Dear All,

 

It is hard to believe it is March already, which means that the AFIF 2012 Conference is less than 3 months away.

Earlybird registration closes on the 26 March
– only 17 days away –
so don’t delay;  REGISTER NOW!

 

This year we have completely revamped the program and have introduced a fresh structure to the sessions. We have introduced more sessions to assist you in looking at different aspects of your business, with external presenters we believe can help you. There is also a presentation from the head of FIATA - Mr Stanley Lim from Singapore - looking at Multi-Modal Transport in Asia.

 

PROGRAM AND SPEAKERS

 

 

Each month we aim to highlight one of our speakers/sessions. So far we have introduced you to the following speakers:

 

	PETER FITZSIMONS:	Opening Speaker Friday 25 May: 0930 - 1030am

 

	STEVE KEEN:	What the Global Financial Crisis Now Means to Us Friday 25 May: 3.45 - 4.45pm

 

This month, we would like to introduce Bruce Sullivan, Director of Red Hot Relationships.

 

Bruce is a relationship specialist and a proven performer in achieving results through people for over 24 years. His practical, hands on experience is based on working in both the community and business. Managing his own businesses since his teens, by age 24 he had established his own million-dollar network of businesses and he has an extended track record of working with a wide range of private and public organisations', both in Australia and overseas. Bruce has also worked with individuals, families and communities providing education and opportunities for personal improvement. It is this experience that has given Bruce a unique understanding of our ability to relate to one another in the workplace and at home. This is what sets his work apart and gives a very practical and timely insight into the human side of the corporate environment. In 2007 Bruce was awarded the Keynote Speaker of the Year by the National Speakers Association of Australia. He was also presented with the Paul Harris Fellowship Award for his outstanding contribution to the Rotary Youth Leadership Award which is a Youth Leadership Program for up and coming leaders in the 18 to 25 year old category. Bruce has been presenting at this program for over 19 years. Bruce's session will equip you with proven and practical strategies that provide a solid platform for relationships and enhance cooperation, particularly in times of dissatisfaction. This knowledge is useful at home and at work and if applied, will lead to effective and healthy relationships and improved organisational outcomes.
