I’m a Mum, Step-Mum and Dog Mum and love nothing more than having all our kids, their dogs and our friends around for a BBQ on the weekends
When I get time to escape, you’ll most likely find me and my best friend/husband cruising down the beach on Bribie Island in our Rubicon Jeep Wrangler. This is one of my favourite spots in Australia to camp on the beach and unwind.
My team often mock me for all the analogies and sayings I use so I thought I’d share some of my fav sayings here: ‘stop existing and start living’, ‘start as you mean to go on’, ‘if you worry before you should, you’ll worry more than you should’.
Purple Playground is my second entrepreneurial venture, the first being a camper trailer hire company we established back in 2009 which combined my love of camping with being my own boss!

Her passionate personality, combines spirituality and neuro-knowledge with the science of accessing our subconscious, to hack our belief systems with award-winning results.

She does this by teaching how to embrace and integrate intuitive, empathic intelligence, into the work they do so they can consciously support humanity and the world.

It might surprise you that most businesses mistake a sales process for a sales strategy and this is often one of the main reasons they struggle to find clients.
Moreover, these processes don’t account for immutable sales principles that affect every sales interaction.
Regardless of what stage your business is in, it is never too late (or early) to develop your unique sales strategy to capitalise on your competitive advantages others find hard to replicate.
This DONE Day workshop will help you look at sales strategy for your business from a fundamentally different perspective so you begin to uncover areas you may have overlooked as a competitive advantage to start winning more clients.
Nearing the end of the session, we’ll review a number of the competitive advantages uncovered for participants and subsequent sales strategies that have been developed…
