The event will take place on Tuesday, 15 April 2025, at the Elgin River Lodge Conference Facility, Cape Town. We are looking for a guest speaker to engage with our staff, the majority of whom are in Sales, for approximately an hour.
As H1 marks the beginning of the first half of the year, our focus is on new sales, new business opportunities, strengthening existing client relationships, and optimising our sales team for FY26. I am seeking a speaker who can not only inspire and motivate but also provide valuable insights on topics such as mental health, well-being, maintaining a balanced lifestyle, and fostering resilience. A key theme we would love to explore is the idea of “setting intentions rather than goals.”
