A Message From Kylie and Anna

September was another great month of networking and expanding our connections both within Australia and across the Pacific. We were lucky enough to travel to Samoa and be hosted by the wonderful team at Onelook Studios where we got to work with them at their hub and where introduced to business owners, organisations, government representatives and chambers that work across Apia. We have also been busy with developing training courses and continuing to service businesses in the area of Extended DISC - helping individuals to learn about different behavioural styles, how people like to communicate and make decisions and adapt to change. September saw us launch a partnership with Costplan Group to deliver a two year tailored leadership program for their emerging leaders based across the UK, Australia and PNG. ?


Visiting Samoa ??

In September Dr Anna Blackman and Kylie Ellwood travelled to one of our partner nations - Samoa. We were extremely grateful for the opportunity to travel to Apia and work with Onelook Studio co-owners Olisana Mariner-Hughes and Okalani Mariner and their team. During our week long trip we got to visit a number of different sights and also meet with different representatives from local business owners to government and chamber officials as well as organisations working within the sporting industry.

Queensland AI Summit

Our Director’s, Dr Anna Blackman and Kylie Ellwood are continuously seeking new ways to optimise business and with AI being a current and thriving topic for business, what better way to learn than immerse in the Queensland AI Hub inaugural AI Summit at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre. ?Dr Anna and Kylie heard from various experts on all things AI. To name a few #Canva #VALD #Splash #OpenAI #GoogleCloud #CSIRO #SAP #FastAI #Lumachain

Key topics ranged from designing to building AI applications, it was inspiring to learn what different organisations are doing in the field and the support that is out there for SME’s in the space of AI.

Client Testimonials

Kim Davie Dip. FMBM, MBA - Finance Specialist | MoneyQuest Carnegie

“I have used Kylie twice now and will continue to use her for assisting me in hiring staff. The cost of onboarding staff and getting it wrong far outweighs the any costs in using Kylie. Both my employees have been great team members but what helped was the knowledge that Kylie was able to give me to before they started to know what motivates them, where their strengths are and where they might struggle so I can be aware of this from the start to help and support them and build the team knowing this. I would not hesitate to use recommend Kylie to anyone considering bringing in a team member to ensure they are the right fit for you and your team.”
