Ladybirds and Perspectives Coaching — Five Faces of Success Luncheon

Join us at the Windsor on Thursday February 2nd to launch the Women and Success Survey by Perspectives Coaching. With over 550 responses so far, this survey has given us great insight into how Australian women feel about success and what's important to them.

A panel of five successful women will be sharing their personal views on success and will form a panel to discuss the findings of the survey. We are excited to confirm that Marcia Griffin a renowned Australian business woman together with Jacinta Caithness (tipped to be the next CEO of Boost Juice) and super mum Melissa Jurie are three of our speakers for this exciting event. Stay tuned for news of our other speaker.

Start your 2006 with vibrant goals and shared strategies to help you fulfil your vision. This lunch is for Women AND EVERYONE who is in relationship with women, both professionally and personally. In an ageing workforce Corporate Australia needs to listen and understand what drives women and what's important to us.

We will be offering a sumptuous two course luncheon with wine and coffee. Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of the survey results and will be automatically invited to our celebration at JWOW Wine Bar from 6pm onwards that evening to party. As you have come to expect from our functions, there will be fabulous door prizes to win.

Here is sneak preview of what Australian women have shared so far:

91.4% of you feel successful

83% said that feeling good about yourself was very important to having a successful life

69% said that work / life balance was an important factor to their success and achievement

54% said that a passion for what you do was a key factor contributing to success in their career.

When asked: How do you define success?

"What I have learnt is that we really can only be successful at things we do. Which means that we can only fail at things we do. We therefore cannot be defined as a success or a failure as a whole person. What a relief... I am allowed to be imperfect"

"Success is waking up each day with purpose, knowing you are making a difference, enjoying the journey whilst continually growing personally"

"Success is giving whatever we attempt in life our best shot. It is not the result but the knowledge that we have tried that matters. It is fulfilling, non judgemental relationships with friends and colleagues and most importantly the ability to have fun. One needs to be able to laugh at oneself! "
