Empowering Women 2011
Why stop now? Following the success of our Empowering Women series launched in 2010, we are continuing with our aim of empowering the women of this region in 2011, with four fantastic, motivating and inspiring workshops planned over the next nine months. This year the focus shifts from strictly financial empowerment to a more personal and people focused empowerment. We will be including active workshops and at each session there will be an inspirational guest speaker to challenge you and ignite the spark within you.

The former Mackenzie District Council receptionist confounded many by offering herself as a candidate in the district’s mayoralty – and then winning the race. She is now the first sitting female mayor in the iconic Mackenzie District and proving by example that you can live the dream. Claire will share her story, and a few of her secrets.
Performance Management for Women
One of the biggest challenges in any business or community environment, is managing your staff and discovering the secrets to getting the best performance from your team. In this session, we take this concept a little further, out of the business environment and into the community, where women are often found running committees and voluntary groups, immersed in the fundraising that is critical to their communities. You will gain an insight and some valuable ideas into how to manage your staff, your committee members or your voluntary groups, to achieve the best results for all concerned.
