INVEST IN YOURSELF
IT SEEMS LIKE here at Paint & Panel we spend the first half of the year preparing for the second half. Our LIVE conference, the awards judging and gala dinner and Women in Collision all start to come to fruition from July.
I’m telling you this so that if you haven’t already bought a ticket to join us in Melbourne on 12 October for one of these events (November for Women in Collision) you’ll feel so bad that we’ve worked so hard to create these amazing networking and learning
opportunities, that you’ll race to our website and book yourself a ticket right away.
Here are some more motivators. As well as learning and being inspired to bring fresh ideas back into your business, both the awards dinner and our LIVE conference are fantastic industry networking opportunities.
Networking is proven to allow people to better understand market opportunities, get new ideas, find inspiration and, best of all, make friends.
Attending conferences is a great way to ‘sharpen your saw’, after all a blunt axe makes it hard to fell trees, so the saying goes. Taking time out from the business helps to give you a different perspective and is a great way of investing in yourself – and come on – you’re worth it.
Our awards gala dinner has grown each year as more of the industry wants to spend a great night celebrating the achievements of the winning businesses. There aren’t many opportunities in the year to get dressed up, bring partners or team members along and enjoy some fine food, entertainment and network all at the same time.
We’ve already received heaps of nominations for the Women in Collision Awards. Do you have someone in your business you couldn’t do without? Then nominate her
today on the Paint & Panel website.
Nominations will show how much you value
your team members’ contribution which in
turn boosts job satisfaction.
It’s a win, win!
