The state of women in the workplace is constantly evolving. Each year we make new strides to be more inclusive, close the gender pay gap across industries, and promote and support more women in business. This series will outline the current state of the industry, the challenges women are facing in their careers, as well as opportunities and solutions for women climbing the corporate ladder.

With over 120 patents and a multi-million dollar brand with a 90% success rate on new items launched, Lori Greiner is an inventor, entrepreneur and investor with heart. On Shark Tank, she’s known as the “Warm-Blooded Shark.” We’re excited to have Lori on our webinar series, sharing her story of success and answering small business questions from our audience.

Shark Tank’s Lori Greiner Answers your questions on 10.27

Tell me if this sounds familiar…
It's another busy week at the office and you’ve got a media interview on Monday, board presentation to prep for on Wednesday, and the following Monday you’re flying off to deliver a keynote at a big industry conference to raise your company’s brand profile.

Meanwhile, you’ve still got to manage your team and all the day-to-day tasks. When are you going to carve out the time to prep for all these upcoming speaking events?

You figure you’re ok just ‘winging it’ like last time but that only left your investors with more questions to answer afterwards…

But what if there were another way?

In this live online demonstration, brought to you by Julia Wojnar, the Founder of Unleash Your Presence, she’s revealing her cutting-edge three step methodology to save you all the time and energy that you’d otherwise spend reinventing the wheel for those speaking events.

3 Steps to Influence Your Audience from the Boardroom to a Keynote

Self-Talk it’s the gift that either creates or denies your power. It’s either helpful or hindering. Which do you gift yourself most often?

We usually think about and maintain our physical health and wellbeing but so often our mind health and how we speak to ourselves falls to the bottom of the priority list.

“The ancestor to every action is a thought”

Planning, preparing for and feeling good about yourself and your own success involves a number of key elements -

Some of which are:
- Self-Talk
- Skills Audit
- Identifying strengths and areas for development
- Overcoming any ‘Imposterism’ you’re experiencing
- Identifying you Motivation
- Crafting Goals
  
Nurturing your mindset to support what you want to achieve in life also involves doing what you can to prepare for setbacks, sometimes referred to as resilience or coping strategies.

In this Webinar we will explore what you can do to use your self-talk and inner voice to support a mindset to achieve and celebrate your success alongside identifying and accessing tools and techniques to help you through the times when things don't all seem to be going your way.

We will cover:
- Identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns
- Guiding your inner critic to be your voice of objective reason
- Overcoming ‘Imposter Syndrome’
- Turning kindness and appreciation inwards
- How to tap into your motivation and enjoy your success more

How To Nurture Your Mindset for Greater Success

Let’s talk Goal Setting, Planning & Values! 

On average we spend more time planning our annual holiday than we do our ‘Life Goals’. Having a dream to aspire to is fantastic but without a plan and action steps, dreams rarely turn into ‘goal achieved’.

Most of us know what SMART goals are, but how much time do you spend crafting your goals and nurturing them in a way that allows you to stay focused on attaining them?

What about your values, how often do you pay close attention to your values, what’s important to you and your motivation for achieving your goals?

I imagine values are considered even less than goals.

The combination of setting your goal and achieving it in line with your values is one of the most powerful experiences an individual can have.

Join Rosemarie Wilson for this Webinar where she will explore the power of goal setting and guide you to be able to identify your core values, so you can combine the two and experience the impact it will have for you.

We will cover:
- What is a SMART Goal?
- What exactly are values?
- What is a value based goal?
- How to identify your why and motivational factors
- How to align your success with your values
- The Importance of an Accountability Partner
 
Success means different things to each of us and when we achieve the things we want in life garnered with values and authenticity we are likely to feel and be more fulfilled.

How To Set Goals in Alignment with Your Values

In our fast-paced, overstimulated world, it’s difficult to be purposeful and intentional about how we manage our careers. When we are not intentional, however, we rely on others to guide our careers, which may not align with our own values and goals. We may also have unrealistic expectations of the support others will provide. While supportive managers and mentors are valuable resources to maximize our success, we must empower ourselves to drive our own careers.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:
* Clarify your strengths, values, and career direction
* Leverage your strengths and expertise to lead from where you are
* Build influential relationships that can help you achieve your goals
* Advocate for yourself in preparation for new opportunities

When was the last time you were shown appreciation, recognition or gratitude in your place of work? How does it make you feel, when you’re acknowledged in this way? When did you last do the same, show appreciation, recognition or gratitude in your workplace? 

Gratitude is one of the most important ingredients that makes teamwork and camaraderie possible. Often businesses don't realise how much people care deeply about doing well, so why not recognise and reward your employees as a way to nurture and retain talent and by doing so encouraging employees throughout your organisation to do the same for each other. 

Let’s come together to discuss how to take the first step in creating a culture in which sharing appreciation and gratitude in the moment is as natural as showing up for meetings or checking emails. 

This webinar will explore the benefits of gratitude and appreciation for one another and how to stop shying away from it.

We will cover: 
- Why should we be appreciative? 
- Recognition and reward, it’s not all about the money 
- Values and feeling valued 
- Benefits of a culture of appreciation 
- What practical steps can you take, be it employer or employee
