Play a bigger game – What drives motivation, execution and results?
Rowdy McLean

Knowing what you want, why you want it and how to get it are the keys to a great life. Most people lack the tools, motivation and inspiration to grab life with both hands and fulfil their true potential. Sharing his journey from an average childhood to amazing results, Rowdy reveals the four key drivers of success that will allow you to achieve more, be more, and have more than you ever imagined. Learn not to accept the status quo; understand how to overcome fear; and discover how to get from 'cannot' to 'can' to make things happen every time!

Leave a lasting impression
Darren Hill

Lasting impressions matter. Whether you are in leadership, sales, or delivering frontline health services; the key to business success is how you are remembered. Given the vast amounts of information assaulting our senses every day and the mind-blowing amount of data at our disposal, the question is, 'are you memorable?' Author, speaker and behavioural scientist Darren guides you through the science of being memorable, both as a leader and as a business. Discover how to draw people to your service, your product and your message – and how to truly take root in the minds of your customers.

Create a team culture for engagement
Nigel Champion

Having a powerful brand, strong staff and member engagement, great relationships with suppliers and a commitment to your community is only possible if your team members have a common purpose and passion. How can this be achieved? The key is developing a powerful relationship with your staff where they know you will stand by them through thick and thin. Nigel, a pioneer of the Australian fitness industry (and a highly esteemed business owner) discusses the leadership skills to fully engage your team, and achieve a strong, trusted and successful business in the process.

 

Where there is chaos, there is opportunity

More has changed in the fitness industry during the past few years than in the previous 30. Increased competition, low-priced competitors, the advent of functional training and the decline of traditional price models have all resulted in an industry seeking direction. In this fascinating session, fitness business icon Thomas takes a unique look at the trends that are rocking the industry, and provides original insights into finding opportunity in the chaos.
