Guest Speaker: Jo Petzer
Jo is a graphic designer by profession and has been in the trade for 30 years, working as an independent designer for 20 of those. Her baby, Cosmic Creations, is a boutique design studio in Cowies Hill where the main focus is on design, but has also evolved, involuntarily, into a marketing consultant.
Born and bred local, originally from ‘Maritzborough, am an INTJ-A personality type, chronic introvert, grammar Nazi, and obsessive problem-solver. And I can be quite a snarky smart-ass, with a terrible potty-mouth when you eventually get to know me.
Jo and her hubby have 13 rescue cats, some of whom are employed by me on a part-time basis, the rest are spongers, but they’re still cute! Her other baby, Eowyn is 23 and lives in London. Jo’s mission is to empower small-business owners to become DIY design ninjas for all the small, immediate, day-to-day stuff required to manage their social media profiles and basic marketing items. Because, really, it’s a pain for you to have to wait (and pay for) all those little things from a designer that you need right now.

Guest Speaker: Wendy Hind
There’s an art to packing perfectly and it starts well before you’ve slipped the first shirt off the hanger and into your suitcase. Be honest. How much of what you pack do you actually wear? 20%? 50%? Travel is about efficiency, yet, however frequently some people travel, they seldom seem to manage the art of packing successfully. There are three words that get you into a lot of trouble when you pack: ‘Just in case’. Discover how to pack perfectly – you need never arrive at your destination with over-packed, bulging baggage again. Wendy’s Perfectly Packed Workshop visually shows you what to pack and how to pack using ONE bag for a two-week trip!

Guest Speaker: Keri Miller
I am Keri Miller.
A sister. A girlfriend. A colleague. A friend. A daughter. To some, annoying, to others quite nice.
A woman with a fear of getting ‘old’, a woman with new wrinkles, a woman with a scale at the foot of her shower, a woman with a list of THINGS TO DO that never get done, a woman with innumerable insecurities.
a woman determined to be a good sister, a peaceful girlfriend, a helpful colleague, a decent friend and a daughter who will make her parents proud. A woman who doesn’t get offended by the unkind comments or become arrogant because of the flattering ones. A woman determined to love the extra lines, pay no attention to natural fluctuations on the scale, a woman who is OK with tackling the TO DO list one …… tiny…… step…. At…. A…… time.
A woman determined to remind other women that we are a team.
We are EXACTLY where we need to be, always.
A woman trying to remember that without the mud, there is no lotus. So learn to love the mud.

Topic: Living Mindfully
Mindfulness refers to the willingness or ability to show up fully in your lives and live them as if they really mattered. It is a basic human quality, a way of learning to pay attention to whatever is happening in your life that allows you a greater sense of connection to your life inwardly and outwardly. Come and join us to find out more about mindfulness and how you can introduce a few practical ways to live more mindfully.
Mindfulness is typically cultivated by a range of simple meditation practices, which aim to bring a greater awareness of thinking, feeling and behaviour patterns, and to develop the capacity to manage these with greater skill and compassion. This leads to an expansion of choice and capacity in how to meet and respond to life’s challenges, and therefore live with greater wellbeing, mental clarity and care for yourself and others.
“If we are to grasp the reality of our life while we have it, we will need to wake up to our moments. Otherwise, whole days, even a whole life, could slip past unnoticed.” – Jon Kabat – Zinn

July 2017 Workshop - Corporate vs. Personal Branding
2017-07-26 09:00 - 12:00 | 18 Burlington Conference Centre, 18 Burlington Drive, Westville, Kwazulu Natal, 3629, South Africa
Topic: Personal vs. Corporate Branding
Personal Branding is a Leadership Requirement, Not a Self-Promotion Campaign
Personal branding, much like social media, is about making a full-time commitment to the journey of defining yourself as a leader and how this will shape the manner in which you will serve others.
How popular and recognisable is your brand? Does it create a positive or negative impression? Take a look at how your personal image, body language, personality and ethics affect your corporate presence.
This workshop is being led by Janet Finch, CEO of Fresh Eyes Communication. Janet is a Chartered Public Relations Practitioner (CPRP – PRISA) with over 25 years’ experience in Public Relations and Communication Management, as well as Sponsorship, Event Management, Advertising, Brand Relations and Marketing.
