Breakthrough for Life

Workshops and Expo

Wednesday, 5 May 2004

Crown Promenade Hotel
Melbourne, Australia

We've gathered together on one amazing day, in one amazing place, an array of businesses who make a difference and do things BETTER.

Breakthrough for Life is a MUST experience for business owners who feel weighed down by the responsibilities of their business. It's a must for those of you who fail to take time out, who find it difficult to remember when you last read a book, went fishing, danced a tango, or had a great night out with your partner – because you have been working so hard .

Who Should Attend?
All Business Owners

Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk, Do the Lot
(How to Achieve Your Dreams by taking control of your life and your time)

Talk about learning from the Master !

John Sikkema doesn't just talk the talk. He's doing it all!

John is the founder of Garrisons Pty. Ltd., the national financial services group, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Synergy Capital Management Ltd. These days, Garrisons has more than 80 franchised offices and 180 financial planners throughout Australia. When John sold Garrisons to the Challenger Group in 1999, the company had approximately $3 billion in funds under advice.

Despite this significant financial success, John's greatest sense of pride has come from the culture and values present in Garrisons. Clients frequently say that is the key reason they choose to use the firm's services.

John's focus is on adding value to people; moving square pegs out of round holes, offering new challenges, and taking a wholistic interest in every person working with the firm. That's why excellent staff choose to stay there.

Though he was immediately invited back as Executive Chairman upon the sale of Garrisons, John now leads an exciting, varied and full life. He says he still regularly takes time out for “integrity checks”, to make sure all his activities are in line with his long-term vision.

As well as focussing more than ever on his family and the community, John now shares his time and skills with a number of Australian and overseas charities.

In his Workshops, you will work with John to learn :

  • How to achieve incredible results and performance
  • The importance of never letting go of your dreams
  • How to develop the courage to back your own judgment
  • How to create the team that will deliver your dream
  • How to juggle your time to achieve a balanced life (and why time management is a waste of time)
  • The benefits of becoming a “servant leader”
  • How your bottom line benefits from a culture of integrity and quality.

You'll take away strategies to use your own creativity to turn problems into Win Win outcomes and achieve your full potential.

 

If you've ever thought “Accountants…. boring ….” Peter Fitzgerald is the Accountant to change your mind for ever!

As a Keynote Speaker and Workshop Presenter, Peter approaches the lectern … well, just like an Accountant. And then he speaks! From that moment, his audience is captivated.

Peter Fitzgerald has a rare ability to put his finger on the challenges and opportunities business owners in all sorts of industries can identify with, and to present solutions in an encouraging way that every business owner can apply.

After building his own practice from scratch, and observing the patterns of his diverse clients' successes and failures over a career spanning 27 years, Peter has developed easy to follow strategies that have completely transformed many businesses. He shows business owners how to be debt-free, to free themselves from the “bondage” their businesses have become …. and reclaim their lives!

So that his audience can see how his strategies really work, Peter uses Case Studies of business owners who have turned their businesses and lives around (and a few who have NOT!).

Peter says that if his 13 years old son can build the seeds of a business career using the principles he shares in his Workshops, you can do it too!

In Peter Fitzgerald's Workshops you will learn :

  • What works for Australian businesses and business owners – and what doesn't!
  • The benefits of a debt-free lifestyle – and how to get it!
  • How to manage a business … even if you don't like managing
  • What you need to know about the Australian financial system and business environment
  • How to prosper in an economic recession
  • How to get a clear picture of your business future.
 

Wannabe a Grasshopper or a Giant ?

Dr Robert McQuillan has been described as a Professional Encourager. “A what ?”, you may ask. Robert applies his vast knowledge and experience of business and people, coupled with a generous dash of “Irish knowing”, to remind business leaders from the big to the small ends of town, as well as ordinary folk, of their unlimited capabilities.

He says that he started out as “the boy least likely to succeed”, having been a lonely Irish kid with small dreams who initially left school at just 13 years of age.

From that inauspicious beginning, Robert McQuillan forged a successful business career working in stressful and challenging management roles with multinational corporations Brother, Charlicks and Singer, gained a LhD (which is a Doctor of Humane Letters), is listed in the prestigious USA publication Marquis Who's Who in the World, has been editor, publisher and writer in a number of international ‘lifestyle' publications, and is a popular speaker at conferences, seminars and on radio. For some years he has been a fully registered Clinical Member of the Australian Counselling Association. Underpinning all his achievements has been a happy marriage of 43 years to Maureen, a highly creative interior decorator/designer.

In Robert McQuillan's workshops you'll be encouraged by real-life stories of amazing success; stories of everyday people, and stories of the likes of Abraham Lincoln, the backwoods boy with no education, and Rudi Guiliani, the Mayor who led New York through the traumatic times surrounding September 11.

Robert McQuillan will lead you through a “Treasure Island” map of where you are, what you want from life, and how to get there. You'll be amazed to find yourself sharing Dr McQuillan's absolute belief that you can find a solution for any problem facing you.

You'll discover :

  • How to see yourself as a Giant, not a Grasshopper
  • How to push yourself further – even when you think you can't
  • 10 ways to avoid falling over when things are tough
  • Strategies to encourage yourself
  • How to change problems into opportunities.
