2012 a year of growth
It is definitely going to be a year of growth for me in 2012 as I take on the role of President of the QLD chapter of the National Speakers Association of Australia. Nothing like putting into practice my workplace gardening philosophy!
Client feedback

Melissa Cogzell, Business Support Coordinator, ARUP
As a keen gardener and someone who advises organisations on how
to increase employee engagement, I can see that there are many similarities
between creating a thriving garden and creating a thriving organisation.
Whether you have one pot plant sitting on your desk (one employee)
or a plot of land that would rival the botanic gardens (many employees)
the basic rules are the same. Get it right and your plants will
thrive (your people will grow). Get it wrong and you will be left
with a dead and dying garden (high turnover or, even worse, high
disengagement).
Gardening can be a rewarding pursuit. There is nothing
better than seeing plants grow and it’s the same with people.
It can also be hard work and involve a long gap between effort and
result. The similarities to managing people are obvious.
Let’s Grow! is focussed on helping you develop a strong team
of engaging leaders who can nurture their teams and create a thriving
organisation. The Let’s Grow! philosophy is based on the same
principles that successful gardeners follow.
