“Our focus determines our results”  is the topic of  Guest Speaker Carren Smith at July 21^st business breakfast

If you would like a way to take greater control of the results that are showing up in your life and in your business right now, Carren Smith has the tools to get you there.

After an 18 year corporate career in Sydney, Carren began coaching and consulting into SME’s and found the primary determinants of success were the ability to adapt to change, retain clarity of focus and inspire both staff and clients. Carren’s experiences as a survivor of the 2002 Bali Bombing and the suicide of her partner the year prior have given her greater insight into the level of responsibility required to effect change in any environment.

Her presentations are charged with passion, humour, credibility and tangible techniques designed unlock the potential and the purpose which exists within each of us and she will be sharing these ‘secrets’ with us on the 21^st July.

As one of Australia’s most high profile speakers on the psychology of success, Carren is a must see when it comes to achieving phenomenal results and personal transformation!

Speaker for May 19^th Business Excellence Breakfast   JOHN HUDSON- International Presenter

Early bookings appreciated as this will be advertised extensively and a full house is expected.

3 times Australian Representative to the World Snooker Championship’s, John S. Hudson presents his “What it takes to be a Champion” speech.

Ever held on to a big goal, a really big dream?

John has. 

 As a young man, he was mesmerised by watching Australia’s own Eddie Charlton win the Pot Black snooker series on television.

He then set himself an incredible dream to one day represent Australia himself in a World Snooker Championship, a goal he was finally able to achieve, some 35 years later!

 Driven by a relentless determination and a strong work ethic, John garnered State and Australian Championship’s along the way and has overcome significant challenges to achieve his life long dream.

He forged a powerful personal belief in his 5 Key Principles to success. 

In 15 years as a professional speaker, John has found many people who have set goals, however in many cases they need a “road map” to get there.

John will give you this road map by sharing with you his 5 Key Principles with you on the day.

You will be provided with your own work sheet to write these 5 Key Principles that will give you every opportunity for success in business and in your own personal life.

For any one of us who have ever held onto a dream, John’s speech is truly a very powerful heart warming story of NEVER EVER EVER giving up on a dream!

 This inspirational and motivational speaker is not to be missed. John tours internationally and throughout Australia and never fails to impress and amaze his audience with his motivational journey to success!!
