• “ANNOUNCING: An opportunity to discover the insider secrets of successful Business Women who make BIG things happen” 

 Find out how…

• ‘Dragon’s Den’ Dragon and author of ‘Business Nightmares’, Rachel Elnaugh created a powerful new paradigm for business under circumstances that would floor most people.

“Do you ever wish you had the COURAGE to Grow into your Dreams?

Are you putting off taking action on your really BIG GOALS?”

“Meet 11 amazing women who can show you how to…

…make your business dreams come true”

They’re ready to meet you and really tell the truth about what they had to learn to get where they are today.

Not only are they passionate about their own businesses. They LOVE helping women like YOU in take your dreams into action. They know from experience that YOU can do ANYTHING you put your mind to and that ALL of us sometimes need support in taking on new challenges to learn and grow both ourselves and our business.

“Want big results? Read on for a FAST and INSPIRATIONAL way to give your business a BOOST”

Running your own business should be a WILD ADVENTURE – what could be better than putting your dreams into action while making a positive difference to your customers’ lives? But all too often the adventure and DARING gets lost under a pile of ‘stuff to handle’, good intentions, fear, doubt and exhaustion. Then gradually the DREAMS begin to shrink to a more comfortable size…and the big learning and growth stops and we don’t even notice how small our life has become. We say there’s a BETTER WAY!

POWER UP! – The Empowerment Workshops

Catherine Rushforth & Susan Paul – Claiming your Confidence

Catherine Rushforth, CEO Catherine Rushforth & Associates / Susan Paul, CEO, Eternal Alliances.

Silencing the ‘little voice in your head’ and amplifying the true you.
In this workshop you will identify the family, cultural, religious and gender stories that undermine your professional confidence and are unconsciously “running the show” and start to develop powerful strategies to overcome them.
We will look at:
• The ‘sneaky ways’ in which the little voice in your head makes appearances in your lives, where it came from and the way it undermines confidence

• Who, in our networks, helps to keep ‘little voice in your head’ well fed

• Identifying those in your network who are already talking about you as competent, confident and successful.

• Exploring strategies to support and develop yourself as a consciously competent and confident woman in business

You will leave this workshop with insight into how you unconsciously ‘bought into a story’, where the little voice in your head had a lot to say and with clear ideas about how to further develop an empowering professional story, leaving you free to be ‘the real you’ in business.

Nikki Slade – Resonate Your Dreams, Your Voice is the Key

Nikki Slade, CEO, Chemistry at Work

In this illuminating session we will explore how our vibrational alignment precedes the spoken word. As we align with our inner voice through the power of our physical voice then we discover that we are at the source of all creation. We will tap this reservoir through the power of mantra and core sound. Mantras belong to us and are recorded in our cellular memory and realign us with our true nature.
Through this profound connection we begin to hear ourselves more clearly from within. Inspirational ideas arise naturally revealing our goals and how to achieve them. Then openings for action present themselves and we are amazed to see that we are resonating with the ancient laws of attraction.
We will explore the absolute modern day relevance to being at the source of our lives at a primordial level. As you resonate into the world from the power of your inner voice your business will naturally bloom and flourish!
What will we discover in the session?
• Discover your key note
• Flowing communication
• Raise your energy and keep it buzzing
• How to create your reality with sound
• How to transcend the ‘little voice’ and attune to your powerful inner voice.
Access practical tools to realize your business goals.
What will I do in this session?
In a totally non-judgemental environment you will
• Open your voice with others
• Explore the power of Mantra and chanting
• Move freely with others
• Have fun and play in a creative space.

Tanya Dotson - Managing your Time and your Team

Tanya Dotson, CEO, Synergy People

This workshop takes the question of time management and turns it upside down and inside-out. What we thought we know about time is not only challenged but largely debunked. Traditionally, time management was about freeing up more ”time”. The new thinkers such as Tim Ferriss, author of ”The 4-hour Work Week”suggest that this is not the case; that the key to having more time is ”doing” less. This workshop also looks at distinguishing what ”Team” is and why some teams are highly effective and a joy to participate in while others are non-productive and even damaging to the Core values of your organization.

I have adopted some of these ideas into my own business and designed this workshop to make the same technology available to you; things like defining a ”not-to-do” list, investigating the 80/20 rule of thumb and that oh-so- confronting- yet –highly- effective question to pose yourself: ”What are the top-three activities that I use to fill time to feel as though I’ve been productive?”

At the end of this workshop you will know what it takes to fill your Dream Team.
