Achieving Your Organisational PB

Location: Townsville
Date: Thursday 23 February 2012

Building resilience, harnessing motivation and creating behavioural change in an organisation is a marathon effort. And just like training for a marathon, it requires a firm commitment, a plan of attack, dealing with obstacles and riding it out when you just want
to stop.

Increasing an organisation's health, happiness and productivity is not a speed race or a quick fix. Organisations need to be patient with individuals in the process of creating 'new normals' in their lives for lasting change to occur.

At a very special AIM event including continental breakfast and keynote presentation, AIM Membership Manager and accredited resilience practitioner Michelle Cooper AFAIM will take participants on an inspirational journey through her own personal challenge to train and complete her first marathon, the iconic New York City Marathon. In doing so she will show how the principles of strength, determination, celebrating key milestones and being a member of a great team are essential to building resilience in both long-distance running and creating long-lasting change.

Michelle will guide participants through an implementation process to change, sharing personal anecdotes and examples.  She explores the tools needed to get started, stay motivated and make changes that can improve your overall effectiveness both in and out of the workplace.

Join Michelle on the epic journey from total beginner to a member of the elite '1% club' (only 1% of the world's population will ever complete a marathon) and discover the steps to making your organisation each employee's 'personal best' workplace.
