| Toby Travanner Toby Travanner is a professional corporate trainer, keynote presenter, master of ceremonies and consultant. His primary area of expertise is coaching individuals and teams to realise their business and personal goals especially in the areas of sales and marketing. He is an entertaining and challenging facilitator, with a reputation for high-energy, high-contact presentations. Toby consistently achieves 'excellent' ratings from the participants of his sessions, with most of his clients rating him as the best presenter they have ever worked with. Being well versed in many industries and with over 30 years of experience in consulting, Toby is able to capture and motivate audiences with real, 'take home' techniques and attitudes. With global experience of business and personal cultures, Toby tailors his presentations and facilitated sessions specifically to the strategic environment of his clients and will often develop new techniques and methodologies to meet the continuing demands of people development in business today. This customisation means that new ideas are more likely to be used and implemented by participants in his programs which are more likely to lead to a significant impact to the success of an organisation. Toby is described as the ‘swiss army knife’ by many of his clients because of his ability to pull out the appropriate tool when necessary. Although he speaks on his favourite subjects, he uses his learning and development background to tailor his presentations from first principles to ensure that the content is relevant, informative, entertaining, but most importantly, immediately usable. He’s used this approach for not only keynote presentations, but also in his role as a ‘link presenter’, that five minute topic to link two speakers together when he is MCing, but also when he launches new products or initiatives for his clients. It’s all about making them look good. Toby's presentations are designed around his 3 ’S’s: Short term: There must be something that is immediately useable by the participants. If people and organisations don't see an immediate benefit, it is more difficult to gain the momentum from Skills Development or motivational activities. Sustainable: Motivation can sometimes be limited to the time during the interaction with the presenter. Often we take part in sessions where we are entertained and think "I must do that when I get back to work". Unless the ideas, attitudes and methods are sustainable outside the conference or learning environment, then improvements to the return on intellect will not be achievable. Significant: Outcomes, over a period of time, need to have a significant, measurable benefit to both the individual and to the organisation of which they are a part. These outcomes need to be in the form of improved technical and professional behaviours that lead to benefits to business processes. Toby’s favourite topics include: * communicating with influence and motivation * human behaviours * technology demystification * sales skills in the Australian culture * customer service PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VIEW CONFERENCE SLIDES | |

| Sue-Ellen Kusher Strategic Learning and Capability Specialist, Human Resource Services Unit of The Public Trust Office, Queensland. All of us have to speak as part of our occupation. The research says that managers spend somewhere between 50% - 80% of their total time communicating in one way or another – even when they don’t intend to! Communication is critical to everything that goes on in an organisation. When information is missing we fill in the gaps as best we can, so without clearly targeted information it’s difficult to follow instructions or influence the expectations of those who are in a position to make critical decisions. The opportunity to improve personally, and to deliver greater productivity professionally, is everywhere.
This is where Sue-Ellen steps in ...
As a professional actor Sue-Ellen studied human behaviour and interaction from a unique perspective. She has also owned and operated commercial and retail businesses, managed a statistical marketing company, and ultimately became an international, commercial retail impact specialist. She has moved from helping clients like Apple computers establish their retail presence and vibe throughout the southern hemisphere, to working with renowned specialists at master classes in the Californian university system and piloting programs in Australian universities. For the past twenty-two years she has excelled as a workplace facilitator, coach and mediator and more recently as the owner/editor of a digital corporate development platform. Sue-Ellen is a Master Practitioner of NLP, accredited in a range of psychological, transactional and assessment tools as well as dabbling in Reiki.
For her clients Sue-Ellen specialise in all aspects of complex communication, education, leadership and maximisation in both the digital and real environment. In every aspect of personal development she incorporates strategic design, psychological patterning and delivery methods that employ triple loop strategies on multiple learning levels. This means that information is absorbed and understood on both a conscious and sub-conscious level (where true change happens). The combination of solid research, acting experience, psychological strategy and NLP technique, offers our clients some real advantages. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VIEW CONFERENCE SLIDES | |
