This 'Soapbox' is a little different to the usual. Today we seek to embolden you to step out, step up and to make your 2013 a year of real transformation. In challenging you to step out and up, we must do this ourselves - hence this communication. We cannot take opportunities we do not know exist so today's Soapbox is about getting the word out about some upcoming learning and development opportunities. We often get feedback about not being bold enough in promoting our services so this email is unashamedly intended to remedy that.
We know if you read this newsletter is it because you are committed to your growth. You have been exposed to our work somehow or other; perhaps in a course room through The Icehouse, a public course, a corporate training or a conference somewhere. Maybe you have been introduced to us recently or we have worked together for years. Regardless, we believe you have more potential yet and this is the year to let it out! This is the year to consciously evolve yourself and your enterprise. We want to help you do just that.
PERSONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES…
In case our particular offerings are relevant to your own goals and aspirations this year, we have public workshops coming up in three highly relevant growth areas. If you sense an impulse in you to take the next steps in your own evolution, details for workshops on offer in the next 6 weeks are below.
HIGH PERFORMANCE ORGANISATIONS…
We also want to highlight the opportunities that can open up for businesses that engage in personal development for leaders and teams. Whatever level of teamwork is needed to make your enterprise flourish, the quality of contribution from every single person influences all business results. If you want to attract and retain talented people, you must provide them with opportunities to learn and grow.
Our heartiest encouragement is that you back yourself, your organisation, and your vision this year. Make 2013 the year you changed gears. Make it the year you consciously refined yourself and your enterprise to be even more 'fit for purpose' than ever. Make 2013 the year to consciously evolve towards the highest aspirations and deepest yearnings you can. It may take a little daring, with a dash of risk, willingness to cooperate with your most positive potential, and a good dose of self-belief. With these ingredients you can cook up a life that is an even more wonderful contribution to the whole and a joy to experience as your own. At Presenter at Large we deeply believe in this possibility and use it as the 'true north' orientation for our own work.
We are fortunate to have great advocates for our own mission to significantly contribute to a more conscious and better human world through transformational education. We look forward to supporting you in fulfilling your own purpose and mission in life and in that, we remain at your service.
Arohanui, (and a happy Waitangi Day Wednesday for all our Kiwi subscribers!)

ESSENTIALLY SPEAKING

We all know ‘engagement’ is critical when learning, communicating and working at whatever we do. Humans thrive on challenge and stimulation. You might be very passionate about your expertise but if you cannot connect and engage with your audience your efforts will impact your effectiveness. If you want to build your confidence and get your message across effectively, let us help you build your skills and your conviction. Feedback from this workshop is consistent re the immediate usefulness of the material and the transformational nature of the work. It ‘works’ and the results are lasting. Make this your year for communicating more effectively with individuals and groups. You can register here. NOTE: For workshops in Melbourne contact Jen Grinter at jengrinter@optusnet.com.au

Client Feedback:
ACTIVATE YOUR HUMAN SUPERPOWERS - feedback from Amanda’s new book:
"I loved this book, Fleming certainly has done her work. The information and the wealth of wisdom is astounding, I use it with my clients and I suggest they buy the book for themselves. I have read a lot of self help books but this is well written, well laid out and clearly Fleming understands the journey towards an individuals true potential. Very rarely to I give 5 stars but this is in a league far surpassing other self help books, its a must buy."
