 Does speaking in front of an audience fill you with dread?
Well.....fear no more ......public speaking skills can be learnt. Our guest speaker is Patricia Ryan, author of "Top Tips for Public Speaking" and "Top Tips for Interpersonal Communication - What Public Speaking Can Do for You!" Patricia will take us through some basic steps to public speaking, such as presenting ourselves, the body language we use, the way we use our voice, as well as some processes we can put into practice immediately. Patricia herself was a stutterer for more years than she cares to say, and her journey from stutterer to international presenter, public speaker and trainer/facilitator will delight and inspire you. bookings: RSVP by Mon 24th March, 3pm.

 president's reportHi Members Our IWD workshops were terrific, for those of you who attended … well done! Numbers overall were down, and of cause that is a little disappointing. When we as a committee are constantly given feedback that certain programs are wanted and needed, we act on that and a huge amount of work then goes in to that event. So when the support from our members isn’t there, it does then leave us wondering…. But for those who were there it was such a great day, and a big thank you to, Trudy Di Cola and Paula Malaponte for their wonderful presentations on the day. Our support to Laurie Howland’s (Shave for a Cure) was also successful with all money raised, from the sale of raffle tickets for the coffee table donated by the Tarzali Sawmill (thank you Lesley Gilbride) given to the leukaemia foundation. Our next function is on the 26th of March and will be held at the Dairy Centre. Patricia Ryan is our guest speaker and she will be talking to us about “ What public speaking can do for you” another topic we have been asked to address. So remember the challenge is to bring all you staff and we have a prise for the employer who does this. It is about investing in your business, and your staff of cause being your greatest asset. Until then remember – If you keep doing what you have always done .. you will keep getting what you have always got!!! Take Care Follow up from TBWN International Women’s Day Workshop ~ Zanzoo Sales Solutions Hello All! Thank-you for giving up your Saturday to attend my workshop and thank-you Leslie for inviting me to attend! It certainly was a full-on weekend for me! I was also thrilled with your interest in attending a follow-up workshop to learn more about the topics I covered. To recap, the morning session touched on 'People-skills' using "DiSC Powered Selling" and the afternoon was more about the sales process with "Action Selling." The workshops I offer either train a corporate team, or I gather individuals and small teams together for my monthly workshops. The next "DiSC Powered Selling Workshop" in Cairns will be on Thursday 10th April in my "Zanzoo ConferenZ RoomZ" near Crystal Cascades. If you are interested in attending this workshop, please e-mail me. I am also interested in organising the follow-up workhshops in the Tablelands. The way I plan my workshops is to coincide with what dates suit the majority of interested participants. So if you are interested in attending a follow-up workshop in the Tablelands please assist me with my planning by providing the following details: Preferred Month, Preferred Dates (or dates to avoid), Preferred location and/or venue, Which Workshop (ie DiSC Powered Selling or Action Selling) I will let you know what the general concensus is and send you a booking confirmation form. If you would like to organise corporate training, please send me your contact details and I will arrange to meet up with you to dicuss your requirements. I look forward to hearing from you.
