Banner Frame offers greater impact and flexibility
Pozitube has launched a Banner Frame to help retailers and event organisers present a professional image with greater impact and without the limits of traditional supports.
Conference moderator and facilitator David Lingham has a busy year lined up following on from supporting 11 major events internationally during 2004.
The hiring of an experienced conference moderator is not yet widely utilised but can be invaluable in ensuring that events run to time, providing links between sessions and speakers, carrying out interviews and panel sessions and generally keeping the audience involved and informed.
Lingham has an ability to ensure an event is successful and has wide experience of dealing with multi-lingual conferences.
It does a motivational speaker good to be required to drink a large dose of their own medicine - and to prove that it is not snake oil.
So when a client bet motivational speaker Jim Lawless, a non-rider, that he could not prove his "Ten Rules for Taming Tigers" by becoming a jockey in a year - he had to accept the challenge.
Lawless won his bet, turning himself from being an 11 1/2 stone, non-riding, overweight smoker to become a 9 1/2 stone leading licensed amateur jockey using his own principles for success, a feat according to any racing or riding expert that was, technically, impossible.
In the past two years Jim Lawless has become a welcome addition to the international speaking circuit.
He speaks about personal and team peak performance, leadership, communication and change and his presentations are liberally illustrated with energy, humour and anecdotes.
Lawless has the ability to delight any audience because he talks common sense and explores how simple, achievable changes in mindsets and behaviours can radically influence our chances of success.
Congratulations to motivational speaker and broadcaster Sally Gunnell on the birth of her new baby boy - Marley Jayjay Bigg - who arrived in February.
Both are happy and healthy and Gunnell's back to work already.
Gunnell has recently spoken at a number of very successful women's networking events for large financial institutions.
She talks about the importance of having the right team around you, both now with her busy working and family life, and also when she was competing as an athlete.
She has also recently completed a series of workshops and a masterclass for the Department of Education and Training based specifically on coaching and how methods she used for her Olympic success can be transferred to their teams.
