Ladies Morning with Annie Coetzee

The monthly Ladies Networking Event held in Centurion is a highlight on our calendar, as this is when the finalist for the prestigious Margaret Hirsch Woman in Business Achiever Award is announced.

The winner for September is Karen de Villiers.  Karen is a CA and owner of Bizzacc, as well as President of BNI Fusion Chapter in Pretoria.  Her business offers Outsourced Financial Management, Financial Management Workshops, Accounting, Taxation Services, Financial Statements and Statutory Audits.  Unfortunately Karen had a last- minute business emergency in Bloemfontein, and was not able to take acceptance of her Award – which will be handed to her at the next Ladies Networking Event.

The Guest Speaker for today was Annie Coetzee.  Annie is an International Speaker, Human Intelligence Specialist and Self-Empowerment Author. She has 16 years’ experience in the Public and Corporate arena in the field of Human Development, which included high level Motivational ‘Power Hours’ and Inspirational In-House Workshops.

The Topic of Annie’s talk was titled ‘Transformation from the Inside out’ where she emphasised the fact that to change our circumstances, we firstly need to change our thinking.  She spoke about the Truth about our belief systems – and how positive self-talk and affirmations are extremely important, and should be done on a daily basis.  Annie is working with some older people, and stressed that if they could change – anybody could change.  Between our current reality and our vision, there is a journey – and we are being drawn to what we ‘activate’ in our subconscious mind through visualising and constant affirmation.  We need to realise that we are constantly being influenced by the media and even our culture, family and friends influence our belief systems.  To overcome negative influences we need to set goals, have a vision (vision boarding is excellent), and read books that can positively influence us.  Imagine what is possible, and then act in excellence.   Annie interspersed the talk with some fun songs – getting everybody to sing and dance together – adding that it is important to add emotion to our beliefs.

We had some lovely compliments from the ladies attending the event, and everybody had a great time.

Miele was kind enough to partner with us, and supply all the eats for the morning.  A big thank you goes to the Miele team – and especially to Liezil van Wyk.

As always we had some lovely lucky draws, with extra gifts sponsored by Annique, Miglio and The Print Factory.

Valentine’s Ladies Morning at Hirsch’s Centurion

A great Valentine’s Ladies Morning was held in Centurion on 11 February.  Ladies came dressed in red and white and everyone participated to make this morning a great success.  The 2015 launch of Woman in Business Achiever of the Year Competition with Ronnie Magic from The Print Factory being the first finalist created great excitement at the function.  Linda Levendag discussed the competition and introduced some of the finalists present who will be at the upcoming gala event on the 18^th February held at Hirsch’s Centurion.  With great prizes up for grabs, the benefits of entering this great initiative by Margaret Hirsch,  many took entry forms with them and looked inspired to enter for this year’s competition. 

 

The fun did not stop here…  Known in Centurion for great Valentines Ladies Functions we had Franco Lambiase from The Cake Man who came all the way from Bramley to do a hands on cake decorating demo.  He brought the most beautiful cakes, cup cakes and the ladies loved every moment.  From decorating chocolate cup cakes with icing roses,  chocolate cake with strawberries, chocolate curls and chocolate shards Franco had the ladies attention throughout this, who can resist all this chocolate!

 

Liesil van Wyk from Miele went out of her way to do a spread of beautiful treats, fresh fruit sticks, mini cheese scones, cheese puffs, scones with cream and jam and so much more.  Belinda Willemse brought beautiful flower arrangements for table décor and each lady received a fresh rose to take home, also sponsored by Belinda.  Lelanie Greef also brought silk roses used as table décor whilst Martie Kruger displayed her lovely Annique products and sponsored a lovely gift.  The lucky draw took place where ladies won some lovely prizes and left feeling spoilt, inspired and motivated till the next successful ladies morning taking place in March.
