It's not who you know...IT'S WHO KNOWS YOU.

Feeling invisible in business has it's ups and downs. Not everyone wants celebrity status and not everyone craves attention. But it's not about what you WANT. This is business. Your BRAND IMAGE and VOICE will establish itself with or without your help. 

BUSINESS BRAND PROFILING: Every business develops it's own unique voice through it's actions, reactions, and general communications. By defining your business' brand based on the values and philosophies it upholds, you're unveiling what was already there and LEVERAGING it to grow an audience and customer base of like-minded people who all love and appreciate you. 

PERSONAL BRANDING: No matter how much you hide behind your business logo, the reality is people gravitate towards people. This is why your social media images that include you, will get more attention and engagement than a pic of your car or product. They're already talking about you. By defining your personal brand based on your WHY, you're clarifying the people who should connect with you and your talents. 

What if you could simplify your branding strategy with just one page?

During this 2-hour online workshop, you will:

• Clarify why people gravitate towards you

• Understand the elements of personal and professional branding 

• Discover the One Page Brand Building Planner template

• Follow the facilitator in completing your one-page plan

By the end of this workshop, you will have a personalized one-page brand-building plan, ready to focus your messages, images and marketing and maximize your earning potential.

This is a paid workshop, offering in-depth, practical insights and personalized feedback to enhance your branding strategy and drive your business forward. Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your business potential!

...It's not you, it's me. 

That's what procrastination does to our psyche. We constantly think we're running late, ill-prepared and underperforming. 

The truth is MOST people procrastinate in one way or another. We get selective in our tasks, anxious about the unknown, and feel 'crazy busy' all the time. 

But you CAN do something about it. 

Procrastination is a mental battle but the good news is that means it's inside you and you can regain control!

During this free webinar,Rhonwyn (a self-professed procrastinator), will UNPACK the different types of procrastination, why you might be experiencing it and what you can do about it to get you and your business moving!

As with all free Business In Training webinars, this is a high impact session with easy to follow steps to make immediate changes to your way of working. If you're constantly feeling like you're playing a losing game, then this is a must-attend session to figure out how to abandon old ways and work to your strengths. 

While a recording will be available for a limited time after the webinar, by attending the live session, you'll be able to drill us for answers and get started asap. 

See you in there!

Company Class is a daily ritual for most professional dancers, where dancers are able to prepare for their day, brush up on technique, test different steps, and connect with fellow dancers before beginning rehearsals.

Consisting of a range of balletic exercises to live classical music from a pianist, ballet class is led by a ballet master or mistress and is specifically designed to hone and develop ballet technique whilst preparing and conditioning the body for the athletic demands of classical ballet. Company Classes are a daily ritual for dancers around the world which commence with smaller and refined movements at the ballet barre and develop onto expanded, travelling movements away from the barre and across the studio floor - finishing in Grand Allegro, expansive leaps and jumps.

A Company Class viewing gives you a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes to see how dancers learn and prepare for their days. Company Class viewings provide valuable insight into the technique of dancers, athleticism, and dedication of a Company together. Don't miss the incredible opportunity to see Queensland Ballet dancers in Company Class viewings on our very own Talbot Theatre stage. A short series of dates will be offered throughout the year, click ‘book now’ to secure your ticket today.
