Our recent special teleseminar, held earlier this week, focusing on the question of, ‘What is Lobii?’, was a huge success with many students attending. 

Our CEO, Bronwyn Bowery-Ireland opened proceedings with the Lobii vision, and talked about the exciting opportunities that the Lobii platform will offer members of the Lobii community.

Also on hand to answer questions were Robyn Logan, our Strategy Director and Bill Turpin, our Business Development Manager. Robyn and Bill answered many questions and in an effort to keep our audio a little bit shorter, we have selected a few questions which are included following Bron’s outline of Lobii.

We hope you enjoy listening!

“Reinvent” yourself (and your clients) before the New Year

Do you or your clients have an emotional stumbling block that is preventing you from achieving your dream? Why wait for the New Year, let’s ring in 2010 with a Reinvention! For more that 15 years speaker, trainer, mentor, coach and musician Wesley Goo, has counselled individual and Fortune 500 clients nationally and internationally. He’s also worked personally with one of the pioneers of the personal growth field, Tony Robbins.

Through his training and experiences, Wesley has identified what he believes to be the seven most common limiting behavioural patterns. He’s also identified effective approaches to eliminating those patterns - he calls his approach, Reinvention.

Wesley will share his insights on our internal ability to reinvent ourselves - to identify what’s keeping us from moving forward and change it - and lead us through exercises to break our limiting patterns. Let’s head into the New Year with a Reinvention. We look forward to seeing you! Read more »

Last week our special event, Balance Week, took place with many students, alumni and staff participating and in turn making valuable contributions. Each teleseminar explored ‘Balance’ in our lives, from different perspectives and in addition, participants came away with tools and the framework to  achieve this balance.
