Dr. Neryl East

Stand out for the right reasons!”

Dr Neryl East is an authority on reputation, and how you and your team can stand out for the right reasons in today’s reputation-driven economy. After a long career in the media spanning television, radio and newspapers, Neryl spent many years working with organisations that found themselves in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Calling on her services once the damage was done was a little like summoning the paramedics when the situation was already too late! Neryl now shows leaders how to build great business reputations from the inside out – zapping negative issues before they escalate, and developing their team as reputation ambassadors. Speaking at conferences around the world, Neryl inspires and motivates participants to think differently about their role – regardless of what’s in their job description. Audiences come away with specific tools they can put into practice straight away, elevating their own skills and the “reputation capital” of their organisations. A highly skilled and experienced educator and trainer, Neryl doesn’t just give you the “froth and bubble” that dissolves as soon as the conference is over. She weaves compelling stories into powerful messages that provide a concrete platform for positive change – with plenty of laughs along the way to keep everyone engaged. With more than 30 years of experience as a professional communicator, Neryl is one of very few people in Australia with a PhD in Journalism and is also the winner of national journalism awards. She has managed diverse issues in both the public and private sectors – including the fall-out from one of Australia’s biggest corruption scandals - and has authored books on communication and change. Neryl is a sought-after adviser to business, government and not-for-profit leaders.

26 Dr. Neryl East

NERYL HAS TWO MAIN KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS:

1. Stand Out for the Right Reasons in the Social Media Age As an organisational leader, do you worry your business could be exposed to negative comments on social media because of disgruntled customers or poor communication? Do your staff members have all the skills they need to make sure that doesn’t happen? And if it does happen...what then? We’re living in a game-changer era – and it goes far beyond having access to social media tools. It’s the deeper impact those sites are having on the core of our business that’s really created the shift. Research shows “regular employees” are now perceived as a highly credible source of information about a business, while the credibility of the boss has taken a nosedive. Everyone in your business has a new and critical role to play. Whether they know it or not, your team is a potent reputation weapon with a profound effect on how others perceive the business and what they say to their networks about you. To make it in today’s reputation-driven economy, savvy businesses are harnessing the power of their staff; transforming them into superior communicators with a clear understanding of their “higher purpose” in the organisation. Neryl draws on colourful stories from her media career in this entertaining and inspiring presentation that changes how employees see themselves in the business – regardless of their role. What you’ll learn: Why a great reputation is also great for everyone in the business Why the power is now in your hands (and how to use it for good, not evil!) Four things you can do to build “reputation capital” in yourself, your team and your whole organisation How to make every interaction build your reputation bank

Perfect for: Managers, team leaders and employees at any level in a business or organisation. Group size: Unlimited

27 MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS AUSTRALIA

2. Survive and Thrive in the Reputation Economy Are you constantly “fighting fires” that distract you from your main game? Most business leaders are. Every day they face issues that could escalate into crises. What if your organisation or business could get on the front foot, identifying and solving issues before they grow into big headaches? You can – and in fact, it’s critical that you do. We’re operating in the Reputation Economy, where people instantly judge your organisation on what they’ve heard about you, rather than on what you actually do. In these days of instant global communication, one public slip-up can equal catastrophe. After this presentation, you’ll be motivated and armed with practical tools to build reputation capital and make a positive difference in your organisation now. What you’ll learn:

The new landscape: four key skills every organisation now needs to thrive How to move away from “spin” and build reputation from the inside out The high price when an issue spirals into a crisis in today’s social media age — and how to make sure that never happens to you. Neryl uses her own reputation assessment tool, to help participants diagnose their reputation issues and come away with actions they can immediately put into practice. Perfect for: managers, leaders, industry associations, professional bodies, communication and HR professionals. Group size: Unlimited

Reasons to book Neryl for your conference or event

She’s an absolute expert on reputation, media and communication – with the degrees and track record to prove it. She has formal qualifications as an educator – she doesn’t deliver empty words She’s highly entertaining and engaging – you’ll enjoy plenty of “war stories” from media issues that went horribly wrong. She’s versatile – whether you want a keynote, a break-out, a workshop or an MC, she fits the bill in every format.

“The feedback I’ve received from everyone about both your workshops and your involvement in our program has been excellent. You have exceeded our expectations – 10/10!” Peter Acheson CEO, Peoplebank Australia

ANTHONY’S FEATURE PRESENTATION:

Brain Blinkers

Anthony’s feature keynote Brain Blinkers – now available as a book – has toured around Australia and the globe, to over 25,000 people in five continents. The Brain Blinkers workshop will leave participants motivated and inspired to make positive change in their lives, and to help open their eyes and minds to possibilities and opportunities that may have been hiding until now. Anthony helps participants recognize and remove the three key mental barriers to high performance and success – limiting beliefs, negative thoughts and fear – and provides the tools to keep the learning real, practical and relevant for the long term in both a personal and professional context. Anthony uses principles of behavioural psychology to eloquently educate and entertain delegates. In the half-day version of the Brain Blinkers program, Anthony proves the concept and message by getting delegates involved in pastel sketching. At first, delegates do not believe they are capable of creating a specific sketch within 60 minutes, but as they listen to Anthony’s instructions and learn techniques, methods and processes used throughout the ages by artists around the world, they quickly prove themselves wrong. The end result is a personal masterpiece that surprises the delegate, and remains as irrefutable proof that we can change the way we think and what we believe and make a substantial impact on our outcomes.

TRUST – The Forgotten Value Trust has enormous impact on our results, relationships and retention of good staff. This unique workshop deep-dives into a hands-on definition of trust, exploring the consequences of when trust is broken and helping participants build trust in their professional and personal lives with the help of a novel implementation tool.

ACCESS 2 SUCCESS: How to Perform at Maximum Potential In his Access 2 Success presentation, Dr. Mike shows the link between being in optimal health and performing at maximum potential while proposing a simple Action Plan. 2 Conventions, training sessions, seminars, books, audio, podcasts, conference calls, webinars, mentors, coaches, etc., will all sharpen your skills and contribute to your success. Self-development and acquiring more knowledge about time management, people skills, customer service, closing the deal, following up with prospects, leadership, setting up successful events, etc., is indispensable to success. However, without optimal health, one will never perform at maximum potential. How can you work hard when fatigued, drained, stressed and out of shape? How can you focus and be effective at the tasks at hand without a clear mind? How can you be passionate when low on energy? How can you be a leader when weak? How can you be a team player when in ill health? How can you perform at maximum potential when not in optimal health? You simply cannot! Dr. Mike shows you HOW to regain control of your health and perform at maximum potential. He clears up the many confusions and misconceptions about health and proposes a user-friendly action plan.

“It’s simply amazing how Dr. Mike sheds a light on what health REALLY is, and how he communicates this incredible, important message to his audience. You will absolutely love this experience!” Dr. Greg Carder, member, American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

Word-of-mouth advertising 3 is still the most powerful and most effective way to increase business. In the words of Jeffrey Gitomer: “A satisfied customer shops everywhere; a loyal customer only shops at your place.” And loyal customers will give you referral business. This concept is not new, but how do we put a system in place and monitor the success of this system? Dr. Mike elaborates on his easy-to-implement system that boosts profits through the attraction of new customers and the high retention of established customers. In his Creating Customer Loyalty presentation, Dr. Mike interacts with the audience and performs role-playing to emphasize certain key points, in a very fun and entertaining manner.

Sales in the Information Age: Get Control Back With the advent of the internet and the constant bombardment of advertising, marketing calls and spam emails, customers’ attitudes towards salespeople have changed drastically. It is time to take our understanding of the psychology of sales to the next level and learn to appreciate the often irrational thought patterns that lead people to purchase. This presentation empowers all sales and service staff with new skills that will enable them to understand, and meet, the needs of the modern day customer.

Convert Your Sales Potential: Stop Working for Free The vast majority of sales consultants have the potential to generate far greater sales than they are currently achieving based on existing levels of enquiry. By showing sales forces how much work they are doing for free, examining their “unconversion rate”, and empowering them to convert a greater level of enquiry into business, this presentation is guaranteed to motivate every salesperson to achieve more.

It is insane to think the old sales steps and processes still work when the market has change so significantly. Success belongs to those who have the courage and passion to play a new game.”

Turn Your ‘Shop’ into a ‘Business’: Create Accountability This practical presentation outlines the strategies and approaches that create a high performance culture and a motivated team of people who are accountable for their own contribution to the bottom line. Leaders of all levels will leave with a renewed energy and passion to run a profitable business. They will know what needs to be done in order to capitalise on the existing talent in their team, and will understand how to nip underperformance in the bud.

Build Strong Relationships with DISC In this highly interactive and incredibly entertaining training, delegates will learn how to build and maintain strong relationships by learning how to read the behaviours of those they interact with, understand their basic needs and respect why they behave the way they do. If you want your staff to work as a team, have self-awareness, be conscious of the effects of their behaviours on others, and be able to build trust with clients and colleagues, DISC is for you.

Productive Habitudes A blend of productive habits and attitudes are critical to the success of an individual, the sustainability of a business and the achievement of goals. Meg outlines the three simple tools needed to gain greater control, create effective habits, develop stronger self-discipline and ultimately manage time more productively.

Maintaining Motivation Motivation is the desire to achieve things. It’s the difference between waking up before dawn to pound the pavement and lazing about the house all day; and the difference between picking up the phone to call a prospect and going to boil the kettle. It is the crucial element in setting and attaining goals, and is considered the foundation of long term success. Meg will show you how to influence your own levels of motivation and self-control, give you strategies to help power through the pain period, and enable you to start kicking some serious goals.

The Elevation Company

We help people discover and express the truth of who they are and embrace the difference they were born to make.”

Heather Yelland and the team at The Elevation Company are dedicated to growing people – children, adults and businesses. They inspire people to discover their truth, build camaraderie, uncover their unique inspiration and create greater connection to themselves and others. Heather’s personal growth programmes enable people to reconnect with their hearts so they can find and walk their true path in life. This work results in children who believe in themselves, engaged and inspired adults and thriving and innovative businesses. People are at the heart of every business and they are by nature emotional beings - each with their own drive and sense of purpose. It’s identifying the individual’s ‘purpose’ and harnessing their emotional capacity that is at the core of Heather’s work, and has businesses report an increase in cooperation, cohesion and productivity that was previously not thought possible. With formal training in psychology, family and systems theory and business, Heather has been a ‘people’ specialist for over 30 years. Her ability to get to the heart of what drives and motivates people, what limits them and prevents them from realising their fullest potential has been the foundation of her work in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the USA and Asia. She is a humorous, energetic, powerful, inspirational, challenging, insightful, intuitive, and concise speaker and facilitator. She has that unique ability to engage with individuals in the context of a large group as well as addressing the needs of the group as a whole. Heather also has enormous respect for the importance of structure and clear process and blends this elegantly with a capacity to work with the fluid dynamic of each unique group. While most workplace change and leadership development specialists seek to have everyone ‘one the same page’, Heather’s fundamental belief is that this ‘same page’ philosophy is a fast track to the death of innovation and true personal growth. What is sought instead is for each person to understand their own unique ‘page’ and how this contributes to the overall growth, cohesion and productivity of the organisation. Working to each individual’s unique point of inspiration is key!

Rhiannon Rees

Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life!”

(B.Bus, D.C.H, H.M.C, R.S. Hom) Business Coach. Ranked 1st Best Business Coach in the World 2010

The achievements carved into the belt of Rhiannon Rees, are stand alone sensational. She is renowned as one of the world’s best self-development experts, often referred to as Australia’s answer to US self- help guru DR Wayne W Dyer. The best selling success of her first book, How to Climb Mount Everest in Sandals — The Courage to Live an Ordinary Life, (the startling tale of her own life-journey) has led to the imminent release of her second book, out in 2015. Rhiannon is not just about achievements though. It’s also about who she is and where’s she’s come from. In telling her own story, Rhiannon generously and purposefully shares, “I lost my innocence through child sexual abuse, lost contact with my mother for most of my childhood, lost my brother to suicide, lost five babies to miscarriage, lost all my money, lost my husband to his other identity as a woman, and even lost the roof over my head and became homeless. Each of these losses carved deeply into my soul and I thought I would not survive.” But she did. Not just survive, Rhiannon soared.

In 2010 and 2011 she was nominated for Telstra’s Business Woman of the Year. She was a finalist in the Asia Pacific Coach of the Year 2011 and winner of the Global “Action Man” award in Barcelona 2010, for outstanding work as a Business Coach. She was a nominee for Entrepreneur of the Year in 2010 and Runner-up in NSW for “Franchise Woman of the Year” Australia, 2010 — a far cry from the shy, quiet child she once was growing up in the small town of Cudgen, NSW. The Spice Girls, as well as X-Files, Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice cast members, the NRL Roosters and winners of the ABC Farmer’s of the Year 2014 – “the Conscious Farmer” have all had the inspiration and clarity of Rhiannon in their face and at their side. She has been featured in countless TV and Radio shows and in print publications both in Australia and North America. In these, she recounts her life as a homeless single mother and the steps she made to build health, wealth and happiness; inspiring and helping others to live the life of their dreams.

58 Rhiannon Rees

Through the wisdom of experience Rhiannon has developed a highly, calibrated radar to negative conditioning. This heightened awareness to detect obstacles to success, combined with a ferocious intention to pull people out of their pain patterns, has enabled Rhiannon to fearlessly and compassionately tear down self-constructed blockades standing in the way of a better existence. During her unmeasurably tough years, Rhiannon analysed everything; immersing herself in self- knowledge to advance spiritually and to gain insight into getting the most out of life. Yet all the books she read focussed on achieving the peaks, getting to the top of the mountain ahead of everyone else. No one talked about the value of “being”; the simple satisfaction of being born, going to school, having a job, getting married, having kids and growing old. Rhiannon began to think that perhaps these seemingly small goals were not as ordinary as first thought. Her penny-drop moment, which pulled her out of homeless life in a tent with a small child in tow, was in looking at life a little differently – beginning to see that what was too often considered ordinary, was in fact extraordinary. She began a life of gratitude and from that gratitude, greatness flourished. The fire from her story is still feeding today, the courage to facilitate monumental changes both in herself, as well as in so many others - individuals and businesses alike. In the same way that she did herself, Rhiannon will make you question everything that you believe to be beyond your control. She will encourage you to think about the changes you can make that will extend and flourish into every recess of your life, providing the foothold to a more successful and fulfilling future. The topics Rhiannon covers in her captivating speaking engagements, include building business and personal wealth, personal development and human behaviour, goal setting, overcoming obstacles in business and personal life, business coaching, creating success, relationships, love, harmony, health, happiness, alternative medicine, human resources and more. In sharing her own story, Rhiannon is able to uplift and empower audiences to really dive into their own. Encouraging and assisting them to deconstruct and rebuild: creating possibilities to turn villages into empires. RHIANNON’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER TOPICS

IGNITE THE PASSION WITHIN All about finding the number one most important tool to success - your true self and your true purpose.

Through this new knowledge of self, Rhiannon teaches to embrace all that’s been given to you, while graciously harnessing opportunities through new eyes that no longer see the world simply the “same as it always was.” In translating these techniques to her work with elite athletes, Rhiannon has enabled enormously talented people to unlock the full potential of all the skill, training and abundant resources at their fingertips: by tackling head on the greatest key to all success, MINDSET. She’s taught them that if they want to differentiate themselves from their competitors they need to be more than diet, practice and mechanics - they need to remove the things that dampen the full roar of fire in their belly. With laser like accuracy, Rhiannon is able to point out where these self-limiting beliefs lie and show them HOW to transform these ‘beliefs of restraint’ into winning results.

59 MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS AUSTRALIA

When the captains of two teams were interviewed after the Grand Final game of the season the losing captain said ‘We knew it would be tough.” while the winning team’s captain who was jointly coached by Rhiannon said, “We went into this match to win it.” And win they did! The outcome that you achieve can be the result of the thoughts you continuously have.

YOU MUST WORK HARDER TO MAKE MORE MONEY – TRUE OR FALSE? Undoubtedly a myth, but if it’s a myth you grew up with, then most likely you believe it to be true. This discussion begins to dismantle the myth that caps wealth and substitutes it instead with a plethora of possibilities for creating it. When Rhiannon was living in a tent, she was making on average $500 a month for twelve years. She had limited belief in what she could achieve from the challenging space she was in and in her wildest imagination she did not think she could make more money than what she was. But then one night, crying herself to sleep, she asked herself a simple but life-changing question, “If I could make ANY AMOUNT of money in the world in a month, how much would I like to make so that I NEVER EVER, EVER HAD TO LIVE LIKE THIS AGAIN?” Her humble answer at the time was $40,000 in a month! Within eighteen months Rhiannon increased her income more than 81 TIMES!! AN INCREASE OF 8162% to reach the goal that she had set for herself just a year and a half before!! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? Rhiannon will discuss in detail HOW to do this and HOW this can happen FOR YOU!!

HOW CAN YOU SEE OPPORTUNITIES WHEN ALL YOU SEE IS SAMENESS? In this discussion Rhiannon shares details of a fundamental shift in perspective, which will allow you to see opportunities, where all you saw previously were problems. She will provide you with ideas that will transform your mindset, your business and your thinking, to create the life you’ve always dreamed of. Utilising examples from past and current clients, Rhiannon will open YOUR LIFE and reveal where your THOUGHTS ARE LIMITING YOUR RESULTS. THEN she’ll show you how to use those areas of limitation as doorways to opportunity. To give you an example, one Agri-business that Rhiannon visited, had quite large overheads and was having to employ contract labour at various times of the year to make sure that demand for services could be met. The Agri-business dealt with perishable products and therefore seasonal labour was required to harvest during the busy periods. When Rhiannon realised that these labourers were costing anywhere up to $20,000 a month, her thought was, “How can we not only eradicate this cost but also create further benefit?” She came up with the strategy of building a training school, inviting people to learn these tasks at a cost and then over time, keeping the best students to fulfill the jobs on the farm. Not only could they train the best students to become the best contractors but the wages of this labour, came out of the students fees. That got rid of the $20,000 a month bill as well as improving the quality of their workforce – paying nothing and gaining more!! Rhiannon will not just aid in solutions but also provide the best foundation moving forward by helping you to see what’s been stopping you from recognizing the opportunities that are abundant in your business.

60 Rhiannon Rees

HEART-CENTRED ENTREPRENEURSHIP What does it mean to be a heart-centred entrepreneur? How can it make a difference to your business and your life, as well as deeply satisfy your need for contribution? Why is this so very important? In this discussion Rhiannon engages participants in a very authentic process of discovery.

TESTIMONIALS She honed in with laser beam focus on what was holding me back, masterfully helped me to release it (and) move confidently towards achieving my wildest dreams.

Social Media - Facebook

Facebook Ads: Secrets to generating clients on demand Keeping up with Facebook … why it’s not just about your ‘Likes’ With over a billion monthly active users, Facebook is the biggest social media platform and the second most visited website on the internet. The Facebook audience size along with the ability to create hyper targeted ads makes it one of the best online advertising mediums for B2C and even B2B. Facebook allows advertisers to target a specific group of people based on demographics and interests. The recent enhancements also mean advertisers can create custom audiences, re-target to their web traffic and advertise based on specific keyword mentions. Facebook ads are more flexible and often cheaper than Google AdWords and offer heightened audience engagement. There are some tip and tricks you can adopt to turn Facebook into a lead generation machine where you can literally generate clients on demand.

Video Marketing

Video Marketing – the good, the bad and the ugly … how to get it right Explainer videos – how smart companies are turning their websites into selling machines YouTube Ads – how to dominate your industry and get a tonne of traffic from 5c per click If you’re not doing videos you’re sending your prospects to your competitors. Video content is no longer ‘nice to have’ but an absolute must. YouTube is the number two search engine in the world and is set to become the most important medium for business. Prospects are also 85% more likely to buy when they watch a video. Youtube is also one of the cheapest ways of generating targeted traffic to your website. You also have the ability to repurpose videos across all other platforms, thereby enhancing all of your communications strategies. Most businesses aren’t currently doing videos well. Badly done videos can do more harm than good. There are simple tactics and stealth video marketing strategies that businesses can adopt to dominate their market. Content Marketing

Gone in 5 seconds – why compelling and engaging content is the only way User Experience – the key to updating your website to the 21st Century In an era of information overload and short attention spans, consumers are savvier than ever and it’s a challenge for any business to stand out from the crowd. Consumers are no longer happy just being ‘sold to’ - they want useful information that demonstrates you understand their needs and will help them achieve their goals. Boring and outdated websites will send your visitors straight to your competitors. Not only that, any money spent on generating traffic will be completely wasted if your website fails to convert your visitors into buyers. Your web content and email campaigns need to engage, educate, entertain and inspire before starting your sales process. Strategic Alliances

Harnessing the Power of Strategic Alliances … the Fastest Path to Business Growth Forming strategic alliances is the fasted way to grow a business. Finding the right business partners is one of the most important steps as many strategic partnerships fail in the first year. The structure of strategic alliances is also essential as a foundation. This presentation explores the best strategies to employ and the pitfalls to avoid in order to ensure a successful partnership.

Social Giving

How the power of giving can boost your brand and increase your revenue When companies adopt a corporate giving plan, they not only offer meaningful involvement in their community, they also stand out from their competitors. The benefits of social giving include customer loyalty, happier employees, positive brand awareness, free PR, and ultimately a boost to profits. Studies show that consumers now consider a company’s social responsibility when deciding which products or services to buy and where to shop. They are also less likely to price shop if a company has linked a portion of their profits to a cause or charity. Forms of social giving can include donations, volunteering and sponsoring events. Smart companies are donating a percentage of their annual profits to a charity or cause related to their industry as well as supporting local community initiatives.

SPECIALTIES

1. Vision: I have a 20+ year history of inventing products and services that bridge technology and marketing and solve complex business problems that are two to four years ahead of their time for over 20 years.

2. Quick-Start, 100 Days from Idea to Launch: Over the six years, I’ve gone from “Idea to Bank Account” by turning ideas into products, producing a launch and generating $1.2mm-$9.1mm in sales in under 100 days twelve times in a row. My KOLBE is 5294.

3. $1 Million+ per Day Direct to Camera Sales: Imagine combining TED + PBS + Home Shopping Network without the “yuck” - like an interactive, online infomercial. Are you old enough to remember the “Jerry Lewis Telethons”? I have a unique skillset of being able to present direct to camera and sell just about any product or service in an entertaining, educational format that produces a minimum of $100 to as high as $1,272 per viewer for as long as 12 hours without breaks.

4. Results-based Teaching: Simplifying the Complex - I bridge the gap between tech, marketing and implementation. I was a classic ADHD, C- student who hated school and sat in the “dumb kid classes.” After barely passing high school, I learned that I am a kinesthetic learner, and had to teach myself how to think, learn and store information in unusual ways. As a result, I’m intuitive and able to teach others with a variety of modalities to rapidly implement and get results. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve taught hundreds of thousands of people how to write books, create products, make videos, online TV or radio shows and podcasts and start businesses in a few days to a few months.

5. Extracting Genius Knowledge and Experience with Interviews: I love interesting, complex, and “wicked smart” people with big ideas who want to change the world. In 30-60 minute interviews, I “extract” just about anyone’s core genius, specialized knowledge, their “why” and “how” they do what they do and “re- teach” that information to an audience that’s both entertaining and engaging.

Daniel Merza

Get the monkeys off your back so you can live up to your full potential.”

Breaking the mould, Daniel is a dynamic and engaging speaker who delivers high energy presentations that educate, empower and inspire individuals towards achieving success and significance in their professional and personal lives. Born to immigrant parents, Daniel’s resilience was tested from day one. Having escaped death at birth, Daniel was a victim of bullying for most of his school life. On many occasions, Daniel was mislabeled as a young man with “no hope”. While these labels were damaging to his self-esteem, they did not break his resolve. Though battered and bruised for many years, Daniel remained resilient. In his final year of school, Daniel broke through his personal, academic and social barriers to achieve exceptional academic results, including being listed in the Top 10% of Australia, defying all odds. A Chartered Accountant at 23, Daniel has worked with some of Australia’s largest accounting firms in senior management roles. While Daniel has achieved great success in his career, it was preceded by many failures, which is why his speaking messages to others are focused on using failure and adversity as fuel for growth and future success. Despite his corporate success, Daniel knew deep down that his life carried a much greater purpose. As a result, Daniel entered the professional speaking arena. Daniel delivers presentations in the areas of health and personal and professional development. Having spoken and inspired hundreds of people, Daniel’s core message to others is to “get the monkeys off your back” just like he was able to, and is passionate about helping people break through their barriers so they can “live up to their full potential”.

“Hands down, Daniel has and will always be my first choice when I require a professional Master of Ceremonies. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Daniel on several occasions. He possesses the unique ability to instantly connect and effectively engage with any audience that he speaks to, creating the energy and atmosphere required to leave guests with an unforgettable experience.

She conveys incredible wisdom from her life experience and having helped people work through areas of challenge around money to make new decisions. She also teaches effective tools that create clarity and movement towards financial goals. She perhaps comes from a place where no other speaker on this topic dares: not from having amassed a fortune, but from being on the journey moving towards her own financial dreams, finding her peace with where she is at and helping others along their paths with powerful strategies. In her talks she shares her experiences of having had dreams, marched towards them, failed or succeeded, let go them go, re- calibrated, created a new vision and repeated. Along the way, she also learned from the best experts in personal growth and wealth creation, such as Julio De Laffitte, the founder of JDL Strategies, Dr. John DeMartini, Byron Katie and Joanne Van Ravennswaaji. “There is creative tension between the life you are living and the life you want to live. The trick to enjoying the journey from ‘A’ to ‘B’, that I love sharing as a Speaker, is the dance of balance: walking towards your goals and appreciating your current position, all while keeping the momentum of hope, faith and action. This is one of the beautiful rhythms of life that people often don’t allow themselves to move to.” She is a master of the craft of inviting people to this dance, by engaging them in exciting new perspectives about their own lives and their financial position… And, if they are ready, she shares a system that gets them quicker to their point ‘B’.

124 Pat Grosse

Anything is possible with the right motivation, passion and leadership. From grass roots upwards, a little inspiration goes a long way.”

Having worked for 10 years in a team charged with earning their salaries two years in advance in order to stay employed, Pat has developed an entrepreneurial streak that she now uses to motivate not-for- profits to step outside of their everyday spaces and to think and plan to take their businesses to the next level. Pat works with the whole organisation to remove blockages and create sustainable change. Pat has spoken to a variety of audiences, incorporating examples of client achievements to illustrate what they too can achieve. Pat is also known as a million dollar grant writer by successfully working with clients to improve grants success. Pat’s topics:

Pat knows how not-for-profits work. She uses this knowledge and experience to deliver practical examples, real world references and inspirational messages across a range of topics that impact on the business and the environment you work in. Through her presentations and workshops, she will help to create a mental shift to get you to think beyond the busy-ness of the everyday working environment Governance, project management, funding, planning — these are examples of skills and techniques Pat delivers that can be applied in all not-for-profit organisations and beyond. Books:

Pat is writing a series of training guides. Currently available: Grant Writing Success

Pat worked for a leading provider of professional development programs in the UK for ten years before taking up a role in Australia where she held a white hat auditor role, monitoring not-for-profits for a funding body and seeking out opportunities to guide them through change. In 2010, she stepped out of the role to use her skills to mentor and support organisations to adapt and grow.

125 MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS AUSTRALIA

She works with not-for-profit Boards and managers to redefine their business and connect them with the communities they serve. She has written guides on grant writing, governance, project management and working in partnerships and continues to develop her portfolio of practical resources. Pat works with the whole organisation to remove blockages and create sustainable change. Pat has spoken to a variety of audiences, incorporating examples of client achievements to illustrate what they too can achieve. Pat is also known as a million dollar grant writer by successfully working with clients to improve grants success. EXAMPLES OF PRESENTATIONS

Where does it say that being a not-for-profit means that you can’t make a profit? In this presentation she will explore the not-for-profit mindset. What is it in the culture of organisations that prevents so many from thinking like a business? Where do values and behaviours contradict with good business practice? Who’s really running the show? What will it take to get over the sentiment and breathe longevity into the organisation? These questions are based on observations from working with close to a hundred not for profits and how a change in thinking at the right level has led to radical shifts in organisational viability,

Walk the Talk – don’t expect them to come to you Being relevant and front of mind of your community is essential for any business. So why do so many not-for-profits fail to practice this fundamental benchmark for success? Why does ‘the field of dreams’ come to mind when it comes to promotion? Do you know if your community really understands what you do and if not, why not? Are you leaving business on the table when the client walks out the door? This presentation explores the marketing essentials for not-for-profits who want to strengthen their position in the community. Pat will reveal what strategies must be part of your business plan, ways to attract the interest of your community and why this is only the beginning when they walk in the door.

Getting into bed with the right partners (Based on the guide – Navigating Community Partnerships) Ten minutes after walking into a meeting, Pat made an observation that she passed on to the client – there was already a dissenter in the room. This was a meeting about a potential three-way merger. After telling her she was wrong, the client rang her a couple of weeks later and asked her how did she know? For Pat, the signs were there; signs she’d learned from experience of partnerships ranging from long- term success to absolute disaster. In this presentation Pat will reveal the tell tale messages to look for when two or more organisations partner for anything from a short term project to longer term collaboration and even mergers. She will explain why it’s important to get the governance model right from the word go, why understanding the dynamics of your partnership model is essential and how to spot the weak links. She will provide real life case studies and planning tips to prevent your partnership projects from falling over.

126 Pat Grosse

PRESENTATIONS AND WORKSHOPS

Pat can do presentations and workshops on the following topics:

Grant writing for success Pat’s been on both sides of the funding fence in two countries and has even been known to attract more funding than the funding application requested. She will reveal the essentials of grant writing, the costly mistakes people make and what funding bodies are looking for. This is based on her guide and ebook Grant Writing for Success

Show me the Evidence Data. It’s everywhere. So why are not-for-profits so often not able to build a business case based on solid evidence of need? Much of what they do leads to change for individuals. How do you measure the success of an intangible outcome? These are questions Pat faced in her role with a funding body. Pat will reveal how the right evidence of need makes the difference between project success and failure and how just about anything can be measured. She will talk about why it’s important to evaluate every project every time and why the value of the evidence gathered should not be buried as an end of project reporting requirement.

Managing community projects Pat delivers workshops and presentations on project management. These are practical based, taking the learner through scenarios based on real life examples from the start of the project through to project completion.

Getting into bed with the right partners Working with other organisations seems like a great at the time. Things go well for a while, but then the problems start – miscommunication, changes in priorities, personalities, unmet expectations. How do you plan to reduce the risk of what can lead to long term damage? Pat has developed a partnership planning system built on years of experience and which actually works. This system has been developed into a valuable training program for any organisation thinking about launching into a partnership.

128 Glenn Korn

Anyone is eligible to enroll in ‘The School of Prior Learning’, the cost of education is ‘always’ cheaper than the price of ignorance.”

Glenn Korn, also known as “The Coach,” is the Founder and Managing Director of Korn Corp Consulting, a results-based financial consulting company. Glenn has spent the last 25 years working with numerous clients in more than 57 industries nation-wide. Glenn has dealt with almost every imaginable investment, superannuation, and retirement challenge with an uncanny ability to increase his clients’ wealth by uncovering hidden strategies and undervalued possibilities. He has realised that while most financial industries only employ one particular research approach there are many more effective and profitable strategies available. Glenn shows his clients how to take different investment concepts from different strategies and adapt them to their specific investment situation. His energy and vision has earned him the reputation as one of Australia’s most trusted financial planners. His clients range from retirees, investors, and small business owners to CEOS, pre-eminent fund managers, and corporations but all his clients have one thing in common — virtually all have profited from his expertise. Glenn is credited by a number of clients for facilitating profit increases in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. He has been instrumental in raising investment performance even while working within adverse financial environments, such as the recent worldwide global financial crisis. Financial coaching is different.

It focuses on your education, growth and your decision process so that you master wealth building skills. Our unique coaching business model is all about helping you build wealth in the first place. You remain in control by learning how to manage your money smarter and make better informed investment decisions. The difference between financial advice and financial coaching, is that financial coaching still pays attention to wealth creation and retirement planning side of the business, it is just approached in a different way. In financial coaching, the focus is more on education, information strategies and risk management so that you can make your own, independent investment decisions. Your personal financial coach will never provide a specific asset allocation recommendation, but your coach will educate you about the details you need to know about asset allocation so that you can independently make an appropriate decision for yourself.

129 MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS AUSTRALIA

In summary, a personal financial coach always focuses on you, your education and the decision process as well as overcoming any obstacles that are keeping you from reaching your financial goals. Traditional financial advice has failed to some extent, and the statistics prove it. Financial coaching has developed for one main reason, because it is necessary. According to The Retirement Planning Association, more than 97% of people not only lost money in their personal wealth and retirement funds in the recent Global Financial Crisis, but are also failing to retire with financial security. Another leading group, The SMSF Association came to almost same identical conclusions. According to the same research, Australia’s personal savings rate had declined to around only 1% and was at the lowest rate since the Great Depression of the 1930’s. If traditional financial advice was adequate then these statistics wouldn’t exist, but they do. These facts are undeniable. People are getting left behind by a financial system that is complex and changing rapidly. Traditional financial advice has not satisfied people’s needs to make smart decisions and the results prove it. A new alternative is required, and that alternative is financial coaching. The financial advice system has been built on a business model that profits from the wealth that people have already accumulated. The problem is that’s not what most people seeking to build wealth and plan for their future retirement need. Most people want help and assistance in accumulating the wealth in the first place.

Gary Jeffress AdvDipBus

It’s not who you are that’s holding you back... It’s who you THINK you’re NOT!”

The first sale in his start-up business was for $28 and the first month sales totaled $705. That ‘toilet paper’ guy sold that same company a decade later with a $3.3 mill turnover. Now he teaches Entrepreneurs how to build a passive wealth portfolio through fully managed established businesses. Gary Jeffress started a ‘toilet paper’ business from a spare bedroom in 1996. In 2007 he sold that business with an annual turnover of $3.3 mill. Along the way FEAR saw him purchase two other fully managed businesses in a completely different industry. Both those small businesses gave him a nett income of over $1,000 per week, and he didn’t work in them. For the past decade Gary has been buying established businesses and building them for sale or keeping them for a residual income. YES he invests in BOTH property and the stock market, yet believes he can ‘make a difference’ in people lives by teaching, employing and devloping his businesses, instead of waiting fior the market to boom or bust in the share or property markets. A near fatal car accident in 1999 saw a massive change in Gary’s business thinking and another one in 2001 made Gary determined to share with people that planning for the future starts today, not tomorrow or ‘someday’. He started a business college until beaurocracy hurdles made progress unworkable. He now speaks around the country to entrepreneurs about getting into established, fully managed businesses and adding their expertise, NOT their labour to make a difference in people’s lives, regardless of the industry. He is known as The M.A.D. G.U.Y. because he truly believes that education and empowerment can help people move out of their comfort zone and get them to move the mountains so many want to move. His success with students buying businesses from being retrenched, or desperation to move from a job, or unemployment or an addition to a portfolio can be viewed on his website and heard in his podcasts. His record speaks for itself and doesn’t come from reading a book. It comes from success and challenges that have been experienced. Gary also runs a school program for grades 10-12 with kids about them simulating a business they create and have success with. It’s been adopted in a number of schools and has been very rewarding and well accepted.

136 Gary Jeffress

Networking groups, start-up groups and education institutions channel their events and courses towards gaining qualifications so people can inevitably get themselves a JOB, or at best consider starting their own business. What most individuals don’t realise is that there are so many incredible opportunities in established businesses that become dormant and go on the market for sale. Companies acquire their competitors by ‘doing’ exactly what Gary teaches individuals to do. Take the skills you already have and install your culture into a fully-managed operating business that has long term clients, staff and cashflow. Watch that business grow without you being there 24/7 and you can keep it for the income OR FLIP-IT in 3 years. SPEAKING TOPICS:

Tragedy to Triumph Surviving 2 near death car crashes is one thing. Taking a ‘start-up’ to multi-million dollar status is another. Perhaps the greatest success is keeping a marriage alive and healthy for 30 years and raising an independent daughter and a ‘gay’ son. Let me tell you which part is successful.

Using ‘BENCHMARK ENVY’ as a success tool Because we can only see in others what already exists inside of us, we can utilise that curiosity and soft envy to set our own high standards and copy what we believe a friend or competitor is doing to gain success in their business. There is nothing unprofessional about striving for what we believe another organisation or individual has achieved.

Adversity is inevitable part of business How you deal with that adversity is the measurement that will lead to the success you desire. Out of such adversity often comes amazing opportunities, if you look for them.

Wealth is a ‘Business’ Being in business can give people a helpful step-up to wealth in many areas of their life. Many millionaires have found that money is easy to make AND easy to lose. Being financially wealthy is a ‘Business’ in itself. That’s if you want to keep a consistent income over a long period.

Fiona Krautil, CAHRI

Diverse workplaces lead to smarter, better, improved performance and all the research proves it. Let me show you how to harness diversity to improve your business bottom-line.”

Award-winning change leader Fiona Krautil is a diversity and gender equity expert.

With experience of leading change in corporate, academic, non-profit and Government corporations, Fiona consistently challenges leadership thinking and provides both provoking and practical advice to galvanise audiences and help realise the potential of increasingly diverse workforces across the globe. Living and breathing the issues of diversity, gender equity and workplace inclusion, this former CEO of Australia’s Federal Government gender equity unit is a passionate speaker, author, trainer and mentor. She understands profoundly the business drivers of globalisation; changing workforce demographics; and the increasing competitiveness of the marketplace. With a track record in change leadership across both commercial and non-commercial sectors, Fiona helps influence and shape workplace cultures so all talent can feel included, and thrive. Fiona is also the author of two tomes on equity and diversity. Diversity Unplugged (AHRI, 2014) offers inspiring exemplars from medium and large Australian organisations and is a vital tool for business success. Her previous book in the same mould, Chief Executives Unplugged (EOWA, 2002) is a significant contribution to the gender equity debate and rated a “must read” business book by the financial press. The pint-sized dynamo’s presentations include Why Gender and Equity is a Business No-Brainer; 10 Strategies for Accelerating Female Talent; Leveraging Workplace Diversity to Deliver High Performance; and, her personal favourite, Learn from the Best: Case Studies from Global Companies. Her depth and range of knowledge, engaging facilitation and ability to present information in an impactful way converts even hardened non-believers and typically exceeds audiences’ expectations.

142 Fiona Krautil

Why Gender and Equity is a No-brainer for Business With some of the best-educated women in the Western world, and one of the most culturally diverse populations on the planet, Australian organisations are especially well-positioned to deliver high performance in this Asian century. However, diversity rhetoric tends to be stuck in risk management or compliance thinking. Instead, companies need to ‘walk the diversity talk’ and move beyond compliance. In Australia male ‘Champions of Change’ research demonstrate that when business leaders ‘get’ diversity, greater staff engagement, improved productivity and innovation, and better quality decision-making all flow from the leadership putting the rhetoric into action. Simply put, walking the diversity walk leads to greater business performance, which is why embracing an increasingly diverse workplace is a no-brainer for business. SPEAKER VALUE

Researched and field-tested content Rapport with audiences at all levels across myriad industry sectors Delivers practical knowledge, tools and tips An ability to engage and inspire Motivates and shifts mind-sets Reveals how to create a 21st century organisation that attracts and retains the best talent

Mila Vujinovic

I’m a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down.” Abraham Lincoln

Mila Vujinovic is an inspiring public speaker who represents the realworld financial success that tenacity, ambition, and determination can achieve even in the most disheartening circumstances. With degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Management, Mila opened an import/export clothing company in her native country of Serbia at the age of 23. Handling the management of the business, she gained insight and experience in marketing and business as the company flourished. After 15 years of success with the company, Serbia suffered its worst recession, and Mila decided to reassess her options for the sake of her growing family. A trip to Australia inspired Mila to pursue her dreams to the ends of the earth. With extraordinary determination and courage, Mila moved to Australia as a single mother, learned English, and with astounding ingenuity and hard work, achieved great success in her new home as a financial and sales consultant. Mila went on to become the top sales consultant in Australia with Craftmatic Pty Ltd., and won the FACE Award in 2004. She eventually went on to found her own financial consultation company with the inspiration of such mentors as Anthony Robins, Tom Hopkins, and Cherrie Barber. Guided by her personal challenges and triumphs, Mila is a charismatic and motivational speaker who now wishes to share wisdom from her experience with others in similar circumstances.

144 Mila Vujinovic

“My aspiration is to make sure that my children and other women have the ability to prevent any financial stress, to equip my children and other single mothers with the security and financial freedom they deserve.”

“Profit aside, what is more heart-warming about Mila is her background and her strong sense of family. Raising children solely whilst juggling a career is not an easy task and she has sacrificed a lot of herself to raise the fine young adults that her children are today. But she has done all of this with a happy disposition and a positive attitude despite the curve balls that life sometimes throws at you. What is evident about her is her strong sense of loyalty, be it personal or business and it will be this strong quality of hers that continues to make her someone you want to do deal with, time after time.” Cherie Barber

Andrew Barsa

Education will give you knowledge – however, success is the program of the mind.”

Andrew Barsa is the author and creator of the financial wealth mindset program ‘The Inner Millionaire’. With over 10 years experience in the financial markets, Andrew has dramatically helped thousands of individuals and businesses increase their wealth and Profits Over the years, Andrew has associated with some of the richest and the most challenged people in the world. His biggest question was, “Why do some people become successful, and others do not?” Andrew quickly eliminated the usual excuses that most people give: family, background, connections, skill set, education and so on. None of these factors actually made a difference. Andrew met educated and gifted people who were barely making ends meet and at the same time he was baffled how uneducated and the unfortunate became highly successful. After a while, Andrew began to realize that most people actually have the amount of money they truly believe they are worth. “What it boils down to is this” he says.” Success and wealth is actually a state of mind. It’s the sum total of all the little stories we tell ourselves every day.” When he realised this, he began to listen to how people identify themselves and what they were saying about money and their relationship to it. Andrew has observed patterns and developed a successful unique formula which he has taught in his seminars and through various literatures. Those who applied his proven method have experienced life altering changes. Andrew Barsa has coached and mentored international companies in generating more than $70 million in revenue in a three year period and increasing business growth from 30% to 500%, within months.

Ghost Town, Clone Town, Home Town Business communities have to change to be relevant in the world of the future.

These practical steps have been introduced to many small towns and communities to provide them with a working plan to develop their Home Town for the future.

Don’t Serve Me… Make My Day The days of customer service have long gone. It is estimated that in the next few years 40% of products will be purchased online.

John’s Day-Maker presentation steps an organisation and participants through what needs to be done now to be relevant in the future.

Marketing with Millennials in Mind Demographics have changed and subsequently consumer needs and wants have changed. The Millennial market thinks and acts differently to the last big demographic influencer, the Baby Boomer market. Businesses now need to understand Millennials and alter their marketing strategy to engage with this new and different consumer. Millennials, sometimes referred to Generation Y, do not trust businesses or advertising like their parents did. John walks you through how you need to change your marketing strategy for this important market sector.

You can change the world. All it takes is to be more conscious in your work and play.”

Derek and Kirrily Blomfield’s passion and vision for regenerative agriculture; of producing nourishing and healthy food from thriving, living and profitable family farms, is infectious and enlightening. Be uplifted by their journey from their dissatisfaction with conventional ways of producing food and managing farmland, to a regenerative approach that is good for the health of all, good for the farmer and good for the planet we live on. The sustainability and innovation that they exhibit and their advocacy for agriculture has seen them recognised as the NSW Farmer of the Year 2014, Rising Stars of the Australian National Carbon Cocky Awards 2014 and Highly Commended Finalists for Innovation in Sustainable Farming Practices, Landcare Australia 2013. (Derek also claims to have won a 70m dash at a small school’s sports day, but there is no known record of this). Branded as ‘The Conscious Farmer’, the Blomfields produce and market their own grassfed beef which is known for its sensational taste difference and health benefits. Kirrily writes ‘The Conscious Farmer’ blog with enthusiasm, sharing soil nurturing regenerative farming and grazing practices. While their work in farming has been well recognised and rewarded, their real passion comes from inspiring others to be their best. Their journey of building their business to where it is today has involved massive mindset change, the need to be brave and authentic and a shakeup of how they managed their business. Kirrily and Derek’s genuine, down to earth authenticity and partnered presentations are a fresh and wholesome change from the traditional speaker. You will come away feeling nourished, with a new care for food and how it is produced, along with its connection to your own health. You may even be inspired to own your own farm! Their story of the importance of food producing systems that regenerate the landscape is compelling and highly important for biodiverstity, climate and for the success and resilience of our race on earth. They are caring and generous with their time and love to stay after presentations to speak with those who seek more.

Amongst a world of industrial Blomfield agriculture, Kirrily and Derek choose a different path. Think big, act big and inspire others along the way, for the greater good.

Hear their journey of how they transformed their farm from conventional chemical agriculture, to one of healthy and diverse perennial pastures, where their cows are the tool to help improve and shape the landscape, as well as the healthy bi-product of this management. Being authentic in business. Making Conscious Choices. Be brave and build brand loyalty. In a world of prescriptive sales advice, how do we build trust and be authentic? Why this is so important and what does this mean for your business? Get to know your farmer again. It’s time to reconnect with the people putting wholesome food on your table! Has society lost its way with how to nourish us and our livestock for health? If we want to choose food that nourishes us into the future, it’s time to support those producing it well!

Being told she was ‘six years before her time’ she started to make waves and was determined to turn her pain into gain, she accomplished that as Founder of an International Awareness Day and GAIN Inc.

Your Body, Your Right, Your Power After her rude awakening she placed an advertisement in a magazine she discovered the community were seriously naïve about terminologies, risks and symptoms. She set about creating a fun and interesting way to build greater relationships in the work place and home.

Courage, Confidence, Communication and Community Advocacy Kath found a way to communicate her message to a higher level through GAIN Inc; a Senate Enquiry was held leading to the National Gynaecological Cancer Centre.

“To take on a powerful professional body is not an easy task; Kath’s indomitable courage is to be admired. All women, particularly those who experience Gynaecological problems owe her a great deal. It is hoped that in the future the medical profession will benefit from Kath’s contribution.” Dr Rosemary Coates, Immediate Past President, World Association Sexual Health

183 MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS AUSTRALIA Ash Oz

There are so many possibilities, you just need to take action to make it happen.”

Speaker for Property Investment, Wealth Creation for Australians. Property Investing using Self Managed Superannuation (SMSF) Investing in Australian Property (for overseas investors)

Ash Oz founder of Oz Property Portfolio is a Property Investment expert who has built a multi-million dollar property portfolio. Now her mission is the help others achieve the same. In 1993 at the tender age of 19, she purchased her first property and has been buying property ever since. Along the way she made most of the mistakes that investors make. She notices people making these same mistakes today, which are preventing investors from attaining the wealth available through property. After 20 years of her career as a Customer Service Officer at Centrelink, Ash developed Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) in her right arm. This caused her to re-evaluate her life and career. While working as a public servant, Ash had coincidentally built a property portfolio that is now generating a 6 figure passive income for her. Her naively well chosen investments allowed her to leave her Centrelink job. Walking away from her job allowed Ash to have time to educate herself on property investing and find a great team of people to help her triple her property portfolio. That was when she realised she wanted to give back and help others achieve wealth through property investing. Her own knowledge, experience and passion to educate and help everyday Australians build a solid foundation for financial freedom through strategic property investing has lead to her new career path as a Property Investment Strategist. In her talks Ash shares her experiences as a property investor and the mistakes she has made along the way. She shares her insight into the current property market trends and property cycle. She further explains the advantages of having the correct loan structure and utilising the tax benefits in order to help her client grow a solid property portfolio. Her talks also inspire her audience to take the steps needed in order to become a successful property investor. Her insight into successful property investment helps people put a plan in place and take action on the plan. Ash inspires, motivates and supports people to create a vision, believe in themselves and their ability to achieve their dreams. She is passionate about helping and guiding first time investors to take their initial steps, or more experienced investors to further expand and enhance their property portfolio. She helps her clients implement a proven property investment strategy with a long term vision to wealth creation, property investing and financial freedom. Ash has affiliated herself with Australia’s leading property investment companies which allow her clients to leverage off these relationships by taking advantage of their research and acquisition, and also the investor networks and wholesale negotiation power. These bring benefits to clients as they are able to invest in areas with potential for high growth and allow them to invest in exclusive VIP opportunities not available to the public.

184 Ash Oz

Endorsements “Absolutely a wonderful power talk”, Ash is really part of the Success Women’s Network team. Her power talks and professionalism is first class. If you are looking for a no fuss, knowledgeable speaker on all things property– then you are looking for Ash. We would recommend Ash to any business who wants the best possible speaker that you can trust and give you all the tools you need to invest in property.” Natalie Moutia, Success Women’s Network

“We have been extremely happy with the service provided by Ash Oz. Right from the outset when we decided to buy a property, our requirements as the customer were professionally considered and outworked. She went over and above what we were expecting and made it happen. We have found the follow up service on matters relating to our investments plans to be very responsive and of a very high standard. She developed a very detailed investment plan and we have a clear understanding about the concept of property investment. Thank you so much Ash for all your hard work. I would recommend your services to anyone.” Altug Sanli, Business Consultant, Chartered Tax Adviser Ideal Accountant Group

“I met Ash a few years ago and as a fellow investor, I was always impressed by her dedication and determination to succeed. I was delighted when Ash called me to say she had quit her government job to pursue property investing full time. Wow, that was truly impressive. Ash’s story is incredible but true. She walks the talk and has a fantastic wealth of information regarding property that she will pass on to those keen to follow in her footsteps. Ash, you are truly an amazing property investor and an inspiration to me.” Amelia Pereira

“When looking to purchase an investment property, there can be a lot of misleading salespeople who don’t care too much about how ‘healthy’ an investment is but rather aim to get a sale done as quickly as possible for their own financial gain. Ash is totally different. She always puts her clients first, has done all the research on specific properties and truely believes in the strategies she advocates so much that she invests in similar properties herself (something I found a lot of other people selling properties don’t do). She puts the interests of her clients so high on her priorities list that she will even refrain from promoting one of her projects if it’s not suitable for your current situation. I always run any potential purchases through ash now :)” Nish Sequiera

Otto Heutling

A martial artist’s power does not lie in his fighting skills, but in her mindset, his attitude, her energy!”

Otto Heutling specialises in empowering women through the vehicle of martial arts and self-defence - however, not so much through fighting techniques, but the mindset, attitudes and energy behind it. Because a fight or a self-defence incident is an extreme situation that people don’t want to find themselves in, it really highlights the importance of being confident, assertive and taking action as early as possible. And understanding human dynamics and psychology from this angle delivers the necessary framework and context to implement these traits, not just when facing potential danger, but in everyday life. This knowledge empowers women to live life more fully, happily and on their terms. Starting his martial arts journey almost 35 years ago at the tender age of 6, Otto and has been teaching for over 15 years as one of the most experienced instructors of IWKA Australia - the International WingTjun Kung Fu Association (also known as the Internal Wisdom & Knowledge Association). The IWKA is an established worldwide organisation with emphasis on developing your mind, body and energy to higher levels than the average human being. It is about breaking your barriers, leaping over obstacles, overcoming your fears and becoming everything you ever wanted to be. Otto has traveled all over the world not only for martial arts training, but also for his own personal development. He has extensive training in various accelerated learning techniques, NLP and has completed world renown courses in Australia as well as in Asia and the US in building and delivering workshops and seminars to help others. Otto designed the FemFatale Empowerment trainings after teaching for many years and realising real self- defence is more about empowerment than fighting techniques. He stresses the importance of using the underlying principles, not only in potentially dangerous situations, but more importantly on a daily basis in everyday situations. His holistic approach to empowerment shines through his extensive martial arts experience together with his continual growth and learnings from his own personal development. This greatly benefits his students and workshop participants throughout Australia The FemFatale trainings and presentations are educational, fun and engaging from start to finish. At a height of 6’8 Otto has an undeniable stage presence and he uses this beautifully, coupled with his natural charm and charisma, to motivate and inspire women to realise their inherent power.

Leigh Cowan

The TRUE purpose of Marketing goes far beyond helping sales - it is the corporate fountain of youth & bottomless pit of profits.”

Presenter Background

Delivering the right combination of content and entertainment for any conference, seminar, convention or short course, the audience takes away practical information that will make them say, “Wow! That was valuable!” ‘Squeezing the juice’ out of proven corporate and academic know-how, is the content of power-packed presentations that allow the audience to walk away with the tools and resources needed for entrepreneurs to achieve positive change. More than emotional motivation that gets the audience pumped up, more than technical speakers sharing information that fails to educate, the experience inspires with combinations of relevant and interesting content, designed to send the crowd home in awe, with anew and higher respect for ‘marketing’ science. LEIGH COWAN - B Com (Mktg), Grad. Dip Strategic Planning (London City University)

With over 30 years as marketing executive, Leigh Cowan, B. Commerce – Marketing (UNSW); Grad. Dip Strategic Planning (London City University), brings a vast range of experience and lateral thinking to benefit his clients.

Leigh has had Marketing papers published, taught Fundamentals of Marketing to undergraduates at the University of NSW, Marketing Management at the UTS Graduate School of Business in Sydney and subjects as diverse as Marketing Communications, Consumer Behaviour and Strategic Marketing Planning and Strategy. As a consultant over the past 17 years he has helped companies grow sales by as much as 50% in one year, successfully launch products that may have never found success on their own and saved business leaders from disastrous choices in corporate strategy. Leigh’s knowledge is equally founded on decades of marketing management and product launch success in Finance, FMCG, IT industry, Government and Professional Services. During a stint in the UK he helped an FMCG company increase its market share 6-fold in under 18 months, knocking the mighty Mars Corporation on its backside. Leigh is currently Managing Director of Launch Engineering that specialises in new product development and launch, pre-launch and on-going marketing planning and strategy.

Denise Hall is an ex-Business Owner turned Exit Strategist and Business Broker to Business Owners of the world. She knows how to play the “Finish Unfinished Business” game like no other. Starting a business is a BIG deal. Building it to become much more than a hobby is even BIGGER again. In fact, building a Business into an Asset may result in it being possibly the largest asset you’ll ever own, if not second after your home. So NOT “Starting with the End in Mind” can result in all the blood, sweat, tears and money you’ve invested resulting in nothing! According to recent statistics from the “Centre of Women’s Business Research USA”, only 3% of women- owned businesses reach $1 million revenue or more. Highlight women who are the primary breadwinner, that % is even lower no doubt. Denise is proud to feature in both categories. In July 2011, Denise sold her last business for fair market value, the third she has owned, built and sold. It was in the Consulting, Learning, Training and Organisational Development arena, doing 7 figures at time of going to market, so it wasn’t one that could just be packed away without due consideration of its future. Blend this breadth of experience and execution together with her sense of humour, and you can see why Denise is sort after. From building a “Mother of a Business”, to finding a way to GET OUT as profitably and painlessly as possible, Denise paints a picture enabling all to see what needs to be done and how to do it, whether it be DIY or working along side her.

Her aim is to give senior executives and business owners clarity around how they can take an idea and build a profitable business: Start with ‘Who’ (not the ‘why’) Find THE ideas that will add value in your business Build a business around a great idea: the why, what, how and what next (also a workshop)
