JENNIFER JEFFRIES Health Guru is speaking at Tweed Heads/Coolangatta on the 16th May at Tweed Heads Bowls club.
In a world of self-help experts, there is one whose message for dealing with the demands of life today is not about more ‘stuff’ you ‘should’ be doing to improve yourself. Jennifer Jefferies has an important message for us all in our quest for the perfect balance of work and life – relax, you are only human, so cut yourself some slack.
You see, apart from being a qualified health practitioner, and one of Australia’s best-known authors and speakers, Jennifer has also travelled the road to corporate burnout – and while there she realised that there was a far better way to come back to ‘real life’! Jennifer’s prescription for modern living is powerful message of balance and how to have it all through the 7 Steps to Sanity® – a practical and proven guide to having balance, without sacrificing your health, sanity or sense of humour.
Jennifer speaks to corporations throughout Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Asia, sharing practical real-life strategies that help people to improve their health, wellbeing and productivity by finding balance in their lives. Jennifer is a refreshingly down-to-earth, engaging and informative speaker who leaves her audiences feeling empowered about the things they can do to achieve balance in their lives, rather than feeling guilty about what they’re not doing! One of her cornerstone philosophies is, ‘If you find yourself off track, be grateful you noticed and get back on it!’ – no guilt, just action.
Jennifer is the author of 7 Steps to Sanity and seven other health-related titles, as well as featuring in the renowned Secrets of Inspiring Women Exposed!.

(From: Herald Sun
March 18, 2012 )
ONE morning, mother-of-three Trish Jenkins was waking up in the suburbs. The next, she was having breakfast behind bars.
Trish Jenkins was a successful investor who trusted the wrong person. Not only was she defrauded, she was found in breach of the Corporations Act.
She lost everything, including her family home. Worst of all, she was prosecuted and lost her freedom.
This wife and mother of 3 little girls, spent 8 months in prison with murderers, drug-dealers and frauds.
Instead of succumbing to despair she decided to change her mind set.
Trish became an expert on Fraud Warning Signals and Overcoming Adversity.
Today Trish speaks to businesses, conferences and other interest groups, bringing her unique perspective, quirky sense of humor and encouragement to people of all sectors of society.
Read her story in this article from the Sun Herald attached.
Trish lives with her heroic husband and 3 gorgeous daughters just north of Brisbane, Australia.
We are proud to have her as our keynote speaker in Tweed on the 18th April 2012.
Book now as seats are filling up. John@businessexcellence.net.au or 0418 269 136 by April 16th 12 noon

NOVEMBER NEWS 2011 FROM JOHN HURD’S DESK
Paddy Sweeney High Impact Professional Speaker-Successful Businessman-Franchisor and Author will be launching his 8th Book ” FIRE IN MY BELLY” at the breakfast on the 16th November at Tweed/Coolangatta 7am DST.
While he has authored seven books, the latest that is about to be released is the most interesting and useful. FIRE IN MY BELLY is a true life business drama laced with many tips and useful advice gleaned direct from the coalface. It uses the actual story of how Paddy turned around his company from burning $100 000 a month with $878 000 in unpaid 30-day accounts into a profitable and viable entity in less than twenty months.
Paddy maintains that the Fire in his Belly was the ingredient that made the difference.
“With a Fire in Your Belly doors open that you don’t know are there, opportunities flock to you, sales skyrocket, employee morale heightens and you ALWAYS find a way through to whatever you want to achieve.”
His high impact address drills down, in a way only Paddy can do, to the very heart and soul of all who he has lifted off their seats.
In his testimony he provides numerous real life examples of drama laced with humour and how each of can and should tap into the Fire in our Bellies every day. He has the unique ability to weave his audience into his story so it becomes their story. People take away new paradigms and ideas on how to solve and conquer all they may confront.
Paddy is the founder, CEO and director of start-up company Westcoast Brewing. Commencing with nothing more than an idea and limited capital, Paddy has grown the company to encompass a successful brewery and a high profile restaurant, with a second carbon neutral brewery about to be built as well as plans for a sister brewing company in Australia. The company exports to five countries and the demand for its products is growing exponentially as a result of critical and growing acclaim.
He is also a Franchisor of two successful Franchise Systems developed from scratch.
If the audience consists of groups that encompass sales people, management, franchisees, network marketing or if you simply have a group that needs a good dose of uncommon sense and motivation Sweeney will deliver, of that you can be assured.
Bookings by 12noon Monday 14th November to john@businessexcellence.net.au

‘THE M.A.D GUY’ Gary Jeffress to speak at the Tweed Heads Business Excellence Breakfast on 20th July 2011 on DYNAMIC CUSTOMER SERVICE IN TOUGH TIMES!
MAD being a metaphor for Making A Difference, Gary Jeffress is a firm believer that there are no traffic jams along the extra mile, especially when it comes to developing a customer base.
Through the creation of his unique selling propositions, Gary had successfully taken a start-up venture business and turned it into a $3million dollar saleable enterprise with around 30 active customers. Who wouldn’t want to hear his secrets?
In 2007 he sold both enterprises and was asked to coach a number of business people in their own ventures, which he still does today. Two of those companies asked him to join their board of directors after recognising the value he was to their business.
Business Coaching is a rewarding task that Gary loves to be involved in. It fits with his Making A Difference mindset.
Gary as The M.A.D. Guy however runs seminars and high energy workshops teaching that isn’t covered in accredited courses. Gary personally shares customer service secrets and is a published article writer on how you can build your business with only a small number of loyal clients., “
