Continuing from last weeks blog “Kerri Pottharst and other inspiring people”…

After arriving in Melbourne and catching up with Andrew Mowat, we stayed with friends Anthony and Vicki Ware, who we first connected with through their work in Thailand 10 years ago. Anthony and I reconnected on the Gold Coast in November and we have picked up where we left off - sharing the journey of life and passion for making a difference. We’re inspired by what they’re doing and planning, to make a difference in Burma so we donated a coaching package & a copy of the journal for their upcoming fund-raising auction)

And our whole purpose for being in Melbourne… To learn presentation secrets to add public speaking to what we do and develop our “Elegant Business Model” with Dr Joanna Martin. I wrote in my journal on Thursday night “Big day tomorrow! I will stay on the edge of my seat and learn and participate and grow! On Friday night I wrote “It’s all been amazing. It’s the most transformative training I’ve done since the ICT (Intensive Coach Training) or Team Coach Training. Significant moments of insight and clarity… must sleep - I’m presenting some content tomorrow!”

Joanna took us all out to dinner on Saturday night which was so generous and a fabulous chance to get to know people more. It’s exciting to be in a room with like-minded, passionate people and see how we can do things like this more often.

Our Coaching Celebration parties come to mind… if you’ve been to one of those you know how fun and inspiring it is to hear from others who are pushing through limitations to achieve what’s most important to them. Hanging out with big thinkers is fun, stretching and inspiring!

We’ll be working more with Joanna and her team over the next year (and beyond I’m sure) and we’re so excited about where we’re headed, and what it means for our members and clients. We’re so passionate about bringing out the gold in people and especially those in regional or isolated areas… There are some big dreams that need to become a reality!

Cheering you on
Kerrie
