Women After 5: Sharon Bryant – Impact Investor – Her Story
2022-06-22 17:30 - 19:00 | The Burrow, 45 Taupo Quay, Whanganui, Wanganui-Manawatu, 4500, New Zealand
Tipping point. The phrase was first used in sociology by Morton Grodzins when he adopted the phrase from physics where it referred to the adding of a small amount of weight to a balanced object until the additional weight caused the object to suddenly and completely topple, or tip. It is that critical point in a situation, process, or system beyond which a significant and often unstoppable effect or change takes place.
We have all had our tipping points in life and business, that eerie point in time just before the tipping point and the moment just after where you know an absolute change has taken place.
Join us at the Women After 5 event with Sharon Bryant where Sharon will share her story through 5 tipping points that led her from wanna-be-go-go-dancer to computer geek to impact investor.
Sharon is a self-proclaimed “scrapy start up girl” who has worked in the start-up space for some 20 years which is almost as long as she has lived in Whanganui.
She is an early-stage investor, mentor, advisor, and company director and is focused on working with purpose led ventures to create positive social and environmental change. She has a background in IT and was a founding partner of technology investment company, Movac.
We look forward to seeing you there!

So what does ‘good communication’ look like and what can we do to make sure we’re communicating as effectively as we can be? It starts with understanding ourselves, then the people around us, and then building from there.
Join Jan Blair, performance coach, counsellor, mentor, and all-round extraordinary person for the morning to set you on a pathway to better relationships and good communication through understanding yourself and others.

Things are beginning to move on from the situation of the last two years. We need to be ready to do so too.
A good way to start is to take a moment away from life and business as usual, to give your future some thought, to set some ambitious goals, and to create a practical tactical plan you can follow (and easily stick to), while we go about realising the future you want.
While you know this is what needs to happen it often ends up in the too hard basket when you try to do it on your own. Luckily you don’t have to.

Women After 5 - Energy and Excellence with Raewyn Overton-Stuart
2022-04-13 17:30 - 19:00 | The Burrow, 45 Taupo Quay, Whanganui, Wanganui-Manawatu, 4500, New Zealand
When Leadership expert John Maxwell was asked,
“How do you know what you are meant to do in life” he replied:
“The answer is really simple: Energy and Excellence.
When you experience unbounded energy in what you are doing, when you are driven to excellence in your work and love what you do – then you can rest assured that you have found your passion and are definitely in pursuit of your full potential.” Easy to say… hard to do!
Raewyn Overton-Stuart is going to share what energy and excellence looks like for her, with some key learnings as to how it has shaped her journey since founding PAUA in 2003.
Raewyn Overton-Stuart started her career with a Kindergarten Teacher’s Diploma in the early 1980s in Christchurch. A move to Whanganui and PAUA (Preschoolers At-home Uniquely Achieving) was formed in 2003. It was born out of desire to provide a quality Home Based Early Childhood Education Service that would reflect her personal values. In 2012, PAUA Poppetts Nanny Recruitment and Babysitting Service joined the PAUA whānau – adding to the services that we can provide, especially for families holidaying in Auckland who need a babysitter in their hotel. PAUA Products (a toy shop – physical and online) and PAUA Print complete the businesses that she founded and runs.
Raewyn is actively involved in the community; she has been part of the Chamber of Commerce board and Chair, is a board member of the Whanganui City Mission, part of Whanganui Daybreak Rotary and an active member of St Paul’s Presbyterian Church.
Join us at Women After 5 for an energetic session with Raewyn!

Now might just be the perfect time to get moving again. Join us for this Business for Breakfast with the talented and high energy, Mark Daniels, Action Coach to find out how.

We welcome you back to our Women After 5 for 2022! We have some exciting events lined up for you this year and no virus is going to stop our momentum. This is the year for reflection and growth, grabbing opportunities and ticking those unticked boxes. For two years we have all been in hiding, fearing the worst, getting our heads around the new norm, trying to survive the onslaught of the big C-word. It is clear that C-word is not going anywhere, so let’s just get on with it as best we can.

We present to you Helen Garner our new Chief Executive of the Chamber. Helen built her professional career in a diverse range of environments and has first-hand experience in the differing cultures of small business, large corporates, local government and not-for-profit organisations. She is an experienced business leader, mentor, manager, strategist and communicator and holds close to heart community development and engagement.

We asked her to be a speaker at the event, not as CE but as Helen Garner, sharing with us her wisdom ranging from connecting your business to the world, mentoring inside and outside your business, and how to handle the rapidly changing environments we will be facing this year whilst remaining calm and focused.

Come meet the woman behind the title and take your first step to being part of something great this year.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Benefits of APL:
– Complete a qualification in a shorter time.
– Reduce or eliminate the need for training in skills and knowledge already held.
– Advance to a higher-level qualification in a shorter time if desired.
– Enrich and grow career opportunities.
Check out UCOL’s website for more information.

MORE ABOUT BEAVER TREE SERVICE
Bryce and the Beaver Tree team run five tree companies from Christchurch to Taupo. In 2011, they won the worldwide ‘Best Business Under 50 Team Members’ at the Global Action Coach Awards. They also received ‘Best Small Business Award’ at the 2018 Whanganui Regional Business Awards and ‘Highly Commended’ in the Professional Services Award. Having been fascinated with people’s mindsets; Bryce changed his own from a ‘busy fool’ scenario, where he controlled and did everything, to a mindset of delegation – employing others with stronger skills sets to take over tasks which were not his strength. A successful and innovative business owner, he is a unique and dynamic speaker and enjoys sharing his experience and knowledge with others.
